I've got a number of stupid questions on the phonograph in the Phico 47-1227 I'm restoring. First does this play 33 RPM records or 78 RPM records? Second I've got the motor running but when I turn it on in the manual position the arm continues to go up and down, and in the automatic mode is swings over towards the record, lowers, and immediately returns. I can't get any sound out of the cartridge but I can get my MP3 player to play through the amplifier when I connect it to the cartridge leads. Before I rebuild the cartridge I need to know how this thing is supposed to work. Anyone have some simple instructions on using the phonograph?
Thanks,
Keith
