Philco 47-1230 restoration
#6

I have the similar looking Philco 46-1209 model without FM which I am restoring. I am also going to restore a Philco 49-1613 that has FM as well as dual tonearms, one for 78s and one for LPs. The turntable will probably need new idler wheel and lube. The cartridge will need to be rebuilt, but you will not be able to buy the stylus for it as they are very rare or non-existant. It uses a magnetic cartridge. You might be able to have the cartridge replaced with a more modern Astatic ceramic cart, for which styli are available. You should West-Tech for advice on the turntable. I am doing this with mine, but I had to buy the turntable D10 with a cystal cart. for this. They said that you can't do that with the D10-a, which is the turntable you have. If you want to play LPs at 33 rpm, you should look for a '49 or later turntable.
