Philco 48-1286 Restoration
#1

I got a Philco 48-1286 from my Grandpa after he died a few years ago and have not really looked at until now. I was using it as just decoration but now I am interested and getting it to work.

It powers on and the AM radio works great. FM is working on some stations but it is in the basement so maybe reception isn't that great for other stations. Record player spins?

Any help would be appreciated...such as what I would need to do first, do I need to replace anything, how do I get a new needle for the record player etc..

Thanks!
Dave
