Hi Rick, welcome to the Phorum. Your record player originally came with the P30 crystal cartridge which has probably dried out by now and won't produce any signal. If you need to replace it you can find a ceramic cartridge kit at thevoiceofmusic.com for $32. https://www.thevoiceofmusic.com/catalog/...es=Crystal
I put one in a RCA phonograph and it works fine. More advice: Try to avoid powering up the radio until you have replaced the old capacitors, waxed paper and electrolytic. If you don't replace them you risk damaging parts that are difficult to find or replace. Guidance to do this can be found elsewhere on this site. GL with the inheritance.
