Hi guys,
I found a Philco 51-1733 console at goodwill that someone wired a modern turntable into. It’s in really great shape apart from a hole in front on the speaker and a decent hum that I can’t get rid of. It does go down slightly when I turn the tuning and volumes knobs up to a specific point. This will replace an RCA solid state direct drive console that spins to quickly but has no hum.
I’m new to vintage sound and have no experience with tubes or wiring. I believe I have a functioning amp as every tube is lit and hot. I found the manual on the site which will come in handy. I’m in Colorado Springs in case anyone knows of local repairs or parts if necessary.
Thanks,
