Phonorama B1756
#1

Hi everyone,

First of all I'm completely new into this world, but I feel really excited about it.

My grandmother gave me this Phonorama before passing away. I have been researching and it's a Philco Phonorama B1756 from 1954. I'm from Chile and, according to her and my mom, there were only two imported when my grandfather bought it.

The wood is absolutely beautiful, and according to what I have researched, it was top of the line back then. When I was I kid I remember we turned it on once and it worked, but now the chord is in bad condition, so I must to replace it. I want to take the challenge and make this beauty sing again, but have zero knowledge of electronics. Where should I start? Does anyone have a pdf version of the service manual?

Any further information about it would be much appreciated.
