Hello, I am restoring a Philco Beam-of-Light phonograph with an HR-1 record cutter/recorder. It's the Model 41-608 radio/phono. Everything seems to be powering on, but I am not getting any sound from the speaker when playing a record. I suspect that maybe the transformer that connects to the BOL arm my not be functioning properly. Questions:
1. Is there a replacement for the Philco d 32-8148m transformer on the market?
2. If worse case scenario, can I replace the pickup arm with a traditional needle arm?
Thank you for any help in advance.
