Small Silvertone Phonograph
#2

A little update, the phonograph is now working! Had the caps and electrolytics replaced and the motor lubed up. The cartridge is fine, anyone know what these cartridges are in the Silvertone phongraphs of this era? I have a couple and my friend has had several and they never seem to die. They can't be magnetic can they? Only issue is they use the cursed 'permanent' stylus. So, when the stylus wears out you have to replace the whole shot. Only other issue is the spindle acts too large for several 78's. I've never run into that issue before with a 78 rpm phonograph. Might have to take some fine grit sandpaper and polish the spindle some more.

No matter where you go, there you are.
