Philco Model 212, want advice on value and restoration potential
#3

Thanks Ron.
The platter is missing, and one of the photos shows that a cast metal armature is broken (I think it's the base of the arm that moves the discs). I'm looking for more info on the changer - wondering if it would be worth finding a non-working one for parts.
Also, I did find this: http://www.philcoradio.com/tech/plugin.htm and no, I haven't plugged it in yet. Kind of figured there might be something like that. Not sure I want to invest that much in it, but I'm tempted. Where can I buy electrolytics? I saw the resources page, but I don't see anybody listed as selling electrolytic condensers - are they called something else? Can they be tested, instead of blindly replacing them?
If I start pulling parts off to test them, is there anything I need to beware of like charged capacitors, etc?
