I just got a 42-1008 (Beam-of-Light) going and I need to be assured that it wasn't a waste of time. No time has been spent appearances yet. It required only new motor-mounts for the changer, new electrolytics, and two new paper caps to replace those with important levels of leakage. I was very careful not to disturb wires with hardened insulation. The rubber boots holding the needle have hardened and make record reproduction a bit thin. This radio has the only 78 rpm changer that I'd save from oblivion. The low-noise triode mixer with two IF amps is classy.
