BOL: Please help me get my mother-in-law off my back
#1

Icon_confused Icon_crazy Icon_lol

Every time I show off another radio on FB, my mother-in-law asks me when I'll fix her Beam Of Light record changer.
It's getting irritating and she keeps claiming she'll just get someone else to fix it (as if she can take it to the non-existent record player repair shop down the street and they'll even know what it is).  Icon_rolleyes

So here's what I need:
1. Something to replace the bad photocell.
2. New rubber for the drive bell.

The repair doesn't look hard, but the materials appear to made of weapons-grade unobtanium. I don't even know where to start looking.
 

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
