Philco 41-625 Beam of Light
#1

I inherited a Philco Beam of Light 41-625 radio and record player from my grandmother some years ago. I have decided to start working on it. The original beam of light record player was removed and swapped out for a more recent player by my uncle before I inherited it and the original is not available. I am planning on starting by rewiring and recapping as the only thing it does now is make a slight hum. So, I have some time. I do not want to ruin one that can be refurbished but if anyone has a beam of light player available, preferably one that has the record cutter , I would like to hear from you. Also, it has a clear plastic dial cover. Does anyone know whether or not the originals were plastic. I think it would look much sharper looking with glass. Also, any suggestions on refurbishing the dial face would be appreciated. It looks dirty and faded and the white is yellowed. Thanks.
