CRAWL SPACE FIND
#1

Hello everyone,
I recently foun a turntable while cleaning out a crawl space at the house I bought. I was wanting to know if anybody could help me identify the year of it. I would also like to restore it. I plugged it in and it plays fine. Any help would be apprec iated.
PHILCO MODEL # K-1526-121 is the only number I can find on it
Thanks

Based on that letter K, it probably dates back to 1962.

B - 1954
C - 1955
D - 1956
E - 1957
F - 1958
G - 1959
H - 1960
J - 1961
K - 1962

and so on...

From 1937 to 1953, Philco used the last two digits of the model year (i.e. 37-610, 48-1274) as a prefix to its model numbers instead of letters as above; the letters were adopted in the 1954 model year.
