Help!! I don’t know the model
#1

Hi there, I just bought this the other day at a resale shop so there was no info about it other than “record player table”. I figured out the brand by myself but cannot for the life of me figure out the model. The turntable needs a new needle so that’s why I need the model, I believe there is another piece missing as well, also on the turntable. Any information would be fantastic, thanks in advance!!

Looks like a 60s model. I believe Philco used Voice of Music changers in the consoles. You probably have to take a closer look at the cartridge to match a needle. Quite often the original cartridge has been replaced.

Hi and welcome,
There's a possibility that the radio and the phono where sold as separate units. In this case the model number would be on found on each component.
As for the needle/cartridge I'd give these guys a try: https://thevoiceofmusic.com/catalog/phono_needles.asp  You may be able to send them a pic of what you have and go from there.

That is very nice...  Something I am more familiar with have a similar VM unit my first wife just had to have..
Early American or Colonial design, I never cared for the Spanish or Mediterranean designs...  He, he, the V-M worked right up to the day she hauled it away during the divorce Icon_lol

BTW it was Solid-State, went through at least 6 needles and one ceramic cart. My favorite album was "Switched on Bach" at near full volume, she hated it...
