TD, YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY STEREO!!!! Same set up!!! I have a digi cam, and dont know how to use it really good, yet. Mine is totally original. Someone has buggered the turntable cover somewhat, and the record runs like it is warped. I need to get the turntable off of it. I cant see an E clip on the spindle. Never had a VM turntable before. BSR, and Collaro's are the ones I've played with. As for the condition of the GE, even all the lights work!
I sure dont have that Sams either, Tom, too new for me too, plus, I never did audio back when I had my shop. All thats wrong, I think, is caps. The amp comes up clear when I install cold 6U8's then fades to a distorted noise. Having no tube checker, right now, that will test these 7355's is a slight problem, but I think the ones I have are probably OK. All of the tubes are original, except one of the 6U8's which someone replaced with an RCA 6GH8... Not my choice at all.
Thanks for all the info on the little RCA, too, Jukin Jay! I've seen these things since I was a little fart, and have never owned one. Mine has the zig-zag tone arm, and the slide button on the left side of the deck. Once it starts running, I have over 3000 45's in the collection--have always hoped to run across a juke box one day.....
BTW, I need a total of 9 grommets for turntable motors. 3 for the RCA, 3 for an old Collaro, and 3 for an old GE Mustang II el-cheap-o portable stereo. I've seen them, but cant remember where. Brain-farts are rough!
