GE console stereo, and an RCA 45 rpm record player

Not really sure where to post this, so here goes. Theres no real defined place for this stuff.

Met a little old lady last week that told me that she had a really old console radio and record player. The way she talked, I thought it was an old 78 set, actually hoping for something like a Scott, or a Zenith.

Turns out that it is a GE console from 1960-61. Its an RC-1711A with a PC design tube amplifier, tuner, and FM multiplexer. The turntable was hung up and would not stop rejecting... its already fixed. Its strange.

It has something called a Vaccumatic dust remover for the needle. The vacuum motor was stuck, but a bit of oil cured that, too.

There is a problem with the power amp board. It uses 4-7355 outputs, 2 6U8A's, and one 12AX7A for a preamp. A nice 5U4GB rounds out the critter.

I really need a schematic copy of the power amp itself. Thats all, as the tuner is working fine, as is the multiplexer.

Also, the RCA 45 player. Model 6EY2Q. Bakelite cabinet. Someone stole the cartridge out of it. What can I replace it with? Also, need a schematic for it, too, as a couple of resistors at the 12AV6 tube are fried, as was the tube. There will be more stuff I need later, as I havent even started messing with the little turntable yet. I think the little rubber cam wheel on the mechanism is shot, too.

Thanks, in advance, for all your help!!
