This record player needed the motor and turntable bearing lubricated. I show the inside components.

  • You'd never guess that that was made 1983 from the outside; the arm suggests late '60s, the case could have been 30 years older. Only the date stamp and the IC amplifier make the age of that machine clear. I assume that the separate power transformer was because a winding on the motor wouldn't have provided the current needed to fill a classroom with sound.

  • is it easy to get replacement needles for this type record player?

  • Hey Mr. Chad I have no concept of this Hamilton (or for that matter any) record player but as a young-ish (y30) American looking at older stuff I find your video recordings nothing short of amazing. What a tribute to our history to honor old stuff in such a way. Thank you for doing this.

  • I have a friend who has a load of old record players and I want to get ahold of them to fix and preserve.

  • Yep, it has the same exactly motor assembly in my 1974 Audiotronics and 1971 Rheem Califone! It also has the same tonearm and platter on my Audiotronics too.

  • My friend has one of those. We just sit around and listen to his huge collection of 45's . It does put out some nice sound!

  • Looks like an old Califone record player. The kind of record players I remember in elementary school.

  • remember to disassemble the turntable spindle and clean off the thick old lube and re-oil. That little drag will mess up the correct speed.

  • What song are you playing and what artist?

    I love it! Sounds like what I heard in the aisles of the old Pantry Pride as a little kid with my Dad in the 70s!

  • Looks like my Califone 1035AV. Thanks for preserving!
