@lrd9999 Thanks for the comments! Yes, RCA did make these units sound much better, thanks to the higher quality Sonotone cartridge. As for the speed, yes, the motors in these particular units did not maintain speed that well.
-
@lrd9999 BTW: other than the speed, it sounds amazingly good. RCA really did their homework with the speaker/amp.
-
@frangiul13 I've heard that song on the radio periodically over the years; never heard it that slow. I doubt that you could buy a record with the speed that far off, so it's probably running slow. So many things can affect the speed with the usual induction motor, even the line voltage, along with sticky grease and hardened idler wheels. But even more factors would affect AC/DC model like that; I once had a tape deck with a rheostat to turn up the speed as the batteries aged.

Ur look newer like then my. I just bought off Ebay few days ago. I got work on AM I put new tube 1R5 sound good, nice tone. One thing is a porblem motor kind weak I clean the rubble some oil make smooth, let run for few mintues still weak.
-
Not sure of the year, but need a needle for an RCA orthophonic high fidality, reg. 3 00839 that I got years ago at a school auction for $40.00. Turntable spins great, no sound.
-
That is true, but the motors in these units tend to vary in speed.
-
You know one time I had tried everything for this one old record player and then it dawned on me that the inside of the turntable platter itself needed cleaning it was just a tad greasy, and though I didn't feel any grease when I felt under the platter, after I cleaned it, the speed no longer dragged! Soap and water, and towel dry.
-
Nope, it's not the oil, nor the wheel. These units used a 6v DC motor to run the turntable. These motors did not maintain speed very well. This is a common issue with the 6-BY-4 Look it up in "The Fabulous Victrola 45" by Phil Vourtsis, page 64.

Thanks for your comment! I've collected many RCA 50's record players over the years. Many of which, I won on eBay. My advice to you is to keep scanning eBay for a good example, then bid to win! :)
