Thanks! You are right, many of these units are replaced with more modern record-players. The rubber wheel is often damaged by the constant pressure against the motor!

I have one of these! I love the design of it.

The original floor cabinet was destroyed by termites and original amplifier/radio receiver burned. Also the original cartridge broke, and that rubber wheel was so dry that the motor wasn't turning it. So I made a table case, replaced the motor making a belt drive system, installed a stereo magnetic cartridge and connected to a modern amplifier.

The record changer mechanics works fine, didn't need any modification or repair.

Wow, they made some pretty turntables back in the day...& you'd think this is the age of automation. Those turntables were fun to look at, although they have some great looking tables nowadays as well.

Very nice... I have a slightly different Philips model (AG 1003) that does not seem to want to work. Everything looks okay underneath and when I lift arm I get a hum that I can feel in the speed selector knob. The spindle does not spin, thus the platter does not spin. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

I had too much coffee this morning and I have no patients to sit here and watch this now.

Hi

I have what looks like the exact same model in a Philps console from the late 50's. Unfortunately some parts are missing and it's not working. The two round knobs to the front right are still there, but their connections to the rest of the mechanism are missing. I wonder if its possible to find replacement parts for this turntable? Is the original cartridge still working?

Hello John,  A very nice restoration of one of the most difficult autochangers to get working correctly. Many of these units were replaced by Garrard and BSR decks due to erratic operation. Well Done! John.
