The receiver looked very familiar to me, and when I saw the changer it all came back. When I was a teen we had a console that opened from the front. The changer was at the bottom and it pulled out on slides. Same changer as in this unit, I'm pretty sure, and the tuner/amp was at least very similar.

very nice console
i just bought an admiral tv/phono console from about
1957. what type of cartridges do they use,a power point?

Oh yes, The Velocity trip device device located under the turntable gets sluggish when not used and causes the tone arm to drag as it nears the end of the record. You can often feel the resistance when you move the arm toward center. This drag sometimes causes it to sound a little fuzzy. Lubrication is not recommended in the service manual but exercise over and over does seem to help. Once the trip device gets really out of whack with lubrication it is very hard to get it right again.

I love Admiral stuff, I have many of those record changers! My whole radio/record player room is filled with mostly Admiral units. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Those settings were intended to give more tonally accurate playback of records made by different labels in the years before 1954 when the RIAA curve was standardised. LP for early Columbia LPs, LON for records made by UK Decca (aka London in the US) from 1944 onward, the famous FFRR (Full Frequency Range Recording) records.

Hard to disassemble? Yep, it's an Admiral... :-)

Nice stereo! That 78 sounds good! I hope it gets fully restored, but it's nice as it is.
Hope you enjoy your Christmas holiday!

I just got a 1961 magnavox and I was wondering if anyone can help me out
When I turn it on it's ok for a sec then hums
Anyone know what might be causing that? And how do I re grease the underneath the record player and the idle wheel doesn't see right
Any help?

@Turkeydoodlers Hum is usually caused by bad electrolytic capacitors. On the record changer there are two bolts with nuts that fold up that you undo on the underside of the changer to remove it. If the idler wheel has a flat spot in it you may be able to put it in a drill like a drill bit and grind it down slightly on some fine sandpaper attached to a workbench.
