Restoration Project #42 - PE Musical 5V - Part 1 My first ever restoration was my grandfather's old tube radio. I did that one before I made videos, so it isn't anywhere up here, sorry. It does have a "phono" input on the backside and that always fascinated me: how about a record player that fits the time period? And so I scouted all over the net for affordable ones. Mind you, I wanted something to restore and just for fun... so paying three digit amounts plus shipping was out of the question here, otherwise I would have found it way sooner. Cue last year: a friend in Germany poked me and asked if I would be interested in a lot of old record players that somebody in his neighborhood offered "free for pickup". And one of them fit the bill! So I paid shipping only on this... ...and now follow me on the first part of the two part series to find out just why it was free. 0:00 Intro / Presentation 1:13 Opening up the case / First Impressions 2:39 Discovering Model Details / Motor Stator-Status 4:00 Rebuilding the Stator 5:39 Rotor Cleanup and Run Capacitor 7:35 Motor Trials / Resistor Issue 8:53 Amplifier Section / Transformer Issue 10:20 Rewinding- / Repacking Transformer 11:20 Amplifier Start / Audio Transformer 13:05 Speaker and Transformer / Recapping Start 14:30 Volume Potentiometer Repair 16:19 Capacitor Replacement 17:36 Rectifier Replacement 18:27 Fuse Holder Board 20:08 B+ Go!
