   I get my caps from Ebay, Auction Radio Supply, and or Just Radios. If your replacing caps, just match the uf and voltage rating on cap. You can got high on the voltage, but keep the uf rating the same or very close. Also, there’s video how-to video on here too. Hope this helps!

   Thanx, but I’m going to upgrade to a high-out cartridge because this one is kinda low and it needs a minor adjustment.

    BTW, my 1959 Webcor Maestro tube record player still hasn’t restore yet, but it needs a new speaker cone and a new capacitor as well and the lube job to get rid of that rusty motor, because the 78 speed is too loud, but I will bring to a local repair shop someday to get it fix and get it working.

    Nice restoration! …
    Nice restoration! I’ve seen those two from your former channel about the ‘56 Gellard took apart and all the parts put it in place. You did a great job restoring the original 1956 Gellard. It’s the same 45 RPM record player than the RCA one on both the 1952 and the rare 1951 Disney “Alice in Wonderland” edition which you don’t have, but it’s available on Ebay.

    “Love Is Strange” was from the “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack which I do have.
