We have a circa 1948 Ward's Airline 78 rpm record player that I pulled out of my bone yard. It has not been serviced by me and, as far as I can tell, has not been serviced in a very long time (if ever). Just for fun, I plugged it in.....not really caring if it smoked and, what do you know, the darn thing works (even with the original crystal cartridge). Yes, it will need a full overhaul in order to work it's best and be reliable; but, I'd like to see your Crosley Cruiser do this in 70+ years.

I'm old enough to remember when things were build to last. There's not even any TV repair shops or electronic repair shops left in the largest town in my county. When I was a kid and a young adult there were easily half a dozen. We live in a throwaway society now. When a TV or record player breaks nowadays , we just chunk it in the trash and go to the nearest big box store and buy another Chinese-made one.

Recently stumbled across your channel, while looking up some info for my recently acquired GE model GM-11 wireless turntable. Been binge watching since then. I had an uncle that I used to help service TV's, back in the early 1970's. I reckon that began my interest in old gear; particularly tube stuff. Great to see folks keeping the great old gear going! Peace :)

I beg to differ. Many record changers from the 1950's can be retrofitted with a modern stereo cartridge, and made to track at 5 grams. Granted, I wouldn't play a valuable rare pressing on it, but for commonly available records, I wouldn't hesitate.
@radiotvphononut
3 жыл бұрын
No, this one does not sound that great; but, it will sound better when it's overhauled and it will get a more modern cartridge that will track lighter. Even though the old cartridge has output, I'm sure it's internal rubber parts have hardened and that will cause poor sound quality. As far as what records to play on which machine, I have good records that only get played on my better turntable; but, there are plenty enough common and/or beat up records to play on these older models. As far as 78's, they were originally played on equipment that tracked in the 30-100+ grams range and if I can get it down to 10-15 grams with a modern cartridge, that won't phase a 78.

There are no valuable records out there. I play all of my records on my 1957 magnavox 200H. Never needed anti skate as my collaro is properly serviced and it tracks somewhere between 5 and 9 grams. I can stack about 10 records and set it and forget.
