Packard Bell Fans? - GregL - 10-10-2013

Hi Guys,
I just picked up a great Packard Bell Model RPC 92. Works pretty well. I'd like to locate a service manual and/
or user manual for it. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Greg

A little too new for me it date about 1969. Not listed in Sam's

Thanks Terry. I would like to replace the needle on the record player but I'm not sure how to determine the record player model number? It is a Gerrard.

If this is a late 1960's Garrard record changer just about any modern magnetic cartridge can be fitted and balanced -- may be easier than obtaining a needle, but do take a close up picture which would help us determine what you have. Anything of this vintage should be gone over by a knowledgeable person to address safety and long term performance issues.

If you are able to have a look at the cartridge you might be able to find a model # on it. You can use that to lookup the needle.

It's most likely a ceramic cartridge in a phono from that era.
