Here will be the documentation of the electronic restoration.
I'm going to start with the chassis, and then move on to the record player.
This will take some time. I will chip away at it around other projects and jobs.

Initial inspection:

I pulled the chassis, and took it outside and hit it with a can of air, and a soft bristled paint brush to get the dust off.

1st thing I did was check the tubes. 1 or 2 tested low, and 1 was completely dead. Care to guess which one

Overall, the chassis is in near original condition. Dial looks good.

The original fiber board bottom panel is still attached and in remarkable condition

And under the chassis looks to be in good condition. I know the on-off-volume pot has been replaced, as well as at least one of the can electrolytics. Maybe a handful of film caps are not original.

Next, I'll take inventory of parts I may need and put in an order.
