Hi everyone, my name is Jeremy and I'm a newbie, getting my hands dirty attempting to restore a 40-180 and a 42-1009PW. The 42-1009PW has a radio and speaker that are in surprisingly good shape, although it needs to be cleaned and re-capped. However, the BOL turntable was replaced long ago with some awful contraption that makes me want to cry! So, I have a couple of questions...

- What are my chances of getting my hands on a 42 BOL turntable? Are there many of them knocking about???
- If not, are there any repro items out there that would work?
- Failing that, are there any other Philco turntables that are likely to fit into the console?

I'd love to get this thing up and running properly, and any/all hints and tips are greatly appreciated!
