I have a 41-608. And yes, Ron did restore this one (chassis wise), and yes it still plays just fine, thanks to him. Now my question is I have the original turntable, but of course the tone arm is long gone. I bet you guys saw the one on the big auction house go for $177 !!!!! recently. What was the common retrofit, as it would appear I will not be able to:
A: find one
B :afford the ridiculous prices I have seen for these
I had read about the fact the tonearm was not that reliable, and it was common in the late 40's to swap it out.
Thank you All
Mike
