My daughter wanted an old-school record player for her birthday next weekend, so I found this radio/record player in decent condition at the flea market the other day. It's black plastic with a cool gold grill, straight out of 1954. It was working, but just barely. So I re-capped it and got new belts for the record changer, and cleaned a half century worth of tobacco smoke grime out of it.

The radio works very well without any alignment, however the record player has super low volume and skips. I don't know much about phonographs. I'm not even sure if this thing can play modern records, which is what my daughter wants it for. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this work without destroying her vinyl LP collection?

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
