Philco Record Changer Issues
#1

I just got a suitcase Philco record player with what I think is the M26, three speed changer in it. Amp is all rebuilt and it currently works on 78 and 45, but the 33 rpm belt is gone and so is the 45 spindle. Also the knobs were gone for some odd reason. The biggest issue is that it picks up way too soon before the end of the record. My friend who worked on it couldn't figure out how to adjust it. It changes records fine and sets down just fine. One more question: did these use a sodium or crystal pickup? Mine works so far. It is a model D-1344.

Edit: Moved this here as I think this is the better spot for this.

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
