Circa '49 Webster-Chicago model 362
 

Here's a circa '49 Webster-Chicago 3-speed record player that I recently bought from another ARF member. The case is in nice shape and the amp works, even though I'll probably still recap it. The changer plays 33, 45, and 78 rpm records and will need the usual overhaul. The amp uses 3 octal tubes (12SJ7, 50L6, and 35Z5). This player was probably among the first consumer grade 3-speed units. Was there ever an automatic 45 rpm adapter for these changers or will I have to use the yellow snap in adapters?

As far as i know, this changer never had a 45 rpm adaptor.

Wow I would love to find a source for 12SJ7 tubes! My old Ampex 400A uses several.

That is a nice one, and the oldest non-projector combo webcor phonos I've seen yet.

There is a thread on webcor equip here if your intersted in some of the other electronics they made. http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=251371
