Newcomb R16 transcription player from 1953

[radiotvnut]

Here's a Newcomb model R16 transcription player from 1953 and will play records up to 16". This is their baby model in their series of transcription players; but, is still a decent, well made unit. It uses a 5W amp, 10" speaker, a standard 2-pole motor, and does not have a pitch control. The cartridge is the old crystal type that looks to be a later replacement and it still has output. The drive wheel and turrets still appear to be in good shape; so, this one should be an easy restoration. Even though the cartridge still has output, I'll replace it with a modern stereo cartridge.
