philco 48-1253

[vintageguy]

Good luck on your 48-1253. I just restored my mother's 48-1253 and it turned out great...left that choke in place with no problems. Just a recap and new output tube, were all that was required. Wondering how your record changer is working? Mine tends to pull the tonearm across the record surface just a fraction too soon...that is, before the needle clears the record surface, completely. I therefore get a slight rip (no damage to record), about 50% of the time. Have you had a similar issue?
