My very sweet wife scored me a vintage Tube HiFi this weekend - a Bell AM/FM receiver + Garard Model 210 turntable in a nice cabinet loaded with a pair of sets of Jensen 3-way speakers.
Outputs are 2 pairs of RCA 6V6GTs and the OTs look to be more in Princeton territory than Deluxe. Photos follow once I cut the sizes down a bit.
Right now I'm evaluating this as a restoration project rather than an MI build. What look like date codes on the 6V6s says 60-48, so this thing is just a few months younger than me. I'm certain the big can caps will need to be replaced, but these Aerovox tubular ones - are they electrolytic, too? The brownish ooze - does that mean they need replacement?
Enzo, could you please point me to a source for styli for that record player?
Thanks everyone!
