UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS TUBE TYPE NEWCOMB AV1612 SCHOOL RECORD PLAYER. THIS DATES FROM THE '60'S; AND, WAS BUILT LIKE A TANK. IT COMPARES TO CALIFONE, AUDIOTRONICS, AND HAMILTON MODELS. THIS IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. I HAVE OUTLINED ITS FEATURES AND REPAIR DETAILS BELOW.
FEATURES:
1. TUBE AMP CONSTRUCTED ON METAL CHASSIS WITH HEAVY DUTY OUTPUT AND POWER TRANSFORMERS. HAS AN AMPEREX BUGLE BOY 6BQ5 / EL84 OUTPUT.
2. WILL PLAY UP TO 16 INCH RADIO TRANSCRIPTION DISC. THESE DISC WERE USED BY RADIO STATIONS UP UNTIL THE '60'S FOR PLAYBACK OF RADIO PROGRAMS. THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY THESE IS TO FIND AN OLD BROADCAST TURNTABLE (OFTEN VERY EXPENSIVE) WITH THE 16" PLATTER OR FIND ONE OF THESE SELF CONTAINED PORTABLES. OF COURSE, YOU CAN PLAY ANY OTHER TYPE OF RECORD (STEREO OR MONO) ON THIS PLAYER.
3. FOUR SPEEDS OF 16 RPM, 33 RPM, 45 RPM, AND 78 RPM.
4. 10" METAL TURNTABLE WITH RUBBER PAD AND SPRING LOADED 45 RPM RECORD ADAPTER.
5. FLIP OVER ASTATIC 89T CERAMIC CARTRIDGE. THESE ARE STILL COMMON AND CHEAP. USE THE LP SIDE TO PLAY STANDARD 16, 33, AND 45 RPM RECORDS. USE THE 78 SIDE TO PLAY 78'S AND 16" TRANSCRIPTIONS (USUALLY 33 RPM)
6. SEPERATE BASS, TREBLE, PHONO VOLUME, MIC VOLUME, SCRATCH FILTER SWITCH, AND VOICE FILTER SWITCH.
7. 1/4" MIC JACK, 1/4" AUX INPUT JACK (DISABLES PHONO PICKUP WHEN IN USE), AND RCA STYLE PHONO PICKUP OUTPUT. THIS WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR COPYING RECORDS OR CONNECTING THE TURNTABLE TO ANOTHER AMP.
8. SEPERATE MOTOR AND AMP POWER SWITCHES. MOTOR SWITCH DISENGAGES IDLER WHEEL TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHEN TURNED OFF.
9. 12" NEWCOMB SPEAKER IN SEPERATE CABINET. IN GOOD CONDITION.
10. SPRING LOADED FEET TO HELP PREVENT RECORD SKIPPING.
REPAIR DETAILS:
1. DRIVE MECHANSIM CLEANED AND LUBRICATED. IDLER WHEEL IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO FLAT SPOT.
2. REPLACED DEFECTIVE POWER SUPPLY FILTER CAPACITOR.
3. CLEANED ALL SWITCHES AND CONTROLS; AS WELL AS THE TUBE SOCKETS.
THE TUBES AND FUSE CAN EASILY BE SERVICED BY REMOVING TWO SCREWS FROM THE TOP DECK AND SWINGING THE MOTORBOARD UP. IT HAS A LATCH TO HOLD IT UP UNTIL SERVICE IS COMPLETE. AS A SIDE NOTE; THERE IS A WAY TO USE THIS AS A STEREO PLAYER. CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE TO AN ASTATIC 13T, PLUG A CABLE INTO THE STEREO OUTPUT JACK, CONNECT THE OTHER END OF THE CABLE TO ANOTHER AMP. BUT, WHO'S GOING TO THAT MUCH TROUBLE, ANYWAY? JUST THOUGHT I'D MENTION IT. THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.
