I can't wait to get into it and make this console, sing!(Downside is the needle cartrige was listed at $113.xx on a vintage record player webiste, claiming these are rare.(Ouch!) Hope the needle I have isn't too bad! I can replace all of the resistors and replace the old paper caps with the newer mylar for under $30. The tubes vary in price(Average between $6-25, $25 being the highest, and only one needed at that cost. Like I mentioned, this isn't my ideal console set to own, but for the price and condition, I really couldn't pass it up.(Plus it will give me some practice and knowledge restoring the electronics as I go!) Slacks, HAHAHAHA!...glad you pointed that out. It could gotten ugly real fast, had I been in shorts, or less... :lol:
