Restoration Project #42 - PE Musical 5V - Part 1
My first ever restoration was my grandfather's old tube radio. I did that one before I made videos, so it isn't anywhere up here, sorry. It does have a "phono" input on the backside and that always fascinated me: how about a record player that fits the time period? And so I scouted all over the net for affordable ones. Mind you, I wanted something to restore and just for fun... so paying three digit amounts plus shipping was out of the question here, otherwise I would have found it way sooner.
Cue last year: a friend in Germany poked me and asked if I would be interested in a lot of old record players that somebody in his neighborhood offered "free for pickup". And one of them fit the bill! So I paid shipping only on this...
...and now follow me on the first part of the two part series to find out just why it was free.
