Found this at an estate sale. Wife said hey theres a tt in the garage and its marked Free. I grabed it and asked if it was marked correctly and the lady said yup. Free!
Yours looks as if it needs a lot of cleaning up. You'll need to replace all of the hardened grease in order to free up the mechanism and linkages so they can work as intended It's a lovely table — I have a 40A and use it for LPs and 78s (I have a Stanton 500 cartridge with interchangeable styli). Have at it!
Well it runs. Ive spent last couple days downloading everthing i can find. I will be going thru the mechanics of it soon. I wish i could find a 40 ID badge. Maybe 1 will come up.
The tonearm will not stay down, even without the counter balance so i havent tried sound yet.
Spent some hours on all the linkage. Fired it up and it works! Now for the cleaning and fine tuning the arm. Will need to change the audio cables and it needs a needle.
Also needs elac 40 badge

Looks like my dad's 10H but with a better tone arm.
Tell you what, I've already got too many turntables but I'd have grabbed it for free, too. Filthy neglected old changers like that, who could resist?
