Hi everyone! I just purchased this beautiful cabinet this past weekend and would love to restore it to perfect working condition...it's a wonderful piece of history that I would love to enjoy for many years to come...
It is a Magnavox and the model # is PD6808. I have attempted to do a search for any information on this model online, and was unsuccessful. I also did an extensive search of images for Magnavox and did not find any cabinet that resembles mine. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I need to get a replacement needle/stylus for the Micromatic record player (it powers up just fine, and everything seems to be in great working order - just no needle). The model # is W821-13-00
The right speaker did not work at all when I got it home. It appears that it is a wiring issue...last night, the wire that comes from the foam encased right speaker was disconnected from the internal right speaker connection and reattached to the external speaker connections on the rear of the cabinet and the speaker works! So, the wires (well, 3 to be exact) have been temporarily connected to the same connections that the left speaker is connected to...so, now when the "balance" knob on the tuner is moved to the right speaker, nothing plays...but when it's to the left or in the middle, both speakers play okay...so, what would be a good next step to fix it so that it's correctly hooked up?
Here is the connection that the right speaker wires were connected to when I got it home
Here is the new set-up (the right speaker wires and the left speaker wires are on the same connectors - temporarily)
There is an 8 track player on the left side of the cabinet, but I need to find an 8 track to test it to see if it works.
I am truly a beginner, so any help/information would be fantastic! I am a very quick learner and follow direction VERY well!
Thanks so much!
