    OT question, with a Philco electrostatic: did I blow it?

    Been running a pair of philco electrostatic panels (the semi-cylinders, from the 1959 consoles) as tweeters in a triamped system.

    Needle Replacement for Philco Phonograph

    I, for the life of me, can not figure out for sure what needle I need to purchase for my stereo. I got this console from my grandma and I can with 100% certainty say that the needle has not been changed since the 70s. I have the user manual for the console, but they do not list what needle is...

    Made the Klipschorn upgrade but feel I don't have worthy equipment

    Hello all, I am a proud owner of some 1989 Klipschorns. I have Fortes and used to have La Scala Industrial. I love the Forte, wasn't as enthusiastic about the La Scala but they were bone stock with original 1988 crossovers. Forte I recapped but haven't gotten around to changing to Crites...

    PHILCO console question....

    Officially have the tube bug BAD! I have a chance to pick up this PHILCO console for nothing. Literally just have to go get it.

    Needle for 1964 Philco Console turntable?

    Would anyone have an idea where I could look to find out what needle I'd use in a 1964 console Philco turntable? There was not one in it when I obtained the piece. There is a marking on the thingy that holds the needle, but I haven't found anything at all that corresponds to that number. Any...

    Philco 47-1230 - Schematic Help?
