    Vm 1297 tonearm jumping

    Hello. This is my 1st attempt to restore one of these turntables. Ive disassembled it and lubed it but during cycle this finger on the 10" sensor snags on the locator. Does anyone know the correct orientation of this finger? I assume its just bent or something. Thank you.

    Zenith tube amp

    I just finished recapping a zenith tube amp. The radio functions work great but the turntable functions are not usable with any modern turntable due to outdated input types. How would I go about putting in RCA inputs in?
