Anyone in/around Idaho repair tube turntables?

[rockbillboa]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to get an old suitcase tube turntable repaired. It's a GE RP1170A, from around 1962-65 I believe. Had it working last time I pulled it out about 5 years ago, but (if I remember correctly) one speaker was not working and the other was very quiet. Finally getting around to looking into repair but of course it's difficult to find anyone.

I'm in Boise, Idaho. I might be able to drive a decent ways for a repair, I just need to figure out what my options are.

Thanks and cheers!

Precision Electronics in Twin Falls may be able to help you. They've fixed a lot of my equipment.

Tube turntable? never heard of such a thing. Tube record player, yes, have a couple here. Have someone local check tubes if you can find, good first start. Also, filter caps likely bad. Look under second sticky post in this forum, may be someone to lend a hand.

Ahh yeah I'm not super knowledgeable on these things so I've tended to use them interchangeably, my mistake. Thanks for your advice! Been super busy but I'll start looking around for someone to take a look at those things soon
