    Finally a tube amp!!

    Going to stick to a 2 tube 6GH8A type board upgrade and I think the selenium rectifier replace/upgrade kit.. this amp is going to be used to drive my altec HF horns, they don't need much power so this amp will not be working very hard, maybe replace the RCA input jacks with new and add binding...

    RCA 45 J

    Yes these were built as cheap as possible so they could sell them cheap, RCA wanted to flood the market with them so they did not make a whole lot of money on them. The money they were after were 45 rpm record sales. Like a printer or a razor, they sell the printer or razor cheap they make their...

    Tube Amp

    Thinking of getting a tube amp to drive my Altec HF horns. Right now I am driving them with a Crown D45 amp. The horns do not need a lot of power to drive them 25W is sufficient. I really don't want to spend over $500 for one. Looking at maybe one of these Reisong good looking little sucker. or...

    lol I have totally disassembled many of these including this one.... doing those 45 players led me into doing jukeboxes right now looks like I have to make a minor adjustment on this one but to get to it I am going to have to pull the carriage off (thats the rack that holds all the records)

    RCA 45 J

    You will need the rubber motor mounts as well they come in that kit yours will be shot and are critical for the idler wheel to run on the platter most I have seen the rubber mounts have completely deteriorated.... also you will want to check the wires coming out of the transformer many times the...

    RCA 45 J

    I found the Pfanstiehl P-188D works real well with these players they are stereo and can be used to convert but for the players with built in amp and speaker they are mono so simply add a jumper wire to make these mono

    RCA 45 J

    Back when I was doing these part were hard to find or non existent so had to figure work arounds but now there are many reproduction parts available. That mech to me looks like an RP 168 it is the same as my J the only difference I see is the reject button... I ordered a kit, it has everything...

I am going to convert it...
