Hi all,

I have been trying to make some progress recently in restoring my RCA Victor RP168 record changer. All of my searches seemed to lead me here. Upon taking apart the turntable assembly, I discovered that the separator knives at one time look as though they were welded back together. One of these knives, however, was sheared off again and is not remotely functional. A search yielded no results this time and I am wondering if it is either possible to reattach the knife to the cam or find some replacement pieces somewhere. Thanks for your expert advice!

Joe

Probably your best bet would be to by a scrap changer and get the parts from that.
Looking at the parts you show, they seem too far gone to repair.

Here is a photo of 2 record separators that I sold to another member, a while back. I have 2 more of the same, that I would sell for $8.50 each, plus shipping.

Brian,
If Joe doesn't take both of those separators I could use one. Please let me know.

Thanks. Scotty.

Exactly what I was hoping to find!

Thanks Brian, I've sent you a PM.
