i have a silvertone portable phonograph electric and i am missing a tube in the panel, it has three tubes and does anyone have or know of the whereabouts of someone who can sell me tubes for this one or a schematic or tube numbers for this model<P>------------------<BR>

Do you know the model number of the record player?<P>Even without the model number, repairing this probably requires something along the lines of the following:<P>1. Find the label showing which tubes are needed. Tubes are widely available at very low cost (a few dollars each, even for brand new ones).<P>2. Replace paper capacitors and electrolytic capacitors, and possibly the selenium rectifier (replace it with a diode).<P>3. Replace the pickup cartridge. Not so easy to find, but a number of people on here can help find sources.<P>4. Mechanical maintenance, such as replacing the rubber idler wheel with a modern rebuild.<P>Sounds like a lot of steps, but not that bad overall.<P>Check the "Resources" section of this website to find sources of many of these replacement parts.<P>Tom<P>------------------<BR>
