Just picked up this RCA Victrola at an auction and I'm hoping to learn more about it or get some help
The good news is that it winds up, the spring motor works, the platter spins at full speed, and I was even able to get it to play a record. The soundbox definitely needs attention because the rubber inside has deteriorated, but it looks like it's going to be a great restoration project.
The problem is I can't find a model number anywhere without taking the motor board apart, and I'd rather avoid disassembling it if possible.
Can anyone identify the model and approximate year from these photos? I'd also appreciate any advice on rebuilding the soundbox, cleaning the rust from the platter, and the best place to buy the correct replacement parts.
Thanks in advance! I'm excited to bring this old machine back to life.
