I need to do some work on the RCA Victor 45-EY-3  45rpm 'desktop jukebox' record player that I highlighted in my 2017 video about the 45rpm record, and I talk about the value of played-to-death thrift shop records.  Enjoy!

That cartridge with paraffin wax was an eye opener!

Thanx Fran, I love this stuff. In the '60s as I remember I had a record player mounted in my car. Somewhat like a jukebox carriage I believe Didn't skip much on a decent road. Solid chrome, mounted under the dash.

2021-10-11 18:16:10 As someone who repaired vacuum tube TV's in my teens in the 70s, it's fascinating to revisit the old-style circuitry - HT & LT derived directly form the mains (and presumably a 50/50 chance of the chassis being live at mains potential! In the 70, this seemed to be largely abandoned in favor of transformers and properly earthed chassis. And now, it's all going full circle. LED lighting, cheap appliances in plastic housings all connected directly to the mains or via capacitive droppers and linear power-supply regulators a distant memory. Love the vintage restoration vids - keep 'em coming

Loved it, Fran! I was born in 1954 and cut my teeth on tinkering with pre and early hi-fi record mechanisms. (I made my first mix tapes at age 4 on a wire recorder!) So nostalgic for me watching you do this. I long ago noticed the lack of inner-neck thickness on 45's, as I used changers well into the 70's. Standardization was a coming thing then, and the concept taught me a lot as a hobby engineer. Sweet that you are always nosing old mechanisms. Keep this up!
