I have an old 30/40s console RCA Victrola with phono player in my entry way. It was my grandma's. My mom says an eletrical storm took it out years ago and I remember as a kid that it didn't work. I think my grandma kept it because it is just pretty. Idk

One Christmas I took all the tubes and replaced them with good working new ones. Cheap and easy. I got it to play, but the volume was very very shallow. I did it for my mom. It played long enough to surprise her and she loved it. It even played the old super hard thick records. Shortly after it pretty much doesn't work again. Sometimes I get lucky, but you have to shove your ear next to the speaker to hear it.

This thread is making me want to send it somewhere to be restored. I have the schematics, but I have no idea where to start really.
