some parts for it. Anyone have any idea where I might look (besides
Ebay!)?
Many thanks.

Hello,
If you need electrical parts, a general service supplier like MCM
electronics (www.mcmelectronics.com) is a good source. They might have
some belts and stylus (needles) as well.
If the unit is a tube type, then Antiques Electronics Supply
(www.tubesandmore.com) is a good choice.
Mechanical parts will be tougher.

Tim,
This is just the player--no amp or anything electrical beyond the motor
and cartridge. Unfortunately, my need is for mechanical parts--the
plastic top mechanism for the spindle, and probably some idlers and
other drive parts. I'm sure they're WAY dried out by now.
I did look on Ebay, and there are several for sale. Even saw a supplier
with after-market cartridges to upgrade one's old player. May have to
resort to buying another one, provided it's working.
Thanks for the info.
Regards,
Lakeside
