Quite a few special-needs cases in right now including a couple German units. This #Admiral Ensign DeLuxe got the "not worth fixing" designation from a stereo shop.

Just starting to get gummy, so a good thing it came in for its 60 year service. We replaced the cartridge with a #Tetrad and a new wiring harness. See the pho
