Strange Philco Phonogragh?
12/3/1997 4:54:39 PMDave Goncalves
Hello.

I found a Philco record player in my local antique shop, bought it for the tubes and I brought it home, took a look-see, and found that it had no output. I also found a coil that I have not seen
in a phono amp that I have.

It's a Model 42RP2, Code 121.

Any ideas on this?

I do know that in 1940 Philco produced a record player that was magnetically coupled to
one of its consoles ... they also produced a TV set that did this ... I believe (not completely sure) that you have
the 1942 model ... two things that you can do: 1) from Antique Electronics Supply (www.tubesandmore.com)
can purchase a AM "Wireless Transmitter Kit" Part # K-488 for $30 plus shipping OR
2) If you do not want to go through this construction, if your record unit is in decent shape
I would be interested in purchasing it for the price that you paid plus shipping ...
P.S. I have purchased tubes from Antique .. and find the prices quite reasonable

I don't know if you have already received this information but the 42-RP2
record player has a built-in low power transmitter. You tune your radio to
approximately 540 kc. It should work up to 50 feet from the radio

I am working on a code 121 Philco combo raidio/phono in a small table design model 53-1750. I am lookin for mechanical info on the phono because I think there are some parts missing. The body is silver/green with a dark green turn table and tone arm. does this sound like your machine?? Kevin

I've come to a Philco radio/pnonogragh. It has AM &FM
that works well and the phonograph plays 78's.
Anyone interested, you have my E-Mail address.

This is a wireless phono with a built-in low power transmitter. It broadcasts up to 50 feet from you receiver on a frequency of 540 kc. Thats the reason for the coil in the circuit. You may also have

noticed a wire routed around the inside of the cabinet for an antenna. I have one of these also but the crystal cartridge needs to be rebuilt.

Best regards,

: Hello.

why you don't have other remote control to sell in the case of breaking the original?
the tv is without use because remote control doesn't exist to restore in case it breaks the original
please...we need the tv and no have remote controls
what can I do?
: Any ideas on this?
