Thanks! I always enjoy watching people working on vintage stuff. I have worked on turntables and motors too. I was really good at taking them apart as a kid. Not good at putting it back together. But they were junk so it didn't matter. Recently, I took apart an electric can opener, cleaned and lubed the gears and motor. Really quieted it down. I tighten the motor screws while it's running. Maybe a bad idea, but it works.
Always liked the Newcombs with separate bass and treb controls and springy feet. We had them in school back in the early 70’s and I was always surprised at how great they sounded with that 6x9 speaker up front. We also had some older ones with tube amps in ‘em.
1st Those Newcome record players were the coolest ones out there. If I ever happen to repair any kind of record players I would first take a picture of any parts before removing it and that way It would help me remember where the parts go as a beginner. I used to repair Walkmans but turntables will be a big challenge. Cheers Phononut 👍
I had an older model Newcomb I bought at a flea market in 2007. I had it until last year. Ended up giving it away. That thing was a workhorse for me...very dependable. Mine was from 1973, and had the metal tonearm you talked about.
@@ronalddaub5049 I have a shop full of Leslies, B3's, C3's and A100's. None of them have a motor 5x as large. Perhaps you are thinking of the tone generator motors on L100's, E100's, T100's, etc.
RTPN PhonoLube coming to a WalMart near you soon! Diggin' the retro jams. Someone on Ebay will be getting a nice record player shortly! I smell 💲 on this retro gem !!!
If anyone has NOS Phonolube in stock, Moyer Electronics would be the best bet. Shooting the bull with Bill is always fun, and I've always thought their pricing to be reasonable. Nye Rheolube 362 would be the best possible lubricant for most electromechanical items, but is is far too expensive - for use in most non-industrial service shops. Until recently, I maintained FAA Repair Station status for Bendix/King VHF and HF radios and General Aviation Transponders. Loctite Super Lube, a PTFE - based lubricant, is listed as being "COTS" for their mechanical detent components, and Loctite is known for quality.
Hello RTPN! Thanks for the very informative videos. Quite some time back, you did a video of a Newcomb TR 16 turntable/PA system. Do you still have it? If so, would you mind going through how to overhaul that model? I think it uses a General Industries mechanism, but it is of an earlier vintage. It is also variable speed and the type I am thinking of uses a couple of ganged rheostats to vary the speed, not the magnetic system used later. I would like to know how to clean and lubricate that type of motor. I have one of the 16-watt models and a couple of the 25-watt models from the same vintage. Thanks so much and happy new year!
I have a model similar to this that I've used for years but it recently started having a problem with the power supply. That is, it won't always come on. But sometimes giving it a little tap will make it come on. But what could cause this issue? I'm pretty sure the power supply in these were usually mechanical. Is it usually an easy fix?
I have a very similar Newcomb, EDT-20B, of the same vintage. Your brake on yours works very well but mine does not even after I replaced the cork. Is there a way to adjust the brake mechanism? Love your videos BTW.

Both Shango066 and Radiotvphononut videos in one day and no airplanes in ether one, it must be a sad day in aviation.
I'm 7 years old when this set came out !!

Got a chuckle from the "parts unknown" warning when removing the spring. This is one of my dream turntables, thanks for the video.
I can't keep track of the number of springs I've launched, never to be found (at least in a timely fashion).

Good one mi Phononut 👍👍👍👍👍
Long ago, I toured the Newcomb factory in Sylmar, CA and met Nr. Newcomb.
Very informative video on restoring a phonograph from the 60's.
What a great record player
that would fit in anyone's collection..very nice player

I like the Newcombe school Phonos as they had a better tone to them than some of the others.
Nice job on the GI drive motor. My GE Wildcat also has a General Industries drive motor as well and I will do the same for the Wildcat.
That drive motor looks very close to the ones used for a slow motor in Leslie speakers. So now I know they were made by General Industries.
Hammond used a large Cabot motor. 5x as large

Sounds good for a school record player

This is the exact player I have but it runs at 34.2 how do I slow it down a little? I’m so desperate! Thanks!
Who is singing that song”o Danny boy”please. Thank you.

ready for rap scratchin'
I've always wanted to buy one of these however, the ones listed on Ebay are either junk, or too expensive.
Haaaaay-ho........sheeeeeeeeeeeeee-it.....LMBO!!!!
Hahahaha
Chipmunks mumble rap 😂 (15:06)
Just out of curiosity, why do you service so many classroom players? Do people hire you to fix them, or do you grab them and sell them later?
Well, my plan was to keep them all; but, I don't have the room. So, I've been selling some of them.
@@radiotvphononut Cool! I really dig these old turntables, especially the changers.
Is that one solid state or tube.
Solid state.
15:10 & 15:18 LMAO!!!🤣
It sounds best on 16
Detents.
Play a little Merle Haggard
Anything is better than mumble crap! 😎👍
No Matter what speed you play that LP, it still sounds like sh!t..
It only sound shit on CD
Detents.
