Did you watch the videos I attached above? I read earlier about how the sound could be due to bad capacitors, but I just want to make sure! Also, does that mean that someone switched out the turntable? Could that be causing me issues as well? Thanks!

Cleaning it out So i grabbed the cleaner and sprayed out my pots, but i’m having trouble figuring out how to lubricate the turntable. All the videos i’ve found have shown the turntable popping off quite easy and I can’t even remotely figure mine out. Any suggestions ...

So i plan on running out today to get the electronics cleaner, precision oiler, and some rubbing alcohol, that i could’ve sworn i had at my house. I was looking at the photo fact and it has a huge list of capacitors. How would i know what to replace?

Here are some pictures I took of it tonight! I believe the speakers are blown because there’s sound coming out but extremely dull and crackled. The turntable did start spinning, the needle picked up, but then it stopped and went right back down. Shortage maybe? Motor? I am not sure. I’ve...

Thank you so much for your input! I love the uniqueness of this one, and not just the ornate, large ones you see so often. Any chance you know the year?!

I recently acquired a General Electric Stereo Console, and I'm unsure of year or model number for it. I saw that there was a fan of these in past threads and was hoping someone could help me out. It turns on, the radio works but the speakers are about mute. The turntable sounds like its going...
