Brunswick Panatrope/Radiola 3KR6 Help! New to forum

Post by Jschub10 »

Hello My name is Jake I'm a senior in highschool I have a interest in old phonographs and records from the late 1920s into early 30s. I recently got a circa 1929 Brunswick panatrope Radiola model 3KR6. It's in poor shape, the legs were cut down at some point, the tone arm and speaker don't seem to work and there was little reception from the radio. I plugged it in the tuntable did spin and at the right speed that was intell the old cord sparked and broke off. I was wondering how I get a new cord attached to it can I get a cord at a hardware store and rewire it? Any advice and help would be appreciated thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Jake.

Don't power this up until you're sure you know electronics well enough to determine whether the resistors, capacitors, and coils are in proper specs!

Best,
