Phonola Record Player!

Post by hammermill21 on Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:21 am

Hi! I have a Phonola record player model 162. I turned it on yesterday for the 1st time in about 3 years and it worked! Only problem is the music is very low so I'm thinking I need a new speaker?! But I have no clue where to get one or how to change it. Can anyone help! I would love to get it working again!

Thanks Very Happy

More likely a weak cartridge.

Hi Bill, I'm not sure what the cartridge is?? Is it something I can change myself? I'm new at this!!

Thank you so much!

The cartridge is under the end of the tone arm. Depending on what cartridge it uses, and, what's still availlable, it should be something you can do. Some of the cartridges can be rebuilt....
