Phonola Record Player! Empty Phonola Record Player!

Post by hammermill21 Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:21 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.

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....
