Philco Stereophonic Model L1561 Help??
#4

Hi and Welcome to the Phourm!!
If your motor is turning (when the power is on to the turntable) you should be in good shape. If not check to see if it is plugged in (the motor not the set it self) If it is then try to spin the motor shaft by hand. If it feels like it wants to work but doesn't you'll need to clean and lub the motor bearing with a little bit of light oil like 30wt mtr oil. The other two things that come to mind are the idler wheel (that rubber wheel) You can clean it with a little rubbing alcohol and then rough it up a bit with some sandpaper just a little to clean off the glaze on it. Add a drop of oil to it's shaft. Attached to the bracket that the idler wheel is on there is a spring it controls the tension that the wheel has on the plater. Make sure it has some tension so the wheel is pressing on the inside rim of the plater.
One other thing that usually is bad is the phono cartridge You can test it by setting up the set for phono operation and then gently rubbing the needle. If good will make a scratching noise in the speakers.
I took a look for some info on it and couldn't find much. It was made it 1964.
