Zenith 10-S-669 for 20 dollars
#8

My 10S669 sits in the living room as my current primary house player (and also as the wallpaper on my smartphone). Be prepared to replace some (maybe lots of) rubber coated wiring on the chassis. Mine needed 27 new wires plus the entire Radiorgan cable needed to be replaced for a total of 35 wires. Also be careful removing the bandswitch knob as the cast metal linkage is unobtanium. Notice mine has a different pointer. Zenith used two different pointers over the production run of this model for some reason. Mine's plastic and I believe yours is metal? Great player when done so it's worth the extra (PITA) work. Icon_thumbup

Here's the grille cloth I put in mine, not exact but close.

As far as the belt goes, take note there is a rubber insert that the belt rides on and they are almost always dry-rotted. I built up the shaft with tape as a replacement. You can see in the photo where that piece of rubber had worked it's way out from under the belt. The belt you see is the primary belt. There is a second belt that connects the upper pully to the tuning shaft and that's usually the one that breaks.
