Beautifully restored RCA 6JY1A 45rpm record player-looks fabulous, plays great!

Description

You'll love owning this beautifully restored RCA 45 rpm record player attachment manufactured in December of 1956. This relatively rare model was an updated styling of the venerable 45-J-2 which was first introduced in 1950. The machine was designed to play through a radio, television or an amplifier. It plugs into your modern stereo receiver through the auxiliary input (not the phono input). It does not have its own amplifier.
The distinctive black Bakelite base has no chips or breaks or cracks and has been polished and buffed to a nice sheen. See detail in photos.
The motor board was completely disassembled, sand-blasted to remove any minor rust or blemishes and then repainted in several coats of Champagne Silver metallic finish followed by clear coat. The paint has been protected with carnauba wax and buffed and polished
.
The motor has been completely disassembled, cleaned and the bearings lubricated to RCA specs. New rubber motor mounts have been installed.
The turntable spindle has been disassembled, cleaned and the bearings lubricated for reliable record changing. The spindle cap is Ivory in color instead of the previous model in red.
Idle wheel has been rebuilt with new rubber by V-M Audio Enthusiasts for accurate speed and smooth operation.
Rubber on the change cam wheel has been reconditioned.
All internal parts have been cleaned and lubricated where necessary.
Tone arm has been polished and buffed and a new modern cartridge bridged for mono, with 0.7mil diamond needle has been installed to play your newer stereo records (in mono) as well as your oldie 45s without damage. Again, the tone arm is Ivory in color, an aesthetic improvement on the traditional black tone arm. Tone arm weight has been optimized for accurate tracking yet gentle treatment of your valuable 45 records. The famous RCA "Nipper" emblem is part of the new styling on the tone arm.
An adapter for hooking the mono plug to both channels of your stereo is included.
The original AC power cord is in fine shape
As the new owner of this nostalgic gem, I know you'll enjoy putting on a stack of up to fifteen 45rpm records
and listening to them through your stereo. I find that boosting the bass and lowering the treble controls results in a very pleasant sound while masking any scratches that may be present on those old records. As others have noted, you may occasionally find a record that doesn't drop to the platter properly, but I've included instructions on how to remedy this problem. Rest assured this machine will be carefully cushioned and packed with care to arrive in splendid condition.
