[Jukebox-list] 1650 crazy smell?

[etreble7]

Hey Dennis,
thanks for the advice, I am going to pull them off today and I do have 
Simple Green...actually I love that smell!

The Telefunken Radio is awesome.  The tubes were replaced and the speakers 
were re-wired (the owner did some re-routing and a butcher job at best) but 
I am having issues with the record changer.  I think the issue is in the 
cartridge.  I need a cermanic one and just have to get on the internet and 
find it.  Seems these Vintage items take alot of time to enjoy?  Thanks so 
much for asking, it's got beautiful sound. I most enjoy the vintage radio 
shows on Sunday evening.  My husband and I laughed till we cried this past 
week listening to Abbott & Costello's "Who's on First", being it was the 
opening of Baseball Season.  How many years later and it's still a hoot! 
Enjoy your day,
Jackie
