Vintage broadcast turntables

[CardinalFJ60]

Any into restoring old broadcast turntables?

I Just got a couple Collins turntables that need a bit of TLC and a couple Russcos that are nice. I couldn’t find much online for parts and then. kinda wonder if there’s much of a market for them.

you looking for parts or to get rid of them?

Maybe a lttle both? Not sure what I want to do with them yet. So if someone was like oh man! I’ve been looking for some. I’d would be great to get the into a house that could appreciate a use them.

Russco Cue Master and Collins 200!

People actual do restore them for the sake of restoring them, but other use these broadcast 'tables for their motor and platter, sometimes even the plinth or the whole console, with a better arm. They are beasts - instantly up to speed and in a pinch you could probably use the motor from one for your truck winch.
