| Brand: Russco | Model: Unknown |
This is a vintage 3 Speed, broadcast Russco turntable. I do not know the specific model, but someone informed me it is the Cue Master model, but I am not 100% certain. I am not the original owner and obtained this unit with a large lot of vintage gear. I was informed it was removed from a radio station. That is the extent of my knowledge about the history of this unit.Cabinet base is NOT included. You will need to build a base or mount this in a table/counter top. It CANNOT stand ...by itself as seen in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th photos. The top measures 15 1/2" x 15 1/2"
It has a Micro Trak 303 Wood Tonearm and Stanton cartridge with broken stylus. It needs servicing and a stylus and/or cartridge to be 100% functional.Test results:I did not check the audio output as the needle is broken off the cartridge
The unit powers on & off via the top mounted paddle switch and the red indicator lights up
All three speeds work, but since there is no strobe I could not verify the speed(s) for accuracyThe unit needs to be rewiredThe AC line cord needs to be replaced as it has many pinch marks
The RCA output cable needs to be replaced, the ends and stain reliefs are worn
The cable from the cartridge need to be re-wired
In general, the crimp connectors and terminal block underneath the unit should be properly cleaned up: electrical tape removed, wires soldered and properly shrink-wrapped in my opinionI would prefer the turntable to be picked up locally, but if it needs to be shipped, I plan to:Removed the tone arm and holder (4 screws). One of the 4 wires is already broken, so I will carefully cut/disconnect the other wires.Remove the motor (it appears to be mounted using 3 screws) and disconnect the wires. If you want the motor left in place and not removed, please contact me immediately after winning the auction
The tonearm and motor will be packed separately and the platter will be secured for shipment.
The entire turntable will be packed well for shipment, with plenty of protective material in a study shipping box. The unit is heavy and the shipping box is large, so shipping is a bit expensive. A signature will be required for delivery.
Local pick up is available most nights and weekends in Temecula, Southern CaliforniaAuction includes:Russco turntable as shown (NOT working - needs servicing)
