In this video I repair this General Electric record changer / portable suitcase unit, which came to me with a customer complaint that the mechanism was operating sluggishly / seizing up.

In this part 2 (and probably final video) I get the turntable portion of this console wrapped up (the most involved and problematic part in this specimen) and will be moving on to some basic service of the 8 track player, i.e. clean the "belt goo", the tape path and some very superficial cleaning and relubrication of only the critical / accessible parts of the mechanism. Lastly is some basic servicing of the controls, which are not in bad shape overall. By the way, this is mostly a customer update video, but for those of you interested in the content feel free to come along for the ride as always.

In this video I go over a preliminary evaluation / customer update concerning a Zenith Allegro console unit with a AM FM stereo receiver, record changer (turntable) and 8 track player.
