RCA 45 RPM Record Player Model 45-HY-4 Nicely Restored Sounds Great Nice Cabinet
A beautiful restoration of this vintage RCA 45 RPM record player from around 1954. The 45-HY-4 is one of RCA’s best sounding 45 phonographs. The 4 tube push-pull amplifier with tone control and large 8 inch speaker provide great sound with plenty of volume. With their cool vintage look and fantastic sound these record players have become very popular among collectors and vinyl enthusiasts. Restoration process: Unit was completely disassembled. Is in very good condition, still showing a nice shine. It has not been waxed. No chips or cracks. There are a few minor scratches and blemishes. Completely disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, lubricated, adjusted and tested. All new rubber parts: idler wheel, cycling cam, motor mounts and chassis mounts. Motor disassembled, bearings cleaned and lubricated, rotor shafts polished. Turntable chassis: old paint removed, primed, painted and clear coated. Rebuilt with all new capacitors. Resistors tested and replaced as needed. Tone and volume controls cleaned for static free operation. Original 8 inch speaker is excellent with no tears or holes.
