I will without reservation recommend George Epple [email protected] to rebuild the magnetic pick up. He has a powerful remagnetizing device and all that is needed to replace hardened rubber bits, align parts, etc.

I recently picked up an RCA Victor model V-205, a 1941 radio-phonograph combination. I believe the phonograph has a magnetic pickup (though if anyone suspects otherwise, please let me know!). I haven't bought a machine with a magnetic pickup in years, and the fellow who used to repair/restore them for me has since passed away. Can anyone please recommend someone who works on these? I'd heard tell of such people here and there in the past, but it seemed they were all expensive AND very slow; I'd prefer someone reasonable and quick. Call me spoiled. I'm also wondering what I would have to have and do in order to restoe such a pickup on my own. Any ideas? Thanks!
