[Phono-L] Credenza help
Bob, Here's a Credenza motor on e-bay: Item # 6515391373 Seller has less than stellar feedback score, but you be the judge.

Finding a motor should not be to difficult. The horn is another matter. I don't think the size found in a Credenza was used in any other models, so your only way to get one is out of a junker Credenza. Two different tone arm styles were used, one with a back mount and one without. Both were used in other orthophonic machines but must be gold plated models so most that will work are in high end models. Unless the cabinet on your friends machine is really good and has a good grill and grill cloth I would think twice about taking it.

The guy who is giving it to me has three, one original that he built from parts of the other two; one that he has placed an electrical amplifier and turntable into, and the empty one with the four spring motor which he is giving me. Another friend has a couple of them, and is always looking for them, so I may be able to get a junker cabinet thru him.. Dan Kj ediso...@verizon.net wrote:Gosh, free is free! TAKE IT! You can always sell it for a couple of bucks, or use it for storage. I got my Credenza for $25 (almost free) because it was junk - all it needed was a new bracket for the tonearm. You might find a horn, but even if you don't, you'll have a nice cabinet. You could set a TV in there. hehe From: john robles Hi All A friend has offered me a free Credenza cabinet with motor but no horn. How tough should it be to get a Credenza horn?

That's the down side to ebay. I almost bid on it, but my friend said he had a 4 spring Credenza motor. That made me wonder, so I asked the board, and found out it should have 4 springs. People are probably misled by the uneducated or those who are just trying to rip you off on eBay all the time. john Thomas Jordan tom...@msn.com wrote: Sorry. I've never seen one in person.
