Smile Re: *Loft find* argosy record player restoration or scrap?

Hi,
A point to bear in mind with that BSR deck (a UA8) is that the two knobs are made from thin plastic and are very fragile. If they feel stiff to turn, DO NOT force them round, they will break and are virtually unreplaceable. The spindles they are fitted to are prone to seizing up, especially if it's been stored in damp conditions.
Cheers, Pete.
