Default Re: Tellux Record Player (no model no.) - request for help

Just re-reading your first post, I think that the resistor that's getting hot is probably a 'wire wound' type between the rectifier valve and the first capacitor in the can, so there may not be anything wrong, but I would always advise checking the can of the main electrolytic capacitor for warming on any piece of kit that's been out of use for a long time.

As said, the X5H is a 'high output' type of cartridge that's only usually found in these single valve with rectifier type amplifiers. High output stereo, and stereo compatible mono cartridges, are now unobtainable, so if faulty, you may need to attempt to repair the one you have.
