I found something in the trash. It's a Zenith Stereophonic Phonograph, model LPS 70L-1! (I have no idea what that means!)  It has some knobs on it.  Let's open the back just to see why someone threw it away ... Oh hello old tubes!  I have never owned a tube phonograph before. The tubes in this guy are 1 12AX7 and 2 50C5s. I can get 12AX7 tubes just about anywhere, and the 50C5 tubes can be purchased NOS from tubedepot or thetubestore for $13 a pop. 1 of the 50C5s is not lighting up at all and the 12AX7 is dead as well. I tested that by pulling one of the preamp tubes out of my guitar amp, which lit up just fine. It hums like a motherfucker if I plug it in, no matter what the "Loudness" setting is. I cannot find ANY good info about this phonograph anywhere. I'll spend a few bucks to fix the thing if it's worth more than a door stop. Does anyone have any info at all that may shed some light on this old piece?
