1963/4 RCA Victor Stereo Console Model 4 VF 289 restoration

New Project to steal away what little time I have!

1963/4 RCA Victor Stereo Console   Model 4 VF 289
Acquired at an antique store/estate sale in Lake land for $30





Goals
1. Restoration
     - Tube Amplifier
     - RCA Studomatic RP218 Turn Table
     - FM/AM Radio
     - The Cabinet


 After clean up (dusting, disinfecting and de-roaching,...lol)





OK, let's take a look at the tube amplifier


I will need to replace all those 50+ year old capacitors before I attempted to plug this thing in! I downloaded the schematic from radiomuseum.org   and order a bunch of replacement capacitors 



Bad  Caps!  

New Caps in place!
