Question
QUESTION: I have a telex, model#txc82040 fp. It has a record player,8track player, am-fm radio. I need to know if there is a place that can work on this. It just needs the turntable fixed.Please let me know if you can help find some information on this,ok. Thanks, Betty

ANSWER: I'm sure there are plenty of places, but I don't know where you are.  There are fewer places that will work on this older equipment.  For starters, the turntable section will require either a new belt or a new rubber drive wheel.  If a wheel is required, there are only a few that are still available.  Also, most of the grease inside will nned to be removed and the unit will require a re-lube.  Expect a bill in the range of $10-$20 for the replacement rubber parts plus the local labor rate for the repair.

QUESTION: The turntable part I was referring to is the record arm and the cartilage where the needle goes,ok. Do you have any information on this? I appreciate you help. Thanks, Betty

Answer
The arm movement is controlled by gearing and levers under the platter.  The grease I referred to will effect this operation.  There should be some numbers or letters on the cartridge +/or the needle.  With that info, I should be able to point you to some suppliers for those parts.
