Identify record player and valve

[macben4]

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me identify this record player that was given to me or send me in the right direction. The player is in a bakelite (brown) case with all badges etc. missing. The cartridge is an English BSR, but I'm unsure if it's a BSR table. The 7 pin mini tube is missing with no schematic or id of what a replacement would be. The speaker is labelled manafactured by 'EMI' Sydney, Australia. I have attached pics to help.

Thanks guys,
Shawn

The most likely valve would be a 6AQ5 and the turntable might be a "Monarch" if not a B.S.R. unit

Beyond question, that unit employs a crystal cartridge whose O/P is several volts. A HIGH tracking force is necessary. I would not play anything on that device, except 78 RPM disks of little or no value.

The stack of fins is a selenium rectifier, which is a ticking, toxic, time bomb. It must be replaced by an appropriate number of modern, silicon, diodes.

All electrolytic capacitors, especially the clamp mounted multi-section part, have literally dried out, with the passage of time. Replacement is essential.

While crystal carts. do produce volts of O/P, I doubt the drive needed for a 6AQ5 is present. IMO, the 50C5 or 1 of its lower heater voltage "equivalents" seems more likely. In any event, all of us are guessing.

Many thanks for the quick reply and info gents.
