So you might be able to sell it now for $75-125 as is or do the restoration and get roughly $300. Assume restoration parts cost roughly $100. If an avid collector wants a missing model,you might get a price premium. Before the economic slow-down I saw these sell on eBay in restored condition in the $350-450 range, sometimes higher. Other potential issues, turntable mat has curled, changer deck and tone arm need paint, rebuilt motor, did I mention rust? The point of all this is restoration can be a ton of work, perhaps many have tried and failed to rebuild the few available of this model.Īs for cost/prices. Installed Pfanstiehl P-190 stereo pick-up.
The RP-168’s rubber was hardened and cracked, needed new idler wheels (no cycling cams used) and motor mounts, (no motorboard rubber cones, these use springs). Replaced original selenium rectifier and several resistors. Tubes: 12SA7 and 12SK7 were still OK, the two 6AQ6 were almost dead, and both 35L6 were very leaky as ususal. Normal restoration work replacing all paper caps and three power filters, stole a 6 X 9 speaker from a 9-Y-511.

Wiring insulation was plastic, cracked and missing everywhere, shorts, short and more shorts. Working on one now, it is in good condition, it had been stored in a dry, protected location. I’m not sure why unlike other RCA phonographs, these weren’t manufactured for very long, perhaps because they were early versions. So the good news is you can use some parts from the later 9Y510 family if necessary. This 9Y51 was also discontinued in its first year and replaced by the very common, very reliable 9Y510. This (oak or mahogany) wooden cabinet phono/radio combination was manufactured for only one year, competing with RCA’s 9Y5 wooden cabinet (sold only in Canada) which was also discontinued both of these machines were replaced by the also rare bakelite cabinet 9Y51. It has a powerful push-pull radio/amp and reliable RP-168 record changer. Priced at $79.95 when introduced in 1949, this ‘silent sapphire’ permanent-point pick-up phonograph was one of the first 45 players introduced. Your RCA Victor Model 9-Y-7 is one of the rarer RCA Victor 45 phonographs. Some of the gang here might help give Joe more info.
