Good morning.


First of all, sorry for not speak in french.


A friend of mine just offered me an old AVIALEX vinyl player.
I searched on internet about it but i havent found almost anything, except some of your posts about some Avialex models.


Could you folks give me some information about it like it's age, if it is rare or note, value?
Im thinking about make a restauration but im affraid that could be hard to find spare parts...


Ill attach some pictures of it.


thank you very much.

Don't worry about old age.....It doesn't last that long!

Good evening, and welcome!

The tonearm makes me think of a Clement (it's not one, but the shame is quite similar)...
Sorry for this bad english...

- date: from 1961 to ?

- rare: yes !

- value: it depends, not enough wellknow to have an "official cotation", so could come to high price on ebay or with no bid, who knows.

If I were you, I would keep it, seems to be a good TT with a cool arm.
I would like to find one, great look, hope great sounding.

Tell us more.
Do you tested it ?

I don't think that finding spare parts would be a problem because yours seems to be complete.
A good find for you would be its user manual, even better a service manual.
May be an user (somewhere) have one to share with you ...

The only parts I would pay attention is the motor and the idler, if both looks OK, you just need a good clean, some new grease on the backside of the TT, and a cartrige ... I guess.
