We have a Magnavoxradio/phonograph that needs new vacuumtubes, but we have nearly no means of acquiring the recommended/required 5u4g tubes, so we were wondering if there was anything more accessible that we could use instead.
A 33 1/3 rpm phonograph record of the "1812 Overture" plays 15 minutes and 12 seconds. The music starts at a point 14.5 cm from the center of the record and ends 6.1 cm from the center. How long, to the nearest centimeter, is the groove?
time: 15:12 = 15.2 minutes
number of revolutions 15.2(100/3) = 506.67
change in radius is: 14.5 - 6.1 = 8.4
Change in radius for one revolution: 8.4/506.67 = 0.01658 cm
Average radius, for the first revolution: 14.5 - 0.01658/2 = 14.5 - 0.00829 cm
Average radius, for the second revolution: 14.5 - 0.01658 - 0.00829 cm
Average radius, for the nth revolution: 14.5 - 0.01658(n - 1) - 0.00829 cm
We need to sum these, from n = 1 to n = 506.67
506.67(14.5 + 0.00829) - 0.01658*SUM(n)
= 7350.9 - 2132.4 = 5218.5 cm
Finally multiply by 2pi to get the length of the groove.
Answer: 32789 cm

Answer: There is no groove at all in the 1812 Overture. If it was a P-Funk record, that groove would be mAsSiVe.

I wanted to get a phonograph/record player but I have absolutely no knowledge on the subject so I can't decide what to get.I couldn't find anything useful on the internet and I don't know anyone who might know. Can anyone give me some advice what to look for in a phonograph and stuff? Thanks :)

Brian Gorrell: Antique Phonographs
29.09.11
With more than a hundred antique phonographs on display in his basement, and a hundred more in storage and in various antique booths around town, Brian Gorrell's collection is certainly impressive, if not the most extensive in Kentucky. As a band director, musician and retired music educator, his interest in early sound devices is multi-faceted not only is he fascinated by the history and the evolution of the technology, but the external brass horns adorned by many of the early-model machines

Phonograph cylinders were the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound. Commonly known simply as "records" in their era of greatest popularity (c. 1888–1915), these cylinder shaped objects had an audio recording engraved on the outside surface which could be reproduced when the cylinder was played on a mechanical phonograph.
"Here's a charming blend of old and ancient tech, a CD player that looks like it took a few cues from an ancient Victrola from a century ago. Designer Yong Jieyu took the innards of a disassembled CD player and rearranged them, turning the laser upside down and situating it inside an appendage that's shaped vaguely like an old-fashioned tonearm..."
Antique Phonographs. Antique phonographs literally burst onto the stage of history in December of 1877 an offshoot of Thomas Edison\'s attempt to save the content of telegraph transmissions for later
From Wikipedia: The Voyager Golden Record is a phonograph record included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. It contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
