I have a Mediterranean Sylvania record player cabinet style scp but the only place I can find it is a Sylvania brochure. I need to know how rare it is, what it's worth if it's worth anything, and where I can go to either restore it or buy parts for it. It's made of oak walnut and it's supposed to have a Garrard automatic turntable 4 speed. Whatever information you can get me where I can get parts, what it's worth, anything like that, please let me know.

Along with needles, phono cartridges for most of these units are sold by a number of eBay sellers at a reasonable cost. Regarding college students, most are simply just trying to make ends meet I used to work at a college and simply don't have the extra expendables to pay even a moderate amount for a record player.
