HI Everyone,

I have recently come into possession of a Philips "La Ronde" RF6 Radiogram.

The turntable is currently not spinning and the previous owner has told me the belt may need adjusting.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any resources that may help me with repairs and servicing.

I would also like any links to websites with general information about manufacture dates and values etc.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

Use Control Panel to unhide your email address and I'll send you the schematic and service notes. (These do not include turntable servicing.)

Member Marcc has noted in a number of posts that turntables need regular maintenance (greasing/oiling) and if that's not done the works can gum up.

Your model was shipped with a BSR UA15SS turntable.

There's a copy of the service manual on eBay at the moment:

Seller doesn't mention overseas shipping but often if you ask they will ship to Oz.

Alternatively, you can purchase and download the SAMS Photofact version here:
