  • Thinking of buying one of these in a real nice cabinet, but right now the record player is not working properly. Not spinning and when spinning by hand no sound. Radio works fine. Any idea on this vague description what is wrong?

  • @crushingalldeceivers The needle (shell) inside is damaged by age! you must change it !! good luck!

  • @radiogram56 Thanks for quick reply... so that would make the platter not spin when turned on as well?  Thanks

  • @crushingalldeceivers Maybe the speed is set on "0", maybe the rubber wheel is hard, broken... maybe the motor needs oil.

  • WTF is this square on the disc ?

  • A reflection over the surface, some of the stars glued on the wall...

  • sounds much better than CDs. More musical, warmer and brighter.

  • to the guy who said a new amplifier compared to the ones of the old times was poor quality..Well, that depends, my friend. There's good and bad quality amps with every generation. I would personally take the sound of old tube amps over modern ones. I even like the sound of the marantz units from the 80s and those can be gotten cheap if you look around. Plug you a technics 1200 into the phono input, get a top grade cartridge like an Ortofon and man...you'll be blown away by the sound..trust me

  • @IdontneedanIpod need to have it rebuilt by VM Audio The cart is part of the headshell and can't be replaced

    unless you are good with a dremal tool and gut the headshell

  • @radiogram56 Where would you go to get a shell for one of these, I haven't dealt with a machine this old before only from the 60's upwards.

  • F U N !

  • Love the Beach Boy's cover of the song better! This is really tinny.!!!

  • oir esta cancion es retroceder en el tiempo, es ir a 1956, es estar en esos dias que no volveran, esas si son canciones, no como las de ahora que solo son ruido ...

  • @IdontneedanIpod Interesting, well if she finds out what is wrong, let me know. I ended up buying it. I took it apart and everything looks fine. When I lift the arm, it starts to hum and I can feel a vibration, but still will not work at all.

  • @crushingalldeceivers My aunt has one of these with the same problem.
