A sweet find for sure ! When I was kid back in the early 60's, I was just amazed at any of these type turntables .... I could watch them for hours playing records.
Wow thanks alot for answering, so my unit actually works :) i wish i’d have the ability to service it, might order the pieces and follow along but anyways, it works!! I have a question for you, since i cant find an old user manual, it seems as if there was an adapter to play 12” records where you would pull out the spindle and put something else there so its less fidgety to put a 12” record in, i can play mine perfectly but its complicated to switch out the records
Will be working on turntable portion today at some point. Listened to all the records and clips may be forthcoming depending on how many copyright claims are made for 6 second clips and how long it takes to get them removed. The stupid part if if they match say 20 of 200 tracks there is no way to remove the 20 clips at once. Have to be done one at a time and wait and then do the next so it could take a week of Sundays to satisfy the record companies blocking an old song for a 6 second clip. Yes I am serious. Some very old music gets blocked world wide. 5 seconds of Blondie call me resulted in a take down. Some record companies are just assholes. Considering that there are only 12 notes and fewer chords there is going to be sinilaries all the time.
I have the same turntable in a Philips model 275. It’s a Philips AG1003. Also the model 275 has a separate tuner and amp chassis. The amp is the model AG9008. It also have 3 speakers but it’s an OTL amp so they are 800ohms! Everything works and sounds great! It’s the first time I see another one that looks this close the the one I have internaly
My father had a Philips radiogram with a radio section in the top and the record changer behind a drop down door below. This used the same changer, and it worked well until a tooth broke off the large gear wheel, it still worked until that tooth was required, then you had to help it get past it. It was long out of production, so no spares were available. The valves (Tubes) are not original as Philips used their own brand which later became Mullard. Part 2 should be interesting, these decks were complicated compared to the later ones.
Wow! Does that being Phillips bring back good memories, My dads hifi unit was a Phillips and about a 3rd times bigger in length. It was a AM/FM Stereo with a Record Changer with a diamond stylus. Beautiful cabinet - but a bit heavy to move as it too had the Tube type Amplifier in it. I must say Dave that That unit is a very rare find now and days and in working order too. Wayed da go there my friend... Today I bet if you showed that to a class room of grade 2 - the children would not know what on earth it was..
I've never seen a deck like that, an unusual philips design :-D The chassis looks very clean for it's age, i'm guessing the radio is a single hetrodyne, seems to work ok, i liked the full bass and less treble, it covered the radio hiss. I'm surprised you didn't get any buzzing with that big aluminium capacitor. I expected it to be very dead. Robertson screws maybe?, i like that idea :-D
The resistor off of the audio output's secondary is most likely a negative feedback path to reduce distortion. If so it will most likely be leading to the tube's cathode.
Nfb is generally applied to the output stage not to the preamp. Would have to look it up and see what they were doing with it. It is a feedback loop for sure.
3:50 Canada explains the AM-only tuner. No surprise that this was made in Canada. I've heard that Phillips was reluctant to use the Phillips name, at least for electronics, in the USA for fear of being sued by Philco. They also had record changers (the ones from late 1960s with automatic size detection) with a very similar design to that of the Collaro changers Magnavox used. Phillips got the last laugh though, buying out the American divisions of both Phillips and Magnavox by the 1980s.
12:30 Wasn't it common to have a feedback loop like that for linearity as well? I've seen amplifiers with a separate winding just for negative feedback, to cancel out the distortion from the push-pull transition and from core saturation. The separate winding allowed the speaker connections to be isolated from any internal voltages.
This is single ended. You're thinking of ultra linear design which uses a center cap off of the primary side to feed back to the output tube to increases linearity in an ultra linear design. This one's not providing a feedback loop to the output to but instead is going to the preamp tube.
Hi Dave, please save the 45's, they definitely are gems, of course u-tube won't let you use fair use copyright laws, and will, like you said give you a strike !!, great video!
Of course UA-cam will strike down the video. That's a given. I have some really rare records in there. One is on the swastika label. never seen that label before and likely never will again.
The Phillips over arm is so heavy, 45 large splinle preventing records to drop at ease. Play large centred record as stacked without over arm engaged The Over arm (weight) will have no inpact on records placed on spindle with small centre holes. A very clumbsie machine . The pulley idler wheel is very unreliable in auto mode. Only two stylus pressure settings on this machine. not for your prestine record collection . Happy listening
Can you post the names of the songs of the records in there. I liked the music clips of a few of the songs on those records and may want to download them off of iTunes or something. Also I wanted to say that that thing has good sounding tone. It also has decent audio power. One other suggestion. You may want to add a mod to fuse the secondary on that. 6X4 and 6X5 tubes were known to short the transformer if the tube goes.
It's not going to be used. I am compiling another video where I show the records and play short clips. Hopefully short enough to not be hit with copyright. This one already got clipped as I went 2 seconds too long. So i am having to mute the track. The video showing most of the records is 3 hours long and it will be prescreened before going live to remote any copyright.
@@12voltvids I will tune in for that. I am not infringing copyright nor am I asking you to play them. I was just curious because I liked the tiny clips of the songs and may want to buy a couple of the full version from iTunes or one of the other licensed download sites someday. You don't have to play them but I was curious if you could comment with the names of the songs and who sings them in comment text form.
It will be up as soon as UA-cam processes and mutes any clips that record companies claim. It's over 3 hours long and that is part 1. I still have a stack to get to.
I check my caps when i buy them and mark them with a sharpie. I have my system. No black dot on right side with label facing forward means it is left side. Also much less important on physically small caps. The old ones were much larger in size and thus had a larger exposed outside foil area. I just do not see the need to go through the process on camera every time like the other guy does. I have covered it many moons ago.
SWELL! An era gone forever. Each 45 or LP you got was a treasure. Guarded them with your life. And, the power of suggestion. HAD! to go on UA-cam and hear Les Paul's "Whispering" record from 1951. You'll find that the turntable is quite slow: probably 4 or 5%. Stylus sounds OK, and that's good too. Looking forward to the next part.
A sweet find for sure ! When I was kid back in the early 60's, I was just amazed at any of these type turntables .... I could watch them for hours playing records.
I'd keep that unit myself. Fun for playing those vintage records. Anxious to see what goodies you got there.
Thanks, Dave. Looking forward to the rest of the series, especially the work on the record changer.
Just got this from an old lady, was looking to fix it and found you’re video. Super stoked thanks alot
It's a great unit. I use mine for playing old 78 records on as I have a few dozen from the big band era.

Cant find any info on this unit online 😅
Dave this will be so nice after it's completely repaired and working up to par! Can't wait to see the finished video!

I was just playing some 78 on it yesterday for that matter. Pick this unit up for 40 bucks complete with about 500 45 records in a big tote.
very nice! cannot believe that apart from the idler wheel all the turntable mechanics seem mostly ok, defo not a BSR!
Looks nice, like vintage radio's record player's
oh wow the second record you showed us is worth big big money great find a true gem.
Which one was that?
My father had a Philips radiogram with a radio section in the top and the record changer behind a drop down
door below.
This used the same changer, and it worked well until a tooth broke off the large gear wheel, it still worked until
that tooth was required, then you had to help it get past it.

I restored the record player today to fully functional. Sounds great and will be used to play those old mono 45 records. I'll feature them too.
I hade a Phillips k9 tv in New zealnd from 1962 26 inch I added a decoder it died in 2021
Not bad bad for great built gear
1:21 I always thought "Party Doll" was kind of a raunchy song for 1957. I've heard that a few stations even banned it.

May I as why you didn’t go three prong on such big voltages, just curious?
Isolated by the transformer.
Good idea about not plugging in this unit till you know it’s safe to do so.
No tube gear should be plugged in until it is inspected and upgraded.
Pre HiFi Audio Times ... 🫣
It's HiFi, just not stereo.
Do you still have that brownie 8mm movie projector you showed a video of for sale please.?
Yes it is on loan but the guy that has it had finished with it and will be returning.

Turntable is all lubed up best I could. Some jackass took the platter off before and lost the ball bearings.
Wait till you see the records. Some will be valuable for sure.
