- I Have About 30 Record Players Now, I Have To Test And Sell Some Of These.....
We're trying to keep some of the vintage electronics out of the landfill. Many times when something stops working, it can be repaired if someone will simply take the time to attempt to repair it. This channel documents our amateur attemps at repairing vintage electronics we think are cool.
We don't typically restore anything, we're just trying to get them working again. We've found that most of this stuff was well built and with a little help will start doing what it was intended to do.

To adjust anti-skate you need a smooth record, you adjust it so the arm doesn't move in or out. It helps keep even pressure on both sides of the record groove. If set very far off it can cause skipping.
Did you accidentally connect the speakers to the rear channel on the first receiver? That would be the channel that would get reverb, not the front, and also be less loud with a normal stereo source. Or that receiver is just broke. The delay is for lip sync when watching movies. At least those are old enough to have buttons for most functions, newer ones you are out of luck if you don't have the remote.
I think it was on rear yup!
Glad you got the oil Ron! Keep playing the killer tunes! Thanks for the video. Have a good one!
Thank you for watching :)
Just for giggles, get rid of the adapter, and stick a piece of wire down the center opening.
The antiskate is a ajustment to keep the stylus to ride correctly in the groove. You set it at the number according to the weight of the needle. I hope that helped.
Thank you Jammerk40!
I was 20 in 1973. Back then anyone who like music had a ‘stereo’, which was an amp, turntable, tuner, and maybe a cassette player, with a couple of speakers. This was how we listened to music. …. no iPhone, no ear buds. Just a cranking stereo system. This video reminded me of when I had a Yamaha amp, and a Technics turntable. …. and the music sounded really good. Thanks for posting Ronnie. Keep the good one.
The reason for the microphonic effect is that the pickup is a dynamic ( ceramic ) pickup, and it is basicaly a microphone. it delivered a high output and no need for preamps.
(or it's broke)
Thank you
I'm a few weeks behind in my UA-cam-in', so I figured the screams through the screen about high output ceramics blowing out the phono input of a "decent" post 1980s receiver would suffice. Also, I noticed that BSR was plugged into the CD input of the second receiver, but the impedance is not right on that input, so you lose all the bass and the cartridge sounds tinny. (It actually sounded better than I expected!) The best match for that BSR is a lower end amp from the 1970s where the "Phono" input was designed for ceramic, or it had a switch for "Ceramic" and "Magnetic". The BSR is "Ceramic" and wants at least 1 MegOhm impedance, but the CD input is usually about 47K impedance, and it chokes off the bass. If you're going to keep that BSR, then find a suitable amp, like the Realistic SA-101 or SA-155. Or I bet that stereo in the background sitting on top of that console radio next to the clocks would be perfect!
19:39 HEY! I was listening to that!
Those Technics came in those "rack" system of like the late 80's early 90's , so the cabinet it came with came with a "cover"
Ah that makes sense I forgot about that. It probably had a glass lid or was under a wood panel
Some expensive cartridges need a pre-amp in between the turntable and receiver for more volume
I’d rather have the older less fancy stuff personally
Nothing improves sound from the record changer better than having a new needle people. Oh and clean your records. Use
a lint free cloth (like a new microfiber cloth ) and a cleaner. I use Adam's Polishes VRT and it works great! Before showing
the album cover of the late Dorothy Shay aka the Park Avenue Hillbilly I knew it was her. Love her crazy hayseed like songs!
Steve from IL
Thank you Steve
Btw I’ve never heard of her but now I’m going to have to keep that album!
Sounds like the same guy from "Joe's Classic Video Games". You're good with the juleboxes you got this.
the loudness of the BSR , is because the receiver has a pre amp built into it , that the BSR doesn't need , its the type of cartridge it has in it , i can't remember which is which but there is Magnetic and ceramic cartridge, and then something about moving magnet and moving coil
You think that’s why it has that ringing? I’ll bet the receiver might have a different line input then that would accept it amplified like that (maybe) thank you for the info!
@@AmateurRepairTime yep phono receiver input is for magnet cart aka they put out lower audio and need a amp. Also that is why there is a ground screw on the back of the first amp mag carts would have a ground cable on turntable back to receiver. Them are ceramic needs no pre amp so you can plug them into any port cd ayux so on they will work fine them carts put out high volt sound like 3v and up mag is like 0.22 or something volts.
Also some receivers like the first one. on the back would have a switch to set it to mag or ceramic. but on that first one try hooking them to any other input and you get good sound or should.
Fast thing if turntable has ground it is most likey unless mod mag. if it just haves av cable and no built in amp it is ceramin some new tables like 2000 up have a amp but they also have a switch on them to turn it off.
On that last one I had it on cd and it was still doing it a little but that might be normal not sure
@@AmateurRepairTime looking i was wrong on output volt of cart. mag are in mv ceramic are in volts. Best place to find more info and buy carts I find is. the voice of music site. I do not work or anything for them they just seem to have things i need. Also a good site to find info on a cart or needle like track force.
That’s where I ordered the new needles we’ll see if f that gets those first two sounding better…
You should test records at 45 RPM to avoid the copyright strikes. They'll never catch on!
But then I wouldn’t be able to tell if they’re working !
You need a pre-amp for a higher-end phonographs (relatively cheap) and bearings need grease, not oil. Other than that, a real clinic.
I will be selling anything I find that is high end lol
Receivers of the era have a built-in preamp with the RIAA sound curve built in. The silver Yamaha would need one, the the older Yamaha probably not as it has a phono input.
The microphonic stuff ... Probably got the wrong cartridge on the tone-arm. Maybe a crystal cartridge where a magnetic is specified? This turntable would have been well beyond the crystal cart era.
that receiver has some issues probably the signal processor .. at that point that receiver is a write off
I’d attempt to fix it but I’m just not interested in that vintage of equipment. If it was a little older I’d figure out how it works
@@AmateurRepairTime it is a very budget receiver anyways .. really not worth it
It sounds like he hooked to the rear outputs and not the front outputs.
i also prefer the older record players better too
Ooh, Gumby and Blue Danube in one video. I hope you don't think you'd actually be able to sell a BSR? Even E-waste won't take it.
Do you have a cold your voice sounds different
Oh Lord, you're going to piss off all the guys that insists that it's pronounced Tech-Nicks and Matshusta😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Well they’re all wrong so that’s fine
Like "po tay toe" OR " po tah toe" or like "toe may toe" OR "toe mah toe". Shucks, let's call the whole thing off!
I knew I was going to get roasted about it so I watched a video of the company actually selling them and that’s how the manufacturer pronounces it
