What a blast from the past! i had one of those exact players when i was 16 until i was 19, and i used it till it stopped. I worked with sheet metal and i made speaker mounts for my bedhead so i could put the speakers in it. That was so good to lay in bed with the music directly behind my head. I can't remember where it actually went, or what i did with it, but hey! that could be my old one.. Great, now back to the video, I'm at 27:06 and a little to go!
Thanks Michael, glad it brought back some good memories! 😊👍
A little bit of maintenance always helps. Glad to see you got another goer.
Thanks mate! Age certainly takes a toll on rubber things!
Nice restoration. You can download and print out a stroboscopic disc to check turntable speed using the 50hz flicker from your lights.
Thanks Steve! That's interesting! I did have one of those discs once - I should have kept it!
That was so cool to watch. Very surprised the needle was still working that well! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thanks for watching - it was amazing the needle hadn't been damaged! 👍😊
You’re right mate. It was fun. Just a cheapy in its day but great to give it another life. Ahh The memories.
A cheapy, but with 70's character! Thanks Glen 👍😊
Now that's my kind of electronics repair, no whatsa names and thingemy bobs! 😅
Haha, mechanical is a lot less confusing than electronical! 🤣🤣
You just reenacted my typical weeknight.
Fixing record players?
@@TheUltimateRecycler Yup. Among other things. Got a '63 Magnavox tube amp phono on my bench as we speak.
I think you can fix anything!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Cynthia - I do like to try!
I though it was playing way to fast. Then I realised I was watching it one and a half speed. With diecast cars, we sand the plastic windscreens and dip in floor polish. I seen a UA-cam who builds 1/25 model cars. He paint the whole car in floor polish. Plastic look brand new with floor polish. It appears to last a long time. Cheers Graham
That's an excellent idea - I'll have to try that! Thanks Graham - now slow down a bit! 🤣
@@TheUltimateRecycler lol
Cool fix! I'm always scared to touch these because of the mechanical parts, but I wanted you to check those old capacitors 😆
I'm surprised the app gets a good reading when the phone must unbalance the turntable a bit, but the way the number rotates to stay readable is very clever!
Thanks Nebby - I didn't bother checking the caps as the amp appeared to work fine. Yeah, I thought afterwards that the speeds were probably a bit slow due to the weight of the phone as well. It's probably not an accurate test for a small turntable, even though it is a cool app.
Another life saved by Dr Chris 😷
Haha, if only I could charge like doctors Dee!! 🤣
Depends if you bulk bill!
Good fix Chris. Haha, I think you would need a couple of drinks to appreciate the sound quality 🤪. Ah Mark Holden, my wife was a fan. 👍
I should have shown the album cover! A classic 70s pic of a young Mark Holden! Thanks Alex 😊👍
Another one saved, Chris! ☺That one will sell fast, I'm sure.
Yep, I think it will - just put it in the shop today! 👍😊
Nice « non economical » well done job ! Cheers
Thanks Retif 😊👍
That's a whole lot of Grommet and no Wallace in sight!
And Grommet has seen better days! 🤣
Great video, thank you! 😄 I’ve just found one of these left behind in my house and i’m trying to fix it up. Luckily no motor problems for me - but it’s coming through super crackly - do you think it could be an issue with the stylus or tonearm?
Thanks Eliza! 😁 Probably the stylus I would think.
Re-apply yellow paint... 😁
Haha, I'll have to order some! 🤣
More likely the needle is stuffed. That will always make them sound dodgey.
Yep, very good point mate - I didn't even consider that!
Bloody hell mate when's the last time you bought wd 40 was it in 1975 cos from the state of ur spray can that's when it's from
Haha, I don't think I've ever bought WD40! Remember I clean-out other people's sheds & houses for a living - and just use what I find! It was probably a much better formula back then!😊👍
@@TheUltimateRecycler I think human semen was a better mix back then judging by the imbeciles walking around now
