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 mate! Age certainly takes a toll on rubber things!
That was so cool to watch. Very surprised the needle was still working that well! Thank you for sharing! ❤

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!
You’re right mate. It was fun. Just a cheapy in its day but great to give it another life. Ahh The memories.

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 KZread 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

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. 👍

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 one saved, Chris! ☺That one will sell fast, I'm sure.

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?
