Space age audio - fifty years on

Ғылым және технология

The Apollo 11 moon landing encounters the Philips UFO.
Depending upon what source you read, the date for the introduction of the Philips UFO turntable might vary. Multiple sources indicate that the design was done by Patrice Dupont in 1969 - these include sound-of-design.de/en/node/188 - and the book “L'utopie du tout plastique : 1960-1973”. However other online sources state the GF303 was manufactured from 1972-1974. Irrespective of which one is correct, it’s irrefutably a classic space-age design.
COMMENTS: Unfortunately as soon as this video was posted the comments were immediately inundated with individuals promoting their own agendas and conspiracy theories. As a result of this, other viewers complained that the comments needed moderating because of all the spam. I therefore pinned a notice to advise that comments would be moderated - however that idea got the free speech advocates up in arms.
So here's what I'm doing - I'm just going to let the comments do their own thing - I won't be reading them and I won't be moderating them.
I will be offline today, working on another video.
It's up to each individual to decide whether to read the comments.
The ratio of comments to views is one stat to keep in mind though if you do choose to read them. Approximately only 1% of viewers comment on any given video. Most comments are friendly and helpful - the unpleasant ones only represent a fraction of that one percent of viewers. So it might be wise not to spend too long thinking about a statistical rounding error.
If anyone wants to post their agenda on KZread they should make their own video about it rather than trying to piggyback on a video about a record player.

Progress? Not always! For example I've got a JBL Bluetooth speaker, which cost £130 & although it should last for Hundreds of charge cycles, there is no way I can see of opening it, if the battery pack needed replacement.

    Hi. In answer to did they sell in the uk. yes they did. I had the red version. It. didn't have any sort of plug on it , as at the time there was no law to say there had to be .. It came from rumbelows in St Helens lancs. in 1973 for my 9th birthday. all the family chipped in towards it. it lasted until around 1980 . the plastic deteriorated really badly. bits had broken off. the hinge had snapped, the handle broken off at the end. and the cartridge stopped working.. the price of a new cartridge was the same as a second hand Kenwood stack.. so it was changed for an amp turntable and speakers (which I still use),😁. loved the video. took me right back. thank you for that.. cheers Mitch

    My late Mother also bought a red one new here in the U.K. I have no idea where she (or my Father) bought it. Most likely the same place they rented their TV from. The same place that sold him a Grundig DC series cassette recorder. Hers actually had the Euro plug on it so was always used with a shaver type adapter.

    As a restorer of old record players and higher end auto turntables, the one thing I can tell you is that rubber roller cleaner doesn't solve the problem for those idler wheels and motor mounts. An idler does two things: it transfers the motor's energy, AND, it provides isolation from motor vibration. While the cleaner can address the surface rubber, it doesn't address all the hardened rubber beneath that surface. The result is that the higher frequency motor vibrations get transferred to the platter. There are services here in the U.S. that actually rebuild those idlers. Perhaps you have the same in Britain. The same for the motor mounts. Those get stiff, and the motor vibration transfers to the plastic plinth. Sometimes you can replace those with rubber washers from the hardware store, depending on the shape. Some types are also being reproduced. Having worked on various versions of these Philips players when they were current products, I can tell you that you are correct in assuming that these ran quieter when they were new. They ran quite smoothly, in fact. The non functional motor could have been, as you said, due to oxidation on the commutator. Or, it may have been due to oxidation on the centrifugal speed regulator contacts...also inside the motor.

I just magically guessed the whole thing. Are you happy now? How about this: my response wasn't really for him, it was for those people on here that might be interested in actually restoring an old record player. How many of them know about idler rebuilding services? I know for a fact that many people operate under the false assumption that they can somehow revive a crusty old idler by soaking it in brake fluid or rubbing some magic liquid on the outside of it. BTW, Techmoan has often said that he's not a technician, so it's not a given that he knows about everything that's available for repairing these players.

    You can vary weight tracking by using a small spring end unter the tonearm pivot ; there's three weights to chose : 3.5, 4.5 and more or less 5 g. A common issue is the AC 187/188 transistors became sort of petrified. They're better changed but if you gently hit them that'll break the mess causing the short-circuits inside and they'll work again for some time. The more you'll use them again the less they'll freeze again. You can also better the sound quite nicely by replacing the sponge rubber washer damping the loudspeaker in the small white holder (you can find some in DIY shops). It will make the coloured bowl vibrate again and give a bit more bass. This and a good new made stylus with fresh rubber will lead the sound to be quite pleasant. If you're interested I just had some rubber laser cut with the right round shape and a few cable holders in case it breaks when you open the speaker case (anti-clockwise turn). I just DJied disco music at a party with mine and that was wild fun ^_^

    This one kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGFp1ryLqqatqrg.html It's amazing to me that 1991 is only 22 years removed from 1969, whereas 1991 is 28 years removed from 2019. Another thing I never really appreciated: the moon landing effort began in earnest in 1962 (Kennedy at Rice University) and completed by 1969. Then they did moon landings up until Dec 1972. Then Apollo was replaced by the Space Shuttle that operated from 1981 to 2011 (30 years, 135 launches). The reason I never appreciated the close proximity between Apollo and the Shuttle was because I was born in 1968, so I was too young to appreciate any of the moon trips. Obviously I heard of them, but to me they were always something from way back in the deep past. I always regarded the shuttle as the modern way to launch, and the rockets of old to be out of date and wasteful. Well they were - but then so too were the solid boosters off the shuttle. Oh well - and very interesting track too, btw!
