Glad to see another record player video from you. It is a shame that most of the younger generation go not get involved in any restorations of any kind. All the restoration video spicy of electronics cars Furniture Etc are all older people 65 or Plus. With the exceptions of you Shango and possibly Anderson. I have so many record players and radios that need restoration by will not live long enough to do them all. At some point I will need to pass them along hopefully to somebody in the younger generation. In my personal opinion the best lower-end turntables ever made for the voice of Music 1200 series

I noticed this kind of hack repairs on school record players may be been largely due to school dept. budgets being cut in the late 90's. Many of them had to kind of "make do" with what they could get out of a Radio Shack to keep old stuff going. Worse, they may have had an on staff A/V person who bragged he could get the old stuff fixed with out actually knowing how to do it correctly(most likely to keep from getting laid off).

I had a similar Califone some time back. I was rather disappointed with it compared to my Newcomb. I sold it to a person that watched the video I had up on it years ago. I’m old enough to remember the 89T cartridges being very low cost and very available.

On a side note the angled back 6X9 speaker was a wise design. A simple pointed object through the front grill would not hit the speaker unless it was very long...

Hey remember quite a few times salvaged old record players back then they were quite plentiful here's the motors quite frequently for other projects! Love the other salvage parts as well including speakers had a pair of worker player speakers bolted to Mi workbench years ago literally had I think the speaker wires were actually dropped off chords some of the record players even or possibly speaker cables off something else don't think of it I think they already had the quarter inch quick connect already on there most of those were Gray You Are chords probably about 18 gauge or so. Even had some speakers that would think they were possibly from a lid of a device but don't know what they were from oftentimes I would just get pieces from stuff that had been attempted to repair or Beyond repair. Don't worry anything that was fixable got repaired it wasn't being repurposed one way or another or more than one way Aki repurposed forcible different things different projects. You would have a few old Communications speakers back in the day put quarter inch Jack's wants of those chassis for the communications speakers! At first I was a little confused on so the speaker is regarding the plug size that was on the table and realize which movie projectors these are for and it was the Oddball size photo Jack plug! Simple fix they're snip and new plug

Additional stuff regarding the old record players from where I remember as well at least. One of the things occasion I do is make a large spinning top out of scrap parts if had a motor that was no good and really messed up turntable platter or ones just too many of them to hang on to. Miss Woodford happen frequently because of the amount of record players I had coming in at that time. Great little kids toy to have a nice big spinning top have people beg me to make these for them even for their kids and themselves even seriously. What I would do is use a modified motor shaft from when the record players again with a bad motor use the rotor assembly blue this into the turntable platter assembly in a certain manner basically creating a toy top worked quite well certain ones of the motors. Got this idea from a younger friend of mine saying hey that might make a good top if you can find a way to put those two things together there on the workbench. And that toy was born from somebody saying this I didn't even think about it! I didn't tell anything and well first prototype was his birthday present it was in a few days! Wrapped up nice and said here you go and he says like oh you remembered my birthday and I said wait till you see why it is and he just opened up and laughed he said so you did it! I had so many used record players over the years it was ridiculous. Since I've repaired them of course had the consumables AKA tubes and all available. Actually even rigged up a little device to allow you to take a signal out from say a Walkman essentially a modified pair of headphones sort of that you could place the tonearm on this every couple of knocks vibration to use the record player as a amplifier actually work pretty well. Kind of the photograph equivalent of the aux-in adapter for cassette deck! Later on I actually build a proper circuit to do this fully isolated it took a lot of tweaking but eventually worked really well. Definitely did not want to use quarter inch since I did not want to make any mistakes by accident obviously! Also had an old pair of transistor radios with a input jack the actually would use as stereo speakers this is back before computer speakers existed nice thing is they had Barrel Jacks for power input actually made a y cable specifically for this later on actually installed second Jax and paralleled them up so easily could connect a power adapter 21 and power both from the same adapter and also could use just one set of batteries for portable plus maintain the use of the radio also I know people that work in different Industries so basically had a ton of used batteries that were still in great shape and plenty of capacity left 9 V and much more sometimes if I had a bunch of little batteries I would just Roman series then use them up until Dad sometimes literally taping them together blossoms using magnets of lead wires which came up with vinyl design. I remember everybody somehow getting the speaker magnets off the speaker frames and they were referred to at least by everyone I knew as radio Magnus but they were actually speaker Magnus the little what they call Pot magnets I guess you'd say for the voice coils not the big guys but the ones from smaller speakers! Had a ton of those for a fridge magnets. Ran across the few the other day even in my old trunk

Bryan, a while back I designed a pair of phono cartridge preamps. They have a gain control to set the gain anywhere form 1 to 10 times. They were designed to produce 3 V RMS with any cartridge that could make between 0.3V and 3V. In this case you want 1.5V and have 0.5V, so you need a gain of 3. Either preamp could do that easily. One of the preamps has bass and treble controls as well as gain, the other only has the gain control. Would you like me to send you a few of these? They are designed to work with any power or B+ voltage between 12V and 450V, so should work in this machine, or a machine with a tube amp.

I also May have a fer styluses and cartridges as well as many other parts. but, I need some for my Zenith 2g's yes more than one of those. maybe If I move out of here in the next year , I can look at everything and send you the parts for free! BTW: d That song was by Jerry Reed I think! was it? I know his records from starting in about 67 on the RCA label! In fact I believe I have his first LP!

One could wire 3 8-ohm speakers in 4 different ways; 1) all in series (= 24 ohms), 2) all in parallel (= 2.67 ohms), 3) 2 in series with one parallel (= 5.33 ohms), and 2 in parallel with one in series (= 12 ohms). Of these, #1 has too high of an impedance; it’s not likely you’ll get much volume out of it. #2 has too little impedance and will result in the driver running hot or burning out. #3 and #4 seem to be the closest to 8 ohms. #3 seems to be the best option; wire the two midrange or tweeters in parallel, then put a bigger (woofer) behind - and in series with - it. A small crossover might not hurt here, though that will - of course - affect the impedance. A bigger (power) amp is called for if one did want to drive two midrange speakers and a woofer; I can’t see the factory amp being up to that task. 😢
