My 1967 Victorola Victor is beyond my level of expertise to repair. Decided to bring the modern player up on a proper cabinet/stand. At least all my LPs are in one place now and will get more use since it 100% works.
@ThrasherPrime very cool! We have a 1960’s era Magnavox console that hadnt been used for 40 years. We turned it on and within minutes all the tubes blew. We did the same, we put our Stanton turntable on it. I am probably going to pull the old cones out and mount a pair of good monitors in there. Project #127. They look so cool!
@MPCavalier I think the record player arm has bad wiring on mine since the speakers work fine in radio mode. It sounds amazing. I'm moving it to the man cave to tinker with it and use the radio.
Yours looks cool too.
@ThrasherPrime
For the few minutes that it worked it sounded pretty awesome. If I could repair the tone arm (missing pivoting hinge and bad wiring) Im still not sure if I would want to pair it with present day vinyl. I keep thinking I’ll order a set of tubes but they are made so poorly.
@MPCavalier Mine is actually solid state, so no tubes. So the issue is clearly the wiring going from the needle to the main unit. 🤷
Probably has a capacitor blown or something. I haven't sodered anything since HS.
@ThrasherPrime Have you tried removing the needle cartridge, cleaning and re-seating (or just replacing) it?
@SnelsetterFarm Yep did all of that.
@ThrasherPrime This poster had a similar problem and it wound up being a stuck rheostat.
@SnelsetterFarm That link isn't working for me.
@ThrasherPrime Every time I post the link it mutates. Might have to hand-jam it in
It plays but the audit on the left side is gone only in record player mode. It works fine in radio mode.
