whats the difference between 33 1/3, 45, LP, Albums? what size is normal for a record player or turntable?

I have a box full of records I got for free. some trance stuff some 70's/80's albums. I want to buy a turntable so I can finally enjoy them. What kind is good...Numark perhaps? also, I guess I'd need to buy a mixer and speakers to use the record player? I don't want to pay too much but I also only want to make this purchase once so it has to be good quality. thanks!

This might sound odd, but I thought I'd ask for some advice because I really have no idea where to start. This is the story so far, which I'm hoping you can help with...

For as long as I can remember I've had this same dream. The dream to open up a shop that offers everything I love and hold dear to the world outside.

I want to open a bookshop, which is also a cute little cafe/bakery. And probably sells music and jewellery every once in a while. And has live music on occasion. And has days where kids come in and get read to. And is filled with vintage second hand shelves and furniture, with fairy lights and mismatched chairs and crockery, with old 50s classics crackling on a record player very quietly in a corner. Where there's a little cabinet behind the counter full of one of a kind first editions. Where the smell of fresh baking and book paper hits you as you walk through the door (the kind of door with a bell attached)

I want to be the owner of somewhere really personal, really special. A place that highlights the faceless production line styles of certain well known bookshops and certain well known coffee houses. A place where you know the name of all the staff, and can dream away hour upon hour, lost in the worlds of the great minds of our past, sitting on a comfy old sofa with a hot chocolate.

So this is my vision. As you might gather, I have a slightly overactive imagination. My problem is, I have no mind for business at all, I have no thousands of pounds of savings, I don't know the first thing about opening a shop, I don't know the legal implications, I basically don't know anything to do with business in any way shape or form. These are all things I am willing to find out. But I feel like there's so much I don't know that I don't know where to start, and I ws hoping someone could point me in the right direction...

I don't have a record player so I can't test them. They are not in sleeves, I used to keep them in a little 45 box where you took off the sleeves. Who would have known?
They are not in perfect shape to sell on ebay.
Thanks.

I have an old entertainment center in a basement called Airline Amphi-Theatre. It's got a record player, black and white television set and a radio. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about it.

i recently came into possession of some records and a semi-new record player/cd/radio/tape combo. I started listening and during quieter parts of a song i could hear music that was played earlier, in the background, almost like an echo. In this case i was listening to Miles Davis and i could hear parts of his solo from the song before in the next song (Fast chart- Ballad)
Could this be my stylus ? and if so any idea what kind most of these combo systems use?
Please and thank you

I HAVE AN OLD I THINK LATE 1800S EARLY 1900'S CRANK HANDLE RECORD PLAYER MADE BY GEO P. BENT CO (CROWN PIANO). I HAVE NO INFO OTHER THEN IT WAS MADE FOR HAVERTY'S FURNITURE COMPANY. I AM WANTING TO SELL IT BUT I DON'T WANT TO OVER/UNDER PRICE IT! HELP PLEASE!

I bought a record player from Australia on eBay and I live in North America. I went to RadioShack and it was to buy the two things I would need for the record player to work. What is the cheapest alternative?

I saw an ad on Craigslist for a vintage stereo system from the 80's (the receiver and record player look good), but I don't know much about speakers. The ad says it has: Technics Receiver
Pioneer Turntable
Yamaha speakers

My wife recently brought home a mid-1950s RCA "New Orthophonic" record player, model 7-HF-5.

The player has three speakers-- a centrally mounted 6.5-inch main speaker, and two auxiliary 3.5-inch speakers pointed away from the main speaker's projection at 45-degree angles.

I am attempting to restore this record player to good working condition. I have replaced the tubes and the needle (not the easiest things to find) and now need speakers (which seem impossible to find) because the originals are busted. In fact, the main speaker is nothing but a metal frame-- the original either rotted away or was broken by abuse. The auxiliary 3.5s have a couple of small torn places in the cones and generally sound pretty cruddy.

I was informed by a home and car audio tech today that I certainly wouldn't be able to replace them with simple car audio speakers, even though the original units are the same size as some fairly common car audio speakers. He said the impedance would probably be all wrong and thus I'd run the danger of ruining the record player's vintage amplifier unit.

The tech attempted to check the impedance of my old speakers, but was only able to get a good reading off of one of the 3.5-inch units, which measured at 3 ohms. He said we could assume the other 3.5-inch unit would have measured the same reading, but he couldn't say for sure what the 6.5-inch unit would measure. He said if he had to hazard a guess, he'd guess it would come in at around 10 ohms because the two 3.5-inch units were chained off of the 6.5-incher. But he said that's just a guesstimate, and he wouldn't buy any replacement speaker based on that.

Does anybody know the ohms of the 6.5-inch speaker in these old record players? Or where I can buy replacement speakers for it?

I'm fairly adept at minor audio repairs-- I've replaced speakers for much larger enclosures used in live music performance in the past-- but when it comes to home audio stuff this old, I'm a newbie and need a little help finding good sources for repair parts, user manuals, etc. (FYI, I'm going to try to contact RCA about it, but I don't necessarily expect much help there since this thing is more than 50 years old.)

Okay so I am doing an alice in wonderland themed room I have the walls down I am painting the mural with my father (both good painters) but I wanted antique furniture I was going to do victorian style since that was the year the book was set in (but it is to hard to find) so should I do dark or white furniture?Please comment! Oh by the way it isn't exactly alice it is more like her room it will be antique with old telephone, T.V in the closet, record player and just hints of Alice here and their like tea pots, tapestries and little nick knacks.

I used to rock out to the record player. I liked the purple record, #4, with Camptown Races.

When I'd get bored with it, I'd strum the music things under the stylus.

I use rotary dial as the main telephone in the house, wash and dry clothes manually instead of an automatic dryer, wash dishes manually instead of dishwasher, use a record player, a typewriter, one of my televisions is from 1988, use a broom and mop, etc. Is this strange? I am 20

I recently bought a record player, and have been frequenting local D.I.'s (a kind of thrift store, but not yucky smelling like the salvation army) and purchasing random records. So far they all seem to be made of plasticish material thats light and flimsy, except one. It was in the wrong case, and its made of something really hard and dark. It feels like glass to me. I can't see any scratches, but the sound is really bad quality.
Any idea what its made of, and what time period it would have been produced?

I have a Sony LBT-ZT4 stereo through which I'd like to play a record player/turntable. I'm wondering what I'd need to look for in a record player/turntable in order for this to work. The inputs on the stereo are a mini-stereo and a 1/4" stereo that is amplified (i.e. I can play my guitar through it). So would I be able to play a turntable without a preamp through the amplified input? Or would I need a turntable with a preamp, even though the input is amplified? I really don't wanna buy a receiver or any other components. I don't know that much about stereo equipment and all that stuff, and I know almost nothing about turntables except that I like how they sound... Also, I'd love some suggestions about nice, sub-0 turntables (new or used) and any personal experience people have with connecting record players to stereo sets. Thanks!!!!

I've been trying to find anything online about a vintage magnavox astro sonic record player. I just wanted to know what year it was. I've been online trying to find it by model # and or serial # and can't find anything, if anyone knows anything about how to find it please help me out. Thanks

I want to buy a lot of 45's-7 inch singles, but I'm not sure if they can play on a standard record player that plays regular sized lp's. Can they be played on it?

Thanks!

Hello! in about a month its gonna be my boyfriends birthday, and i've bought him a couple of records since hes starting to collect them. And now that i think about it, I should get him a record player to go along with it! can someone tell me the differences between a turntable and just a record player? Also where i can find one about 50 or up to 100 dollars? Im looking on eBay but everything is so confusing and I dont want to buy him something that doesn't work... vintage is fine... I dont want anything new or shiny.
Thanks for your help I cant even play cassette anymore...

I'm looking for an old style of a record player. Like the ones the have the big flare-out speaker on top? You usually see them in movies and stuff. I don't know how else to explain it.
I have some records on vinyl that I wanted to play but I like the old style looks of those. I have no clue how much they would cost, or even how to use it. I hope you know what I'm talking about.

I have an old RCA radio. The radio is from 1927 and is pretty big. It is made of wood and has two cabinet doors in front that open up to the radio itself. It also has a record player on top. The whole thing is in mint condition and looks like i just bought it. I have done no work to it at all and everything works. I am just wondering how much the radio is worth so any information on it will be great thanks.

I have been looking for a certain record for quite some time. I just found it at a thrift store and couldn't wait to get it home. When I tried to play the record it wouldn't work on the player I have. The player that I have only plays 45s and 33s. Is there something I can buy to attach to the player to let it play 78s ? Other than buying a new record player

When I changed my stereo form CD to Phono to use my record player a loud D-------- noise came up. I tired playing a record but it's very quiet as this noise is so loud over it, I then tried turning it up but this noise gets louder with it.
This happened many years ago so I stopped using my record player. Then I tired again a few months ago it was 'fixed' somehow, now it's back,
Is it repairable?
Thanks

I'm trying to find out a bit more about the value of a piece that recently came to us. Its a stand alone, wood cabinet/table-type player that can play records, and 8-tracks, and i think has a radio. Any ideas?
The radio says sylvania. The record player say Garrard with a lion logo with a box around '2025T'.
