I have a vintage 1960ish record player that spins properly but has no sound. The arm of the mechanism has a, black and red, audio wire coming out if it. I want to know how to hook this specific audio cord into an independent amp? I don't want to use the phonographs built in speakers or amp. I do however want to use its arm and needle. I also should note that the phonograph has no output plugs. Please help me if you can. It would mean allot to me.

My cousin used to have an mp3 player that would connect to where the speakers to my computer hook up to. We would play a music player with her mp3 hooked up to the computer and start recording the music like that. It wasn't a usb cable it was more like a cable that would go in a mic, speaker hole on the computer. What mp3s do that 'cause I'd like to get one.

I saw this record player at a record store in the loop the other day and I really want to save up for it. Always wanted one. But I'm clueless as to what I need to do to make it work. Do I need speakers? A receiver? (I'd prefer to minimize cost). Sorry I can't help being an idiot it's my generation's fault.

whats a good record player that has speakers that can be placed where i want, not one of the crosley ones with the built in speakers. something that can play my old LP's
i forgot, i want something that can go kinda loud, but not too expensive

i have a 70's-80-'s turntable and i wnat to hook it up to make sound come out of it. ive seen others hooked up but i dont know what they use. from what ive seen the turntable sits on a larger box, im assuming this is a reciever. if it isnt some correct me. then from the reciever the speakers are plugged into that. right?

i've tried the i-sound recorder but I dont know how to use it. I just want to record a song internally from my computer without the noise of traditionally recording the speakers with a microphone. Thanks

i've been lookin fer a record player fer only bout a week and i'm wondering where i can find a cheap one that probly used, but works. i have tried tha used stores u know tha uh thrift stores, i found 2 but one tha needle was broken and fell of easily with barely touching it and tha other they wanted like 30 dollars. another thrift store wanted eighty dollars fer one ... tha owner of that thrift store said that one of record players he had was only 10 dollars but u had to also buy tha speakers and a machine that went along with it and that brought it up to fifty dollars. where can i find a record player fer a low price?

I know i would need a receiver? but they are 0+ is there a cheaper way? note- these would be in my room on shelves so a Home theater system isn't really practical. also if the receiver was small that would be better so i could put it in my small cupboard with the speakers on the floor

I can't find a software that will actually record audio being played from a media player on my computer. The recorder will only play from my webcam and I did try to set it as default windows, microphone or speakers but none of those work. I used camstudio which worked for me but now it don't.

I have a Hacker Centurion Record player (SP 25 MII), id like to link it up to new speakers or even play it through my hi-fi. Can someone tell me what leads I need or if i will need to modify any parts etc? I think it was baught in the early 80s.

Thanks, v much, I had the record player after my grandfather and would very much like to get it in working order!

I'm 27 and for the last 10 years or so I've been interested in purchasing a record player, I used to mess around with my Dad's growing up but that eventually broke over the years. I have alot of his and my mom's records from the 60's and 70's that I'd love to be able to listen to again, along with some of my own that I'm collecting.

I don't want to spend too much money, maybe 300.00 at the most. I don't have much experience in this audio field so I'm not even sure where to start, I know I had a turntable, a receiver and some speakers back then, not sure if that's still the same setup. Any help would be welcome. Thanks!

I'm not too savy when it comes to turntables, but I'd like to get one that doesn't need seperate speakers. I'd like one that has them built in, and I don't want any modern players with it (cd/ipod) just a plain ole record player. Where would be the best place to find one, antique stores, ebay, craigslist, and what do I search/ask for?
wow i just realized it was in cricket... yea i thought i clicked music... hmmmm... sorry guys

I have a record player. It's an Audio Technica and it's new not vintage. What do I need to be able to listen to records on it? I'm guessing speakers and a something to amplify a sound.

If I'm going to goodwill to find a receiver what ports do I need to make sure it has on the back? And speakers?

I bought a used record player and have no idea how to use it. There is one piece that looks like it snapped where the needle and its casing meets the arm. It sort of just hangs there with wire exposed. Would I be able to super glue the two pieces together? Right now there is a long arm like this --------- and a hockey puck shaped piece with the needle under it like this ---/ How exactly do I use this player? Its a changer, so it holds 6 records at a time. I put the records on it and turned the start switch. A record dropped, but the arm didnt move. Are they supposed to move or am I supposed to manually put the needle on the vinyl? I tried it and it played, but because it was hanging, it skipped at places. I notice when I play with the volume dial, it works but its extremely static (the speakers). How do I adjust this? Also, will the vinyl having some dust effect how it plays. Its not horrible but I was wondering if that would make a big difference because it seems they get dusty easily. I would like to get this thing working myself instead of taking it somewhere to be repaired. Thanks for all of the help!
It plays all lengths and speeds and its an older set from the 70s...I ended up supergluing the stylus back onto the tone arm and it automatically starts and drops onto the proper place on the record now. Thanks !

I don't want to be stuck with the built in speakers, I'd like to be able to add external.

I have about:
10 speakers
3 old tube tv's
2 receivers
and a record player

These items are at least 30-40 years old

What can I do with them, where can I sell them, do they still have some monetary value, donate them....etc? Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
Sorry I needed to correct the previous details:

I want to listen to my vinyl records and i want to know what system to get. Does a turntable need speakers to listen to it? If it does then i might just have to get a record player. Just something that you can put your record on it and listen right then and there.

I want to be able to play an old childrens album (45), but obviously need a record player. So, when I buy the turntable, how do I hook it up? Can I hook it up to play through my computer's speakers via onboard audio? Or do I need a separate receiver?

i have this record player and im an idiot when it comes to speakers. i would like ones that would fit into the front speaker hole thats labeled there but i dont see any that plugs into that. if i could get links or something it would be much apreciated. thanks

Hi!

I have a general electric stereo, phonograph, 8 track system. Now, the volume works, but it doesn't work correctly.

When I pop the on and off knob out, which is also the volume knob, I receive a lot of static and "pop" from the speaker. Only one speaker seems to be having any sound. Sometimes when I use the stereo both speakers work. This tells me both speakers work. But when I use the phonograhp or record player, it mutes the left side speaker.

This system is about 37 years old. It's clean inside and out, the record player works fine. The only problem is the volume.

That's as much information as I can provide.

Thank you in advance!

I'm looking into buying my mother a vintage turntable for christmas. Being a 16 year old youngin', I know absolutely nothing about them. I want to play vinyls, lps, and of course, records. Also I don't want the type that plays CDs and is all 'refurbished' fake vintage. I'd really like to get a genuine record player, with a wooden cover.

I'm looking on E-bay, but I'm weary of the condition. I don't really know what to look for in deciding what 'good condition' is. And this sounds stupid, but how does the sound come out of the turntable? Do I need to buy separate speakers? What are some reliable brands? I think Dual is a brand, right? Are there key terms I need to know when looking for turn tables? C'mon oldsters, school me!!

Hope there are some antique radio buffs out there...I have a mid 1940's Sparton radio/phonograph.....the thing works perfectly except that the phono produces no sound (or very little sound) I tried a new needle ...I know the speakers are ok cause the radio sounds fine...any ideas? These old tube radios are a mystery to me...I just like refinishing the cabinets....thanks.

I left my ex fiance August of 2008 for reasons of abuse. His father has an old house that is used for storage, which is where my ex and I had a lot of our furniture and other things stored. When I left, I did not have a truck to get my things, and he said my things weren't going anywhere and I could go by and get them at any time. Over the next couple of months I'd gotten all of the clothes and everything I could fit into my car. I would call him to let him kno I'd be there to get the rest as soon as I could find a truck and trailer to use, and he replied by saying it was fine, that he wasn't worried about it. At the end of April, I moved back to mom's and was going to finally get my things (almost 9 months later). All of a sudden, mom gets a phone call from the people who live across the road from where my things are stored. The woman said that my ex was loading all of my things on a trailer and taking them somewhere. By the time I got down there (an hr away) he had dumped most of my things at his uncle's saw mill to bury them. There was nothing I could do. My dressers were torn apart and busted, big shelves that were hand built by my father who had passed away almost 5 years ago when I was 16, my grandmother's antique vanity was chopped up and glass from the mirror was strown all over the place. Everything destroyed. He came back there and told me that my charcoal grill was at his friends house in henderson, and that the 4 ft tall stereo/record player and speakers that my parents bought when i was a baby was in storage in the next town with all of the records that go with it. Me and my mother waited and waited, and he said he couldn't get in touch with the guy to get it and said he'd take it to my mom's. I haven't heard from him since that day. I've called constantly, left messages, and I still don't have that 00 piece of equipment which is more sentimental value than anything, or my grill. Is there anything I can do? Its now been over a year since I left him, and 5 months since he destroyed everything and gave those things away. Oh, and he also took my washer and dryer off for scrap metal. Is there anything I can do? I worry about this night and day, I have got to do something!
