My dad came by yesterday and dropped off his two old record players, one Dual and one Thorens, with a promise that I can have his entire record collection if I want  None of the players work (i.e. spin) as far as I can tell. Dad recommended I get them serviced at the hi-fi store in town, but is there anything I can check myself first? The store option sounds like it might get expensive.

How was it packed? I've been considering buying records online, but I'm afraid it'll arrive cracked or folded or something.

I'm picking up my newly renovated player tomorrow (), but it's too wide to put in the bookshelf with the rest of the stereo so I need to put it somewhere else. Are there extension cords for this purpose? I was going to ask in the store, but I thought it would be better if I had a look-around online first. e. something like this should work right?

Ron Burgundy posted:The reason you don't hear much about extension cords for turntable leads is because the turntable-amplifier connection is extremely susceptible to the introduction of noises and should be kept as short as possible. The signal along this run is really really weak and it massively amplified at the receiver. Any introduced noise on this section is also greatly amplified. If you really must do it you will also need to run a ground wire. Any small gauge wire should do the trick. Well gently caress, that doesn't sound promising. I might just end up moving the whole stereo instead. Thanks for the heads-up.

Arrived home to find that my dad had been around to drop off his record collection. Three crates of mixed genres, lots of classical, lots of 80's rock and pop. The complete Beatles discography. I love my dad

Is the player standing on a level surface? I had really lovely sound from mine at first, because I had to rig it up on a chair temporarily. The seat of the chair was sloped and therefore the needle couldn't get an even reading of the disc.
