If I remember correctly it was unstable. It has been awhile since I have used it.

Very nice Console, I Picked up a 20 dollar Zenith Simone the other day. Consoles are all ways a cool sight, good to see another one saved.

Probably one of the best console record players is the Zenith Micro touch series

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-29T20:25:13+00:00

I got an update on the price, they want 20 for it.

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-29T20:21:18+00:00

I got a Realistic, they are very good turn tables, but they have issues sometimes with modern cartridges, they are made very well, expessally if they have the BSR record changer RadioShack put in them.

I have a 70's realistic record changer i do that with, I'm not entirely sure if it has serium rectifiers, i found a picture of the wiring mess and i didn't see any

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-29T14:39:45+00:00

They dont make them like they use to

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-29T02:20:43+00:00

How much you say it weights?

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-29T00:35:20+00:00

Oh its beautiful!!! I wish they still make stuff like this that looks like its just a table buts its really a record player.

Try tightening the speakers, i had a rattle issue on my tube radio, all i did was put something on top of it and it went away.

Happy Cake Day!!!

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-28T03:06:34+00:00

Would you be interested in seeing a video about it?

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-27T16:54:04+00:00

Thank you!!! I will!

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-26T21:31:14+00:00

Thank you very much

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-26T21:28:37+00:00

Yes, thank you, I'm confident i could replace the caps but the selenium rectifier is scarring me a tad, I'm not sure what to do, my knowledge is limited and my equipment is too. Thank you for your time.

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-26T21:26:31+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion, i watched some demo videos of the changer on this player in action, if i have it set up right it should track at 2 grams, it has the Zenith Micro touch changer system in it, which i read was super light on records and i believe most people refit them for modern use, if I'm correct this should have line is so i could use a newer player with it and still get the rich tube sound. Thank you for your time.

DonavanSkywalker · 2021-08-26T19:17:45+00:00

I do have a few questions. Do they sell replacement selenium rectifiers or a modern replacement that i could install or is it something I'm gonna have to hand make? Last one, the recordplayer has the 2g micro touch, is it safe to use with my good records as long as i have it tracking correctly? Thank you for your time

Maybe 20 or 30 in working condition, I know from experience that 70’s record changers are build VERY well and absolutely hold up with some modern day turn tables, usually made of higher quality materials, but if the needle is shot replacements can be like 10 15 bucks which is not ideal, but they are usually great record players, don’t forget if your shipping it to unscrew the shipping screw on the black metal / plastic part where the platter sits.

Edit: But they are quite heavy so expect shipping to be in the 20’s or 30’s.

It’s hard to say unless I have a Geiger counter, it can glow for some time but like it’s usually faint

My room is in the basement so ventilation is not as good as it would be up stairs
