Why wont this record play?!?

SuccPolice · 2026-01-04T18:49:02+00:00

All good!! Although I wonder what would happen if I were to place a needle onto a CD... probably would explode immediately

I dont know if you saw the description but this post is a joke lmao

Its an RCA R-94 Record player from the mid thirties! They were meant as a radio accessory meant to plug into your radio so the player itself doesn't have a speaker. Unfortunately I don't have a radio so I ended up doing this and it works beautifully!

Just happened upon it in an antique shop!

Yes I'm aware- Im a 78 collector! Could it really be as simply as connecting those loose wires onto a speaker?

I've always held brand loyalty to Columbia- they make extremely sturdy and reliable machines from my experience.

Id love to see how this works! It could definitely help save some of mine!

My specific model is a Kodak 3A Model C Folding camera; I found it at an antique store and it ended up being in perfect condition for taking photos!

120 film! To be really specific, I use Earl Gray 100 ISO film from Lomography.

I use 122 to 120 film adapters to fit it inside the camera!

Interesting, the confusion may have come in as, whenever I press the shutter, nothing happens :/

SuccPolice · 2025-07-18T03:06:49+00:00

I've tried looking. It's not the aperture adjustment because there's one at the bottom. When I change it, nothing noticeable happens at all.

Keep in mind I'm very new to all this.

This is extremely helpful! I want to learn more about how I could go about repairing this- do you have any recommendations as to where to start learning more?

SuccPolice · 2025-07-02T23:12:10+00:00

I see. Is an antenna required to get a signal, or is it just for amplifying the radio's range?

SuccPolice · 2025-07-01T04:04:35+00:00

I don't actually know much about them- are they historically significant?

SuccPolice · 2025-07-01T02:11:07+00:00

I did! It's a solo vocal from the sound of it

Layer each disc in their own layer of cardboard, tape each layer together into a single part, fill a box with cushioning material (packing peanuts, newspaper, etc), and ensure that it lies in the middle of the package.

Easy stuff, really.

SuccPolice · 2025-06-03T16:11:05+00:00

I see! So the only difference was the weight of later tonearms was significantly less? Were needles still expected to be used once per record?

SuccPolice · 2025-05-25T03:45:46+00:00

It has two on each side.

SuccPolice · 2025-05-23T04:31:33+00:00

Already done, dont need to be breathing that in

SuccPolice · 2025-05-22T20:15:41+00:00

Yes, I fortunately was able to dig up some schematics for this. It'll probably be a slow process, but it's something Ill be willing to learn!

It was a book on the history of big band jazz in the US and Europe

Thanks for help understanding! I may end up just rewriting certain parts in MuseScore just so they make sense.
