FS: Calling vinyl fans ...

[smokeysmoo]

I've had this turntable for a number of years but TBH it's never been used, (got no vinyl), and it just came as part of a hi-fi system I bought at the time.

It's a Sony PS-LX56, (means nothing to me).

Looking for around £20 for it. (delivery to be negotiated).

@smokeysmoo my dad told me about these musical turntable thingy's !!

I think you may be a bit optimistic at £20. Not being funny, but it's worth approximately nothing - unless someone comes along to say it's a collectable vintage item of course !

A Linn or Rega or whatever is still worth (proper) money, or a Dual might be a small amount of money, but a generic jap item, little or nothing.

Someone might want it to record their record collection from, but that'd be "price of a pint" level
Not trying to "dis" your record dec, - but just saying...

You might be right as I simply haven't got a clue if it has any value or not TBH, but I know some people prefer their vinyl and thought it's worth a whirl before it gets slung on the tip!

Stick it on ebay

what... no 78rpm!?!?!?!


Seriously though... I'm with Profpointy... I'd just donate that to a charity shop or put it on a car boot sale for a fiver.

 

[smokeysmoo]

No worries peeps. I'll just stick it back on top of the system for now. It all still works but I've just got nowhere for it right now so it's all in the shed.

Has it got a usb outlet to allow it to be connected to a computer?

Had no idea it was 12 yrs old. Possibly not then

Not really much point in those (IMHO) - just plug the "tape out" socket on your amp to your "audio in" or "mic" socket on your sound card in th PC. The gramaphone obviously plugged into the "phono" socket on the amp - this also does a special equalisation (RIAA) which is part of the record playing industry standard as well as boosting the signal up from the rather low level of a pickup cartridge. Modern amps may not have a "phono" input, but the one previously used with the record player obviously will have one.
