Recycle a Sony turntable and make it work from AC power PS LS60P

[@tayport1986]

Just did the exact same fix to my LX60 Had this from new and been in the loft for a long time .. it now rotates :) just awaiting the stylus to arrive

[@dynoshane2651]

Thanks mate I have one I need to connect power to and I'll use your vid to do it

[@MARTIN201199]

What about the audio output of this turn table? Is it line level or phono? In other words, does it need a phono preamplifier?

[@Christosseventy7]

Cool video - like the camera action. What amperage should the 12v adapter be, or does that not really matter?

[@GeorgeChristofi]

The turntable itself doesn't use much current. The adaptor I used was a 3 or 5amp unit but a 2a would do the job fairly comfotably.

Please advise where I can obtain a Jack as shown and will this permit for a standard USB connector?

[@GeorgeChristofi]

You can buy jacks from ebay and you can be any style you like. If you wanted to buy a USB one you could but I don't see any reason to as they are not a particularly good jack.

[@kennethhanna4405]

George Christofi thank you for your advice which is appreciated. Can you recommend the best 12v charger and jack to suit the turntable. Once again my thanks.

[@GeorgeChristofi]

@@kennethhanna4405 I used a cheap Chinese one purchased from ebay, the socket was a matching one again from ebay. when you order the power supply it should tell you the socket type you need.

[@stevenclarke5606]

Hi good video, just what I need to do. How do you determine the polarity?

[@GeorgeChristofi]

First you look to see if there is a ground wire connected internally to one of the power ports. If there isn't, put power to the motor.. if it spins the wrong way then you change the leads over.

[@stevenclarke5606]

Ok thanks, I’ll give it a go. I want to replace the amp but not the turntable, so hopefully this will solve my problem.

[@scherzomortale]

Many thanks for the video, i would like to do the same i am told i have to use a 12v dc adapter but am worried about buying the wrong one and blowing our estate up! any advice please....

[@GeorgeChristofi]

Pretty much any one will do, as long as it is capable of a couple of amps. Just make sure the plug matches the socket you fit to the deck!

[@radiotubes]

I've seen a few videos and I read this turntable needs a preamp

[@GeorgeChristofi]

Depends on your amplifier. It works fine with my daughters Cambridge Audio amp.

[@radiotubes]

@@GeorgeChristofi oh ok cause I have a separate sony amp with a phono imput

[@GeorgeChristofi]

Yes, hers is a separates system too.

[@yusufkhan-ig7dv]

Do you still have this turntable, and is it any good?

[@GeorgeChristofi]

Yes, my daughter still uses it. It isn't the best turntable in the world but it is adequate for the job of playing records.
