70s Philips Portable Turntable (Record Player) Restoration

Philips portable turntable (record player) restoration from the 1970s. It came to a friend of mine from Germany. So I immediately sought for restoration. Great piece. The turntable plays 33, 45, 78 records. Supercool space age design with folding turntable. I tried to keep the originality as much as I could. The restoration of this turntable was great fun for me. I hope you will appreciate the result. If you like my restoration work, don't forget to press "like" button and subscribe to my channel.

1970'li yıllardan Philips marka taşınabilir pikap restorasyonu. Bir arkadaşıma Almanya'dan gelmiş. Ben de hemen restorasyonuna talip oldum. Harika bir parça. Elimden geldiğince orijinalitesini bozmamaya çalıştım. Bu pikap restorasyonu benim için çok eğlenceli oldu. Umarım sonuçtan memnun kalırsınız. Restorasyon çalışmamı beğenirseniz "beğen" tuşuna basmayı ve kanalıma abone olmayı unutmayınız.

Nice job there ! I'm more familiar with acousti phonograph restorations, but I've found a new hobby with those funky 70's players so your work helps ! I like they way you did things ; there are some people calling themselves "restorers" who just murder old stuff by scraping off everything and repainting/replating their own way, or overpolishing everything, but you did it just they right way. It looks as close as its original shape ! I know it's not always a loss, but even if an object is in "advanced" shape let's say, like was yours, and might not be irremplacable, I'm the kind to preserve things if they've made it this long in time ! Cheers ! ;)

Restorasyon kanalları arasında bir türk içeriğine rastlamak çok güzel. Böyle güzel içeriklerin devamını bekliyoruz. Sevgiler.

İnce işçilikle yaptığınız yenileme ile bize de ilham verdiniz. Beyazlatma için kullandığınız oksijenli suyu hemen deneyeceğim. Teşekkürler.

I'm impressed of what you are able to do. Keep up with posting these videos. And it brought back childhood memories seeing this record player again, we had the axact same model in my home.

[noeli]

I'm very sorry, take care of yourself and very good videos entertain me a lot, greetings

Just bought one of these from eBay, looks in ok condition, waiting for it to arrive. Quite therapeutic watching this. What do you use to clean all the plastic, just good old soap and water or something special?

Thank you for restoring my uncle's old turntable. After years it's alive again...nice work

[razikantorp-weglin]

Amazing work! I have the exact same turntable and the speaker stoped working. Any quick advice on what to look for?

[snoogiebug]

The funniest thing you can do as a 7 year old is play 45 rpm records at 78 rpm.

[thiago]

hello congratulations my friend, give me a tip please .... how to recover the colored plastic parts of these devices without being with a new painting.

[blokhet]

Yes great job, but what will you do with it? It is obsolete. Who will use it?

[zack]

Amazing job, I loved it, but, I believe if you have used clothes bleach, like Clorox, or, so, I'm sure it will work more than the Hydrogen Peroxide, I use it all the time.

[bonesable]

you still can play a few seconds without copyright.... so we have no proof on how it sounded....

[markwestley]

As a retired Audio Engineer I have little experience with the equipment you renovate which is why I find your work so fascinating.
I enjoy your excellent camera work and comments and attention to detail. As I am now partly disabled I get great enjoyment watching your videos so keep up the good work.
It would be really good if you could spend a little time letting us hear the restored equipment actually working.

Philips still employing in 1970s the old germanium PNP transistors ( I captured the schematic image @ 1:50 to better take a look ). I have a 1964 Philips portable turntable that employs more or less the same topology with germanium transistors.

Was just now FORCED to watch “Evil Doll Commercial” ….WTF What was even the Product

[serhatkurtay]

Good job man...you’re so patient and clever for this kind of staff..Bravo!

[robfriedrich]

I doesn't think, this would be from the 1970's. In this times a pickup with switchable stylus between micro and normal groove was unusual and every pickup has to be compatible to stereo records, real mono pickups destroy stereo records, can move only sideways, not vertically, as required by stereo records.

[ignitore]

perhaps the yellowed white chassis could be uv retrobrighted... I've got a device like this someone gave me years ago but the missing shell stopped me to restore. maybe I should search but they're not cheap as I remember.
