Turntable modification help...

mihir · #1 03-10-06, 04:21 PM

I have a very old, 1980s vintage Philips turntable. Want to hook this up with my Hi Fi, but this has a 5 pin audio out for which now there seem to be no cables available. Can someone help to a) either guide me to where I can get these cables or b) help me get the audio out format changed to RCA.

Also, have a stack of 78 rpm records, and my turntable does not play them - has only 45 and 33 1/3 rpm. Is there any way I can convert the turntable to also play 78 rpms ?

You can easliy get a DIN to RCA convertor for your turntable. This will allow you to connect the turntable to your amp.

I don't think you can change the speed though.
