Philips Turntable

[julianm123]

Hello everyone,

I have an old turntable that belonged to my great-uncle. It is currently stored at my parents’ place in Heidelberg and has not been used for a long time.
The condition is not good: scratches, problems with the belt and the stylus, and there are probably other undetected issues as well.
An amplifier and matching speakers are part of the setup.
What should I do with it – repair it, sell it as-is, or something else?

Thanks.

If you know a good techie , have this TT repaired and let it sing. Belts and stylus are available in market. If it has no major issues then get it repaired.

Agree with Bhaskar. The speakers appear to be the HIFi International model so popular in India. The 202 TT appears to be a model somewhat like the 242. Should have a nice sound if restored.
