philips 212

We're cleaning out my father in law's house and I was asked if I want a hand made stereo cabinet that was originally an apple wood chest of drawers. I started going through the equipment and was stunned to find a Philips 212.I won't be able to try it out until I get back to Colorado. And that...

I picked up a Philips 212 turntable for $15 at a thrift. I got it working and will do additional servicing in order to re-sell it. I figure if I get it reliably running, it would be a great turntable for a beginner. Currently, it has a Ortofon VMS 20 E cartridge, but I'd like to keep this. I'm...

I've been going through a couple of TTs I picked up used--in some cases very used--and I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips. I'm generally more comfortable with troubleshooting and maintaining electrical components and could use some advice on what parts to oil, what to grease, and...

So I've been working on this Philips 212 recently. I picked it up and it seemed to work OK as is powered up and I could select between 33 and 45, etc. I didn't think much of it. There were two axial electrolytic caps that I decided to replace. Upon removing the PCB one of the trim pots simply...

I am going to be refurbishing a Philips GA-212 turntable I picked up recently and I am making a list of parts to acquire. Right off the bat I will be be replacing the two axial capacitors along with the light bulbs as it seems that the capacitive button circuit and auto stop requires them to...

Hi all, I have an old Philips 212 which I have been using on and off since I bought used it in the late 80ies. I have been satisfied with its sound and have had little trouble with it. I have changed light bulbs and belt a couple of times, changed from DIN to RCA and gotten rid of the grounding...

Hello everyone! I'm new to Audiokarma. I have a Philips Ga-212 turntable. When I got the turntable it needed lamps and a new power switch. I replaced the lamps for led's and installed a new power switch. It performed amazingly. Then one day I was listening to a record and the speed suddenly...

Hi all, A friend of mine gave me this turntable in a bad shape and in non working condition, so I thought I could share the work process on it. It has a ton of problems: NOT POWERING UP Power switch broken Missing bottom screws (so basically falls apart) Scratched and bent face and metal...

I mean, what do you say that hasn't been said? lol... I have learned a few things here and hope I can impart some wisdom (might take me 20 seconds).... in any event, having an intro forum is so much more civilized than just jumping into a question. Anyway, a little bit about me... This is a bit...

I'm looking at three turntables on craigslist. I currently have a Philips 212 that works but needs RCA cables replaced as they occasionally short out. I'm in the market for something a bit heavier duty and reliable and have narrowed in on three technics tables on CL: 1. Technics SL-23 - $100 -...

Hey gents, I am trying to repair a Phillips 312 turntable. Power supply is good. Motor not getting power tho. I noticed a transistor marked p736 (or p749) is burnt. I can’t remember which is burnt but I need both. Where can I source these? I checked mouser but could not find anything similar...

Hey all, been lurking for a while, but my first post. I came in to a set of RSE's with EMIT tweeters for the lovely price of $0. Finally got a chance to test them out and uh oh... no foam surrounds and what looks like a blown voice coil to my untrained eye. I did something I know I shouldn't...

Hey guys, this is my second post, and the journey to turntable-Dom is almost over for me. After a lot of research, I managed to get a Philips 212 off off the bay of "E". I would have just waited for a local offer, but I love about 100 miles from anything that isn't red neck USA, so that would be...
