    ITT-Nokia Turntable/Cassette player Mystery

    Hello everyone! New here. I've recently acquired this music player and I can't find a single piece of information on the internet about it.

    Audio Technica Cartridge ID

    I got my record player (RP-3000) from a family member, but I don't have a ton of info on it. I'm trying to ID the cartridge, but aside from the giant Audio Technica logo I have no clue what it is. Anyone recognize this or at least able to point me in the right direction?

    Good evening. I'm new to this forum but I do have loads to share and ask. My first inquiry involves my Realistic Lab-49 turntable. It spins well and plugs in, but the needle is so old and worn that it needs to be replaced. My trusty ATLP60X has wet the bed for good, so I figured I could...

    Hello I recently acquired a RCA Victor from I believe either 1967 or 1968 model # VHP70E.

    Rewiring turntable power harness for Magnavox Entertainment center

    I recently purchased a vintage Magnavox cabinet—all original—the radio works great, but the last owner took out the turntable and dropped a new one in (and connected it to the FM/MX channel). It's a basic one—that's literally the name of it. I started tinkering inside and found the turntable...
