The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This is a little electric gramophone I put together a short while ago, the motor is a Garrard 202A, it’s got quite a high end B T-H (British Thompson-Houston) articulated tonearm housed in a solid walnut cabinet I put together

The motor has been rebuilt, as has the tonearm, fresh rubber dampers and I wound a new 2.25kΩ coil, the output is a mono ¼ jack so it can be played through a guitar amp or into an interface or similar at line level, similarly can be played through an old valve radio

Plays and sounds remarkably good, and even the auto stop works perfectly

I’m asking £200 plus postage

Any questions feel free to ask

Here's a little demo I did a short while back, played directly into an audio interface into the computer

the 202A is easier to work on than the 202 as the governor complete can be removed without disassembly, nice looking player !
