That reminds me of my Weber Kettle Grill. The main problem is what to do with the lid!

This is one of those magical moments (they never happen for me LOL). The cool-factor on that piece is through the roof.
Here is some information on the space design piece maybe worth a look, especially what modern cartridge if you want to swap it. At least try a new needle to protect your records.
The design is mega. I found a former eBay deal from years ago in Great Britain for around 500 £

I saw her carrying it and that crossed my mind as well. Jetsons or original series Star Trek.
Found out it does this;
Much appreciated! I have a beautiful Dual to play records on, but maybe in the dark winter days I might try to freshen up the turntable with new bits.
Wow!
This one sold for $1200 CDN!

Thanks! I may just do some research and tumble down this rabbit hole after all.
Literally a story of one man's trash is another's treasure.
I'm all digital but still have my LP's.
This popped up on the TV show "Dark Winds" last week (great show, set in the early 70's), sitting on a TV console, with a rotating rack of 8-track tapes.
I did upgrade to this Bluetooth receiver adaptor, it allows me to play FLAC files, and I can notice a difference between MP3's.

Love that 8-track tape player. I failed to mention that I also have a blue tooth set up on my 70's gear that allows me to play digital music when I want to...
A terrible picture of my setup. Marantz 2220B with a Sony Cd player (of some sort) sitting on top. Record player is my parents old Dual 601. I have the cover, but remove it as I can't lift it when it's in the cabinet.
Thought I might ask you guys about this one.
This is the bottom of the Apolo 611 I had pictured above. I got these speaker wire adapters for the base, but they stick out too far, and the stereo doesn't sit properly with them in. I'm also worried about breaking an input or something on the base.
On the plus side, both speaker channels work, and doesn't sound too bad from the Klipsch R-14M speakers I stole from the Marantz.

Use something like these, off course yo need to solder the wires to the RCA connector, maybe a drawback.
I don’t know where to get those in the US maybe here: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kobiconn/174-0252-E?qs=xePrLHCjqYuxesZ3E39l2g==
When I married my wife, I got rid of all my vinyls. Replaced them with CDs. I still don't understand the love of vinyls. OK, vinyl sounds warmer, but with software, digital aren't all that bad. And no snap, crackle, pop.
That's definitely something I need, with more of an angle on there. I was also looking at something like this, with a plug built into existing cable.
Then this probably isn't the thread for you
That's kind of it. With technology changing how music is consumed, going from CDs to digital streaming, we are still chasing that 'warm' vinyl sound.
Unfortunately most of the CD players can’t really deliver, what’s written on the CD. The output stages are poorly designed and often sonically overcorrected in middle class players.
Some of my LPs played on my record player are better than same stuff on CD, not much crackle on those.

That’s also nice but still missing the angled connector. Just measure the height you need to put the connector with the wire under the bottom of the enclosure to make shure it’s fitting under.
