   I have some 70s and 80s records, but not much records, as I’m more of a tape man. This was made I think in the 50s or 60s. THe 40’s records are 45 RPM.

   Like you I’m not so crazy about the music from the 40’s, I’m more of a fan of stuff rom the 80’s and 90’s, do you have many records from the 80’s and 90’s in your collection? When was this turntable made? I take it those records from the 40’s are 78’s, right? Nicr record player, you certainly hear a lot of sound from the stylus before the tube amplifier warms up.

   This record player is monaural, but my GE Wildcat is stereo, Trutone has a tube unit, GE Wildcat has a solid state, not tubes.

    Hi there,
    Thats a fantastic machine you have there. Such a shame they were never exported to England. I would love to own one like that. I see them on eBay US from time to time, but even if I imported one I couldnt use it. We use 240 volts @ 50 cycles. Never mind, I can still indulge my love of American 45s I have that Joan Jet you were playing, and have about 10 of those box sets that you have there. Thanks for sharing.

    At least the auto-changer doesn’t add considerable wow and flutter with each successive record being dropped.

    It’s probably then an AC motor. Damusician is better on record players than me and could probably know more what’s causing the speed to be fast. But if there is a 50 or 60 Hertz selector switch, switch it and see if it fixes the speed.

    well its portable so it folds up, the speakers fold in the back and then the turntable folds out in the front. you cant twist the speakers around so it all faces one way,.

    I’m not sure, if it uses an AC motor, then it might not work for this, but if it uses a DC motor, there may be a speed control. If it does use an AC motor and it runs off 60 Hertz and set to 50 Hertz or vice-vera, then it probably needs to be switched. Hope you could follow this…

    one thing that bugged me about the wildcats and other GE turntables-off was not off-it would make the changer go thru its end of record cycle,not just click off–i prefer voice of music,myself…
