Anyone interested in buying my Phillips GA-212 Turn table with an Autophone VMS cartridge?

Is that an Ortofon VMS cartridge?

Wow! There's some rather pricey stuff for sale in their listings!

Facebook has some audio-specific classified groups. There are tons of folks interested in old turntables.

. . . any other year, I'd take it from you, but I've already got three turntables in the house.

Also known as the "poor man's Thorens".

May I ask what you are asking?

Replacing bad output relays in my NAD amp. Black IMO is new one. White Taiko is old one.




Awaiting another one.





I checked fuses, too. The two in the middle were wrong type (30-amp, 32V). Replaced them with nominal 10-amp, 250V ones.

This is the oldest 'music' I've got. It belonged to my parents and I still play it in the garage and love the sound.

Pretty cool. I've been looking for a neat table top vacuum tube radio to fix. Maybe, after this sound system is done.

My most vintage piece of electric gear... is a 1948 Fender Champion amp. Photo taken with my 1970s era Telecaster. I very nice guitar --- my second favorite electric guitar, at the moment.

Got turntable working. The Ortofon 2M Blue is quite a phono cartridge. Listening through head-cans, as speakers are still being reconed.
