Turntable Console How much does it cost to repair a record player?
I got an old record player at a garage sale today for very, VERY cheap. I checked it out and it seems only a few things need to be replaced. It is missing the needle and there is a small break in the actual turntable(the piece is still there). I was just wondering how much these things would cost for a "console" record player. Where would I take it to get repaired? It's a Magnavox but I don't know if they still have Magnavox speciality shops anymore?
Here is a picture of the record player if that helps any? http://static.flickr.com/80/283080914_5f4c343190.jpg?v=0
The stylus you might be able to get at Circuit City, Best Buy,
or Internet. The actual turntable - if you have to replace it- may
be a challenge. It's possible it may work as is. I don't know that
I would take it anywhere to get repaired unless you want a
working " antique "

Thinking of buying a turntable, what do I need?
I just need a general setup for playing records, not DJ-ing. I don't want a console with the speakers built in. What do I need for my setup?
There are two types of turntables. You can tell them apart by whether they have an earth lead or not.
If they have an earth lead, you'll need an amplifier with an earth lead next to phono plugs. This is because of the type of stylus the turntable uses; the output from this type is quieter and therefore requires more amplification compared to other sources (CD, tape, etc). It goes without saying - don't plug a non-phono deck into these sockets (usually RCAs) unless you like destroying expensive hi-fi equipment.
If they don't have an earth lead then these are the magnetic pickups. Because they're not earthed, they're more prone to dust. Many audiophiles reckon that the sound quality from this type is not as good. But they do not need pre-amplification and should not go into phono sockets designed for the earthed type - again, unless you like destroying expensive hi-fi equipment.
So, to sum up - amplifier, speakers and turntable (you can of course add on separate tuner, CD and tape player should you so wish). And make sure whichever type of turntable you get, the amplifier supports it. (I can recommend Kef speakers, by the way - I personally think they sound amazing, but a lot of professional DJs prefer Harman-Kardon, which sound quite dull until you turn the volume up to levels where I have to leave the room and hide...)
Anyway, a decent hi-fi shop will be able to advise better than I can - they do this every day (while I just walk past their window and drool at the valve-driven amplifiers, Kef speakers and transparent glass turntable in the window).
