Don't do something you are going to regret later. LP's have already almost outlasted CD's and you have a really nice TT there that is going to outlast many a cd-player's electronics.

Hey, I've switched to (HR) lossless/FLAC and HD years ago, but I'm never going to part from my vinyl.

I hear you, but the thing is that I am the original owner of this TT purchased 1986 or thereabouts, but have it in that long term storage for 10 years or so. I think it is time to let go. This unit deserves to find an owner who appreciates it playing his/her favorite vinyl and not being hidden away in dark case....

Cheers.

Greetings,
Im a Newbie here and if I understood correctly I wont be able to upload any pictures yet, anyway this morning I found an old
Philips 867 direct control :)

Not in mint state but nothing seems really broken, has a Philips 401 cartridge (not sure the part is called that, but in my native language it is called "element" )
with a stylus that might need replacement, the belt also seems a bit loose.
I haven't played it yet, im gonna try starting it up this evening.

I will ofc post pictures when possilbe ;)
And as you might of noticed my knowledge could use some work, but thats for an other topic.

Cheers

Welkom,
you can upload pictures elsewhere and link them between [ image ] file url [ / image ] tags (zonder spaties).

If you need a new needle: http://www.pickupnaald.nl/philips-gp-400-511ds-stylus.html and about the belt, there is info too: http://www.pickupnaald.nl/snaren/info-snaren.html

This guy knows a lot about it and can give you good advice. The needle is €19, belt ~€13 +€7 PP. It's where I buy my cleaning stuff.

Shipping costs would be an interesting number though....

Allright the Philips 867 seems to function, but it does need a new stylus.
I'll check two Hi-Fi shops in my hometown, otherwise order it online.

-the link provided has plenty of options, thanks.

I'll bet they won't be able or willing to help you (big fuss, low gain). But pickupnaald has the best prices and a large range of replacements and accessories. And I guess you won't be needing google translate since I know you live in Amsterdam :rolleyes: :D (hint for the uninformed: that was a joke, A'dam is just a city, the country is a lot larger than that).
