Cheers radiotvphononut! A great video about making a pre-amp for those low volt cartridges. Good knowledge shared about the different circuits and a good history of some of the players and the differences. Enjoyed the whole video!!! Big Cheers!!! 🍻
That was a great video on the talking book machine. I went through a Voice of Music Record Player Model 321 1966 one tube 25EH5 a couple of years ago and it works well but has low volume. I plan on putting the preamp that you were nice enough to create and share in it to boost the volume.
Well done. I imagine a 10 meg z-taper (similar to a conventional log) pot, especially with a switch, is as rare as hen's teeth. I was surprised tapping off the cathode bias (for the FET supply) worked properly, but I have no skills in these designs.
I have a battery operated and AC portable solid state record player made in the 60's . I bought it off of eBay, because it was like the one I played when I was little. The AM Radio was fine. The phono was barely audible. I concluded the cartridge was bad. Bought a stereo cartridge off of eBay. I rigged it to fit. It was loud. I only used one channel, but it didn't matter, because I wanted to play my mono 45's. I was pleased it worked so well. The one tube wonders must have required 3 volts, while my portable worked with much less. I don't know what the cartridge outputs, but its supposedly a new cartridge from China. Your repair videos gave me the knowledge and confidence to try to fix my phonograph
The Fuji camera has a more sensitive audio microphone. The Canon wirh slightly better image and sound. The Kodak having the clearest image but quietest background sound pickup. Imo.
Thx Brian for showing us that interesting history of the talking book machine ❤.

2:55...the 2 transistors are connected as "darlington pair" circuit- and THAT configuration has a VERY high input impedance...

Thanks for clearing that up about the Places in the heart movie. I assumed it was accurate. But I didn't know the difference.
damn snail mail !
Bring back Radio Shack !!!
Sound quality: Best, Good, Fair with those cameras. This is listening with my smartphone.

I have an A-76
a 2 mil stylus would work for the older record
...from what I can see of the transistor circuit- I can't understand why it wouldn't work- maybe you got stuck with bad parts...(?)
What happen to the new camera!
WOOF...WOOF!
He mentioned that he had videos shot with the old camera that still needed uploaded.
...don't hold hold your breath...
