I have an old ge stereo console from the 60’s. The turntable on it doesn’t rotate anymore and the controls in general don’t work that great. I’ve been trying to find a shop or online resources for some diy repair/replacement but have mostly come up short. I’ve also toyed with just gutting it and replacing with modern stuff. Just curious if it’s a fools errand to try getting these components repaired or not. I can try to find the specific model to share, just don’t have it handy at the moment. But it’s one of the fairly common mcm style consoles with receiver, turntable, and built in speakers.
Sorry if this is too vague, I can try to get more specifics once I get home from work.
No luck finding a schematic thus far, but even if we don’t, I think we can make a solid assumption on where to cut the signal from the record player and put in a switch there for BT line level signal (one position is the record player, the other one is BT/AUX/whatever-you-wanna-plug-in). +5V for that thing is a must, but you can get that from any old phone charger, so no trouble there 👍.
