Record Player console

Been reading for a bit and this site has already been so helpful. Today I found a record player free and decide to grab it to resell possibly scrap, was curious if anyone has torn one of these apart an what I might expect to find.

Have a great day and thanks.

the ones i have scrapped had an ali turntable under the felt or rubber mat.

Yah can't post pics till you have a few posts in.

Turntables are something people are activelly seeking if they work or are high quality turntables.

If its got a steel platter its probably junk unless it can turn around at 77rpm (plays real old records)

If its a Ali platter & not rusty or corroded & still works I save them up & intend to sell them to a second hand record store that repairs & sells them.

High grade turntables will get you ca$h $$$ before you even think of doing anything else with it.

High grade turntable manufacturers that I know of from this list. >List of Turntable Manufacturers

I sold a 2nd hand CD player for NZ$100, value is $300 British pounds or NZ$500 or US$400. American made. This one > http://www.audioscope.net/images/marantz_cd_63-5.jpg New $2000? Marantz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rega. - I found a Rega planier II in a 2nd hand store for NZ$100. Its sat there for a few months untill I found out its worth NZ$300 to sell to a dealer, then it sold before I went back, easy $200 ****!
- So even major 2nd hand dealers don't know what they are worth...............

Technics - Dj turntable
Thorens. - Swiss made, mines a TD320, cost me NZ$350 in the mid 80's. Could sell it for ca$h now for, NZ$350.... & It has a NZ$125 Audiotechnia stylus (needle) on it. Say $400+ value all up.

I will say it again, even some major 2nd hand dealers do not know what they are worth. Check out the stylus on it too, they start at over $25 each & quickly go past $100.
This is something where you could make some good quick $$ when doing yard sales.

Back in the older day they used to call them "diamond" needles. I wonder if that has to do with the price? Diamonds aren't cheap.
