turntable/record player experts needed!!!?
hi guys i was in this vintage shop a while back and found a record player that i wanted as i'm a music lover and want to collect lps and here the crackling of the records but i'm having major amateur problems as i've never had a record player and i don't know how to set it up or what amp/speakers i need. 

my biggest problem is that i can't find anything on the internet about my specific turntable and it's quite old. i understand that it might not even work but it's worth a try and it was only £40. i need a replacement stylus but i have found the correct make for it so that's all good

so if anyone knows anything about how to get it all set up please tell me aha. the details are below, and this is all i know about it, sorry.

sony automatic stereo turntable system ps-lx220
model no. ls-px220
serial no. 601424
it is your lucky day! well almost...

i checked the website vinyl engine and the closest information i could find is for the sony ps-lx200, which should be for all intents and purposes the same as your model. the link is shown in source below. you will need to create an account and login and then you can download the manual for your table.

the replacement stylus for your tt is the atn3600, which is available at needle doctor, again the link is below. 

one final note about your comment, "i want to hear the crackling of the record". vinyl playback is not about hearing crackling, its about hearing the full spectrum of the recording which is only possible in an analog format. the crackling results from an old needle or damaged or dirty vinyl. there is no crackling when listening on a high-end table (see third link)
there are many sound-system specialists who could advise you on the best way to install a cd player in your crv. recently, when i wanted to fit a cd player to my 1997 bmw, i had to go to an aftermarket sound-system specialist because bmw no longer stocked the cd player that was compatible with the factory system. in the end i had to compromise. there was simply no way of doing what i wanted to do. for starters, try chris watson at central car radio in bentleigh. brother, you better get a manual. i think they teach a course in this at the local community college. seriously, i can't responsibly explain the procedure to you in a venue like this.

Perhaps the CD change drive motor or one of the tray opening gears is faulty and it doesn’t allow the tray to change or open.


Can you hear the motor at all when you try to change to a loaded CD that hopefully is already in?


Here’s a link to the ifixit [Panasonic SC-PM31 CD Player Replacement](/Guide/Panasonic+SC-PM31+CD+Player+Replacement/30774) guide, which may be of some help in gaining access to the CD player so that you can check what is happening. [@jeff](/u/jeff), i have created an installation guide that might help you. i’d recommend you go back to square one and follow the guide from the beginning. good luck and let us know how you make out.

<https://slo-sleuth.github.io/tools/installingautopsyonmacos.html> hi everyone, just to close this topic, i could get a proper power supply and in fact it was the problem..

thaks everyone for your time and help ! here is a good system, camera plus lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767600-reg/nikon\_d3100\_digital\_slr\_camera.html

please be aware that in some cases prices for cameras are prices for body only; the lens is extra.

and, stay away from the 'grey market' products. see owners manual. have added psu to above post. (i added specs because i knew someone would ask. however i think it's a software issue.)

unlikely that it's the psu.

the current psu is a hx750i, and the previous psu was a hx650i. swapped over a year ago at least. this is a recent issue.


good, a lot of times this is the psu. but with an excellent unit, that's far less likely.

were you monitoring temperatures at the time? was there something specific you were doing similar in both times? really intermittent things can be hard to nail down. if you do a web search for flex sdr-1000 you will find alot of info.

i am pretty sure you are going to need a pc with a parallel port, once upon a time there was a usb adapter available that worked for this radio, the driver is available but you will most likely not find the adapter.
i had to run windows 7 32 bit to get mine to work.
i used the version of powersdr from the ke9ns website called excalibur, if you can't find it i have it backed up on my nas. user manual
