ossieram Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 My wife decided to treat me to a 1970 Philips record player to play my old vinyl on but did not realise it needed speakers and an Amp. Does anybody know somewhere decent to go to sort these or have any advise on the best to get? It's a Philips GF818. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 As lesterram said best place richer sounds best place. Ring them and ask if you can bring the turntable to try out options, I expect they will be ok with that, always had excellent help from them.

LesterRam Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I love record players, can't beat the sound. You can buy speakers with in-built amps, the staff at Richer Sounds are fantastic and have a vast knowledge to call upon, you got me going now you bugger, I want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I haven't seen those connectors before, you might be best finding an old pair of speakers and just see if it works, they look a bit like these.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PIN-DIN-CONNECTOR-INLINE-SOCKET-suits-BANG-OLUFSEN-SPEAKER-CABLES-/321069295624?hash=item4ac138a808:m:m6x9PjgkQ6kl4EVN-joBejg I don't remember having to amp 1970's record players be honest with you, this model similar to yours is amped. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-60s-RARE-Philips-GF-810-Record-Player-Turntable-with-AMPLIFIER-teak-wood-/282241887634?hash=item41b6ed6d92:g:gGoAAOSwdGxXIlHr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
