I recently purchased an old record player from a thrift store in Germany, and can't find out what it is called. I was told it is dated to the 1950s, but I'm unsure if its a gramophone, phonogragh, victrola... or just record player. The name is Röger on the name of the cabinet it is built into, and the word Dual is on the turntable itself. the light comes on, but their are more wires to connect, but nothing to connect it to... I think it may be a speaker connection. It goes from 16, 33, 45, and 78 play speed. I was told by a friend the cabinet it is built in is from WWII. That is the time the wood model was popular.
I would be glad to send a photo via email if anyone thinks they can assist.... Thanks
The turntable itself is actually newer than WWII, and more than likely on a guess- mid fifties to early sixties.
What you should find is at least one shielded wire coming down from the tone arm, you may have two. Or two wires inside of one shield. The latter two descriptions are the more popular configurations for stereo.
You will also have 4 wires coming out of the motor, as it is more than likely a dual voltage type (110-120/220-240), with one, maybe two wires leading up to a switch within the changer mechanism.
You may or may not have another 2,3, or 4 wires- these would be switched power for the amp, preamp (if a magnetic style cartridge) and a lead that would connect to the radio section, which would be shut off whenthe turntable is in use.
If the tone arm is slender in its midsection, you have one that IS mid fiftes or newer. If the tone arm is rather thick and heavy in appearance, it would date prior to about 1955 back to about 1951.
If you try to connect it o a modern stereo, you can. I am assuming you see no tubes within the base.
: Need help identifying a record player just purchased.
