- What to look out for on a power supply to check that one you have or are about to buy is suitable for your machine.
Note - I have tried to be as clear and as comprehensive as I can - but if you are still not sure what to do - please find somebody who can help you. Electricity is dangerous and can damage your machine and cause you injury if you get it wrong. Thanks

Brilliant video, nice talk through. One thing I found on some of those Christmas Light power supplies I have been looking at recently, although they are marked DC, the rectifier bridge is in the flasher control unit. The transformer unit has no rectification and is feeding out AC. I guess the justification is they are linked by the cable with not intermediate plug and socket. The other thing I have learned is the "DC" icon with the solid line above a dotted line is pulsed DC (PDC). The current does not change direction so it is DC but it is not the same "constant or smooth" output as a battery.
Thanks 👍😀. Pulsed DC makes sense, I suppose because even with rectification and smoothing there could be significant ripple on the voltage. That would account for why the symbol looks the way it is too! 😉. Interesting about the Christmas light power supplies too. Definitely something to watch out for if you are repurposing them 🤔
The 5.2V power supply would be suitable to power a 5.0V device, assumping polarity is correct and output current capacity meets spec. There is a small bit of headroom built into electronics.
Conversely, most electronics will work with slightly lower voltages. 4.5 volts DC would probably operate that player without issue.
loved it! this more "explanatory" kind of video really suits you
Thanks 👍😀. Its an idea I have been meaning to do for a while. Actually wrote a script for this one, which is very unusual for me! 🤔😉😅
You can usually get away with a lower current rating, especially if it is only a little bit and especially on record players. The power brick and specifications are for the worst case scenario like listening to a 78 turned all the way up, where as a lower volume of a 33rpm disc will use substantially less current.
Yes they should be worst case. The main point I'm trying to get over is how to read the labels on equipment so that it's more than just luck whether it works and indeed whether it works for any length of time. I've come across several people recently who have broken their record players by not understanding this stuff at all, and also some instances of very hot power supplies which weren't really suitable for the equipment they were being used with. Thanks
@@mrrgstuff Well, I certainly agree the average person doesn't know this stuff and may benefit from seeing the video. I'm just pointing out that you can sometimes get by with a brick with a lower current rating.
@@tarstarkusz I'm fortunate enough to have some bench power supplies, so I can always check the power draw of a piece of equipment before choosing a replacement power supply, if I am in any doubt. I agree these units won't need the full power in all cases, however for those who are less experienced in this area its safer to recommend going with the manufacturers recommended rating. It should at least stop people spending good money on completely unsuitable power supplies which either don't work, don't work for long, or could damage their equipment or them. An under rated or over volted power supply may work, but for how long, and something overheating may go unnoticed until too late. For people who have more experience and understanding, this video is going to be a bit simplistic 😊. Thanks for watching and your comments are much appreciated.
accidentally used a cord w too much voltage and my record player started smoking so i unplugged it, will it still work or is it broken now
It is impossible to be sure. The smoke is from the damage the extra voltage was doing to the circuit board. It might work if you use the correct cord, but even if it does, it might not work for long. Also, to be safe it would be best to get it checked out by a competent repair person to make sure it is still safe to use
Thank you for explaining. This is so helpful
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks 👍 😀
I need a cord for my crosley i bought from someone and they promised to bring me the cord and then said they can't find it. Any idea where i can get one? Mine is a newer one. 2021 model i think. CR8005D-BU
I got one off Amazon but after watching this video…I’m thinking the issue is with the cord
I have the wont turn on problem but it is plugged in with the power cord that came with it💀💀💀
💀 same.
Did you know what to do? I have the same problem, I got the power cord that came with but it wont turn on 🤕
Do you know how to fix it or anything
The first step is to figure out whether the power supply cord/cable is OK. This video covers that. Replacing this is the simplest thing to try, though it won't help if the fault is in the record player unit itself. If the cord is OK, then this following video might help, though don't open up anything you are not comfortable with, especially anything mains powered:

Defo a good reference video that I will come back to in the future no doubt as always losing these power supplies and wondering what to use... thanks mate, useful video...
Thanks 👍😀. It turned into a bit of a longer video than intended, but hopefully it will stop some people being unnecessarily disappointed 😉
Loved it! thank you... this video is very helpful.🙂
Great. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 😀 👍
The cable I’m using matches the record players stuff and I plug it in and I try to turn it on and it won’t work and I’m pretty sure this cable came with the record player what do
First thing to do is check the power supply to see if it's working at all. Use a multimeter for this. The first few minutes of this following video may help:

What do I do if I already used too strong of a cable? It doesn’t turn or play anymore. How can I fix it?
Probably you will need to find someone to fix it for you. Using an incorrect PSU can burn out the circuit. It may be cheaper just to buy a new machine unfortunately, unless you have a friend who knows how to do it

I looked online for a replacement power cord for mine and they all look different. Can i use any of them? They all say they are for my model no.
If the seller lists the model number of your machine, then it should be OK. However, you should also check the voltage and current/amp rating as mentioned in the video. Sometimes, wrong ones get sent out, and it also needs to be one intended for use in the country you are in.
So my record player is very quiet and it wasn’t like this until I started using Bluetooth and now it won’t play sound on Bluetooth, it also doesn’t play loud at all what do I do?
Are you getting any sound at all out of the speakers? When you were using it with Bluetooth did you possibly have it very loud and then suddenly it went quiet? If so it's possible something inside has blown and the amplier or speakers no longer work at all.
When playing a record you will always hear it very quietly, even when the amplifier or speakers are broken (or the volume is turned right down) as there is some direct noise to your ears from the stylus/needle.
You should be able to tell if it's the amplifier or the speakers by trying the headphone socket, however either way you will need someone to repair them, or you will need to get a new player. If it is new, it would be worth taking it back to the supplier and trying to get a refund or exchange.
As the Bluetooth doesn't produce any sound, I don't think changing the stylus and/or cartridge will help, as it sounds like using the Bluetooth has killed the amplifier or speakers.
can i use a 12v 0.75a ac/dc plug on a 12v 0.5a???
If the record player has 0.5a on its label, then having a higher ampage value (0.75a) on the power supply unit will be fine. Obviously, I can't check if everything else is right, but basically, the voltage and polarity need to match exactly. If in doubt get someone with experience of this to check your equipment in person
@@mrrgstuff good because i already plugged it in
Hello, I have an AudioTechnica LP60x and I accidentally used another cable to plug to the turntable, now it won’t work help :(
I've looked up this model of turntable and as far as I can see it takes a 12v psu. If you have plugged in one with a higher voltage, you may have blown an internal component and you will need to get it repaired. If the one you used was 12v or less, it may be coincidental that it has stopped working, presuming of course that you are now trying to use the correct one. There is a little info here which might help: www.audio-technica.com/en-us/atpt-lp60xpsu
Hope you get it sorted
what if i already used it and it’s already burned out?
Unfortunately, it is probably cheaper just to buy a new record player, unless you have a friendly repair person handy.
That was different
Indeed 😀👍. It was an idea bouncing around in my head after picking up the 2 suitcase ones. I've also tended to find videos on these type of players do well. Thanks
@@mrrgstuff videography and graphics, fancy
@@Mrpurple75 Scripted as well, which is unusual for me! 🤔😉😅Thanks 👍😀
