This turns on, the platter spins, and I can hear sound through both speakers. However, there is a humming sound at all times while it is turned on. I have not tried to play an actual record because of the humming sound.

It’s a vintage piece of electronics that’s perfect for any audiophile or collector of vintage audio and video equipment. This record player is a featured refinement and can be found in the consumer electronics and vintage electronics categories. When I plugged it in and tested it, I heard the record play, but not from the speaker, as it made a loud humming sound then turned off. Hopefully someone out there can fix it.

This vintage Garrard RC80 turntable record player is a great addition to any home audio setup. With features like turntable connectivity, 45RPM and 33.3RPM speed settings, this player is perfect for vinyl enthusiasts. The brown color and Garrard product line add to the vintage feel of this record player. Despite this, the turntable still powers on and can be used for display or potentially repaired for use. Made in England in 1953 this Garrard RC80 is a valuable piece of audio history. When powered on it starts to turn.

For sale is a sought-after Signal Corps Public Address system. It includes a turntable with adjustable speeds from 33 1/3 up to 78 rpm. As the video shows, the record player powers up and the speeds will adjust upon setting. The turntable arm has a stylus/needle but an unsure of condition. The front of the record player has a panel to access tubes/fuses. The panel has two bolts with screw on caps to hold closed. One cap is missing and the existing one is loose. Panel does stay closed. The speakers have all cables but I could not hear sound from them when I placed an album on the turntable. I attached both cables to the front of the record player and the two bare wire cables to the speakers themselves. One speaker had electrical tape wrapped around the bare wires. The microphone cable and mike itself look almost unused. But, with the speakers not emitting sound, I cannot say for certain that it works. The phonograph and speakers are housed in their own wood crates and are very heavy. Located in San Antonio.
