yes, sir. that's it. if i'm not mistaken, i think it's circa 70s pa. although it has no cassette deck. (di pa yata uso cassette tapes nun. )
will this be more expensive and time consuming as compared to just buying a dedicated TT at the buy and sell section? if so, i might just ditch the idea of detaching the TT from the stereo.
will try to post the details and, hopefully, some pictures of the unit.
a picture would be great or just the model for us the google on. but i think it will just boil down to my recommendation that you'd be better off getting a 2nd hand or NOS TT in the marketplace.
the fun part in making the decision is the spec of the TT that you'd like to invest in. my personal opinion is (to get you started)
* a decent brand with a direct drive motor (less maintenance for analog newbies like me)
* semi-automatic,
* 1/2 mount cartridge (availability of cart and stylus - 1 of the most important things to take note of, cuz might spend more money on the these than the TT itself),
* wooden plinth (much classier to look at - at least for me),
* multi-volt or 220v (reason - you want to save as much money as you can. saved money can be used to buy a new cart or stylus rather than a xformer. also, you can just plug the TT to the back of your amp's 220v outlet, or vice versa for 100/110v amps)
* good cosmetic condition
* should have a ground wire aside from the 2 RCA's (much better if the RCA is not permanently fixed, RCA female plugs preferred)
* speed selector
* test test and test the TT before you buy. there are a lot of small issues in a TT that could be a matter of big concern once you bring it home.
hope this helps
