![]() ![]() I could have sworn I saw a thread here about someone else wiring a Garrard 3000 to be stand alone, but none of the search terms I tried found it. ![]() The safety ground protects me, and the fuses help protect the turntable. What I am trying to say, Is that I want to improve the circuit to better protect the turntable and myself. I also realize that the table should never have a wall cord plugged in at the same time as the amp power cord. ![]() ![]() I realize the fuse in this orientation will only work if the table is powered by the wall plug instead of the amp. I also need to figure out what the correct fuse would be to use, for a Garrard 3000. I intend to give it a EMI filtered C14 socket with a built in fuse holder, however I need to figure out which wires to connect this way. That said, If I am altering the circuit in this Garrard, I want to improve it the best that I can. Anyway, I know surge protectors are the answer to power surge related concerns, and all my stuff is plugged into them. I've learned, just because something is supposed to be insulated, or was at some point insulated, doesn't mean it actually is, years later. I've also encountered things that developed grounding issues, like PC towers and those old pot metal power tools. I have seen multiple power surges burn, sometimes literally, electronics in homes. Impact: Frequency of 60 to 80 beats / min, acceleration of 250m/s2ĭoes the insulation resistance matter if a connector is rated at 200 volts and will only receive 110VAC? For this purpose, isn't the only info I need the max voltage, max current, and the contact resistance? Vibration: vibration frequency 10 ~ 100Hz, acceleration 100m/s2 This gold plated one offers acceleration force rating, but not the voltage. Seems like the information given is all over the place with these. If I can get a female panel mount for the amp power output, and a male panel mount for the turntable power input, I think that would be a safe patch cable, provided I can find some 4 wire extension cord.Ī connector something along these lines. They seem to have high enough voltage ratings. I thought about using 4 pin CB microphone type connectors, which lead me to the GX16 aviation plugs. Does anyone have a suggestion for an exterior mains current 4 pin cable? Is there a connector commonly used for this purpose? I think I need to find a new type of panel mount 4 pin 120VAC cable to connect the amp and the table. I am not convinced having 4 loose wires with interior circuit type insulation carrying mains current strewn across the table is safe. The problem with restoring some of the original wiring is that it was meant to be internal wiring, not external wiring. Is there a better way to go about restoring proprietary, or despairingly obsolete connectors?Īll the interior proprietary connectors I'll probably try to restore, but for wires that will become external, I think I need to come up with a new plan. Wow, when I break it down, sounds like a lot of work. I can always cut the cables short from the connectors, try to strip the gooey insulation, then braid new wire on to the bare leads to solder before using shrink tubing. The motor has a socket with only two leads. I suspect the Garrard 3000, takes line voltage, and think mine is a two pole motor. Since I hate finding stereo "components" that only have proprietary connectors, I'd like to split the wiring so that the Garrard could also function as a normal record player if paired to a modern amp. Most of these connectors have wedge pins that I don't think I can get replacements for. Modern molex cables have round pins and a tool that I was never successful with to remove and install pins in their connectors. They look almost like the modern 4 pin computer power molex connectors. The Garrard 3000 is powered by some weird proprietary or obsolete 4 "pin" cables. I want to setup the Garrard on it's own plinth instead of having them both in the same shell just in case the receiver is placed too high to use the table on top of it. I Have a Garrard 3000, along with the receiver from a record cabinet. ![]()
