Well I received the "new" turntable from Dave (dieseljeep) today and I ended up using the turntable he sent me on my Magnavox to get it up and running instead of using it for parts because I figured out that the cartridge that I needed off of it was riveted onto the holder that secured it to the tonearm so there wasn't anyway I could remove it from the holder so I just used the screw from the original turntable that was missing on the turntable that Dave sent me in the mail and screwed the idler tire down and then swapped out the old LP needle with a new one I had laying around put it back together, swapped out the power connector from the original turntable that came with my Magnavox onto the new one turntable as the new turntable's connector wasn't the same as the one that came with my original turntable to begin with then hooked up the turntable secured it into place and then popped a record on and let it play and boy does it sound good!
The only thing I noticed though was that the stereo had some popping, snapping and staticy noises coming out of the left channel so I took the amp out of the console and recapped it (replaced all of the coupling capacitors except for one of them) and hooked it back up and then turned it on again and it still was making nosies out of the left channel, then I turned it off and then turned it back on again and then the noises went away and now it plays fine.
But what I found odd was that the nosies only happened when it was on phono mode only, when it was on radio mode it played just fine.
So I don't know what the deal was with that.
Anyways All I need to do is replace the crossover caps on the speakers which are 16 MFD 25 Volts Bi-polar electrolytics for crossover purposes, and I saw that Radio Shack has a 10 MFD 50 Volts Bi-Polar crossover cap for 97 cents, would that be a good replacement for the original crossover caps?
