Early 70s Magnavox ac cord wiring.

Needing some help on how to re wire the power for this turntable. It has one of those three blade ends that went into a Magnavox receiver. Has anyone rewired one of these?

Whutza "three blade end" ? Are you talking about the three position, white nylon plug, shown ?

The plug I am talking about has two horizontal and one vertical blades on the other end of the nylon. It was meant to be plugged in a Magnavox receiver that had that input on the back. I just want to wire a normal ac cord to it.

I would ASSUME--and I am "just guessing"--that two of those blades are the 117 vac supply directly to the motor, and the third is the ground.
If you have a schematic, read it, or if not "follow the wires" ? If un-able to do either, please get someone who can to help--Ron Rich

Ron, there is no "ground" with these conductors, all are line connections.
Use the two outer conductors to "ac 120v", and call it a day.

I got it going! Wow, this player is quiet. Thank you for the help.

The third wire turns the amp on when you switch on the turntable. Make sure is is not exposed.

The green wire on the photo is the ground wire.

Thanks RC--good thing I was "just guessing", and my guess was not followed !--attsa why one needs docs !! Ron Rich
