connector for RCA Victor phonograph

by leedavila » Tue Jan 02, 2007 5:03 am

I'm try to work on my father in law's old RCA Victor phonograph. Can anyone tell me what these connectors - used to plug in the turntable, tape machine, etc. to the amp are called and/or where I might be able to get replacements? I'm trying to restore its "Stereo Orthophonic High-Fidelity" and any help is appreciated! Image

Leedavila,

I just finished restoring one of these. They are very nice. I looked for quite awhile for a name for these connectors. After checking two SAMS photofact's I was surprised no name or part number was mentioned. I had to replace this on my phonograph as well because one of the wires had broken off of the pin. I managed to pick up an old phonograph for parts at the local thrift store. It had a couple of them inside. I managed to convert one to an rca style plug that allows me to play cd's through the stereo (very nicely I might add) as well as a tape player or whatever. You can hardwire an rca plug right into the amplifier fairly easily to update this to a modern connection too. I don't know how handy you are with a soldering gun, but if you pull the amp, you will see a red, white and black or uncoated wire where these component connectors come into the amp. If you take an rca cable and strip the wires back you would connect the red to red, white to white and the bare wire to the bare wire all on the amp., feed it through and you have updated those connections. I don't know if any of this information will help you, but let me know if you have other questions. I'm not an electronics expert. Just enjoy it. I'm curious what model you have? These seem to be hard to find.
