Candle / BSR Record Player Repair 

It was a very good guide & a demo step by step given in your video without camera obstruction which was clear to follow to understand. Your method was simple to do of my own for the maintenance on my BSR Turntable which I bought a vintage turntable only to operate on my Amp. I'll see at your next video hopefully if you do come again. Thnx!!!

Man, i was looking a video with a BRS long play /turn table. I'm from chile, and here in the 70's 80's , they made this turntables. I need this video so much because i dont know how it works. Im very thankful man, your video will help me to restaurate my own!!!

You can use headlight lens polish to clean and shine plastic dust covers.

I had one of these BSR turntables in my 1974 'BUSH - Scene One' record player. (In the UK) Used ones today, in good condition, are usually gummed up, but as you have shown, some dedicated effort can resolve matters. A few differences, in my efforts to bring these turntables back to life, include: 1 - Use of Isopropyl Alcohol to degrease the smeared gunk which is left after cloths and toothbrushes have been deployed to get rid of the majority of life-expired grease. 2 - I relubricate the parts with Lithium Based Grease, while for lighter lubrication, I use 'Clock Oil'. 3 - Use of Isopropyl Alcohol again, on the electronic switches and the volume/ bass / treble / balance pots etc. before I put the turntable back into its case, although I appreciate you would have done that immediately afterwards. Great video either way, and a superb insight into how to repair classic record players, especially for those who want to try their hand at getting an old piece of equipment up and running again. Care must be taken to always disconnect the power supply when removing the turntable from its case, or reinstalling it but, other than that, these are great decks to work on. Thanks for posting!!

Thank you very much helped me fix my dads old one 👍🏻

I once owned one just like this. I bought it for myself when I was 12 from a store in Ottawa after mowing lawns for a summer. Mine came with a set of external speakers (as "deeluxe" as these little record players came I guess). I noticed yours has that familiar (not loud though) 60hz hum. Your capacitors are likely going to need replacing at some point. Nice to see a Canuck channel for electronics repair doing something simple while keeping things educational. Nice job.

Super helpful, thank you! Just trying to figure out what the problem with ours is, but we suspect it's gummed-up like yours was.

I have one just like this and the tone arm isn’t dropping and at the same time the turn table stopped working could you give me and idea of how to fix this?

Hi there, what lubricant have you used for shafts?

I have basically the same unit and the arm won’t move to the record. It did on a couple of occasions and then it didn’t everything else I got to work

do you know how to fix a BSR switch not turning off but when the needle goes to the end and it auto turns off. idk what to do. i diddnt want to force the switch off becuase i diddnt want to snap it

Was wondering what could be wrong with my turntable, it works since I cleaned up all the gunk but it revolves too fast. Any ideas? Thanks!
