Vtg 1970's BSR McDONALD PROFESSIONAL 2310X Automatic Turntable 

That BSR was built better that the soundesign one had all metal cam for the reject mechanism! Oh and a magnetic cartridge also! Nice!! Great job once again!

The bsr tables always seem so clunky when compared to an early to mid 60’s VM. Great video, nice find, with the four pole motor.

Excellent video. Very informative; I really picked up a lot of tips from it. I love the old BSR's, though they do tend to run a bit fast. I have sanded down the shafts on some and that seems to work well. Very tedious, because you have to keep checking with a strobe disc to make sure you don't sand too much off.

I know this is an older video and you may not even read this comment but i will post any way. This bsr is almost exactly the same as mine. only difference is the cosmetics and the base is not all wood and is mostly plastic on yours. This and mine the 2013 w are some of the higher end bsr turntables. for 1 they can have most stardard mount cartridges installed on them where newer bsr turntables seemed to be limited only to specific cartridges as there is a clip on the front of the head shell that keeps the cartridge in place not screws like yours and mine. i would definitely recommend upgrading the cartridge as that is the exact same one mine had on it as well the adc k8e. i upgraded mine because upon changing the needle the cartridge itself fell apart and became useless. Mostly due to age. I upgraded to a modern audio technica AT95EX and noticed a vast improvement in the low end and bass response and less distortion from what i was getting from the original adc k8e before it fell apart. also this has a squared or rectangular tonearm. This is a good thing because later bsr models had rounded tone arms and the clips did not hold the arms in place as firmly as on the squared arms. also this has adjustable tracking force and i believe anti skate which i don't think the laver bsr tables even had. Man i love the older BSR turntables. They were some of the nicest cheaper tables you could get from back in the day. That is until they got cheaper and cheaper and had less features and less cartridges you could use with them due to the switch to mounting with a clip instead of screws

Man, you did a beautiful job. And you made it look so easy!

Thank you... Bro... 🙏

Admirable... Un saludo desde Madrid...

Great video and marvelous job getting that unit back to 100% functionality

Teddy, your demo of this BSR McDonald 231OX is super without obstruction doing wth your both hands working where I can see very clear of your every move you make rather than One-Hand operation such like one hand working & the other hand holding camera , blocking the view by his own body obstruction . Nvr know wht the guy is doing only talking but wth blocking the view wht is going on When viewing your video I come to only watch yours from now on. Pls do post more details b'coz I got to ask you more on this turntable & pls advice on my BSR which I got it from my friend lately. Condition good. It spins OK has Tone Arm but without needle/stylus. It's an old turntable but hasn't got it's Model reference. It has 4 speed operation auto n has no Tone Arm Lifting/Lowerng Lever. Pls advise wht I got to get to operate this Turntable. I now following your show eagerly. Tq👍

the paint brush idea looks like a good one

Great show, good info, thanks , will do

Hello Teddy. I like all your videos. Im trying to start restoring some vintage equipement but i found a lot of electronics issues like hum noise. Anyways thanks a lot.

I notice you have skc video tape, I've used them. very good tape

My platter turns manually but I am unable to lift it up. It doesnt spin when it is in the start. (Stop, start. Automatic)

You are awesome. Thanks for the video!

Have you heard of superlube i just bought another tube. it works like lithium but lasts a little longer

Bravo!

This was so helpful! I just got an old BSR 510 from my dad that looks the same. I never would have thought to use a paint brush and q-tips. I was trying to figure out how to get the grease off all the little parts on the bottom. Any recommendations for a replacement stylus?

Looking for a new old stock rubber wheel for a 1973-4 Panasonic RS-888S turntable. Can anyone help in finding the idler wheel? Thanks in advance

If I hear a sort of "warbly" sound, like a fluctuating sound, when I play vinly on my Soundesign BSR turntable, mostly noticeable on sustained notes of songs, what would that mainly be caused by?

I have this same model but when I use the auto feature, the tone arm returns and drops in the middle of the record after the side is finished. To be clearer, I put the record on the spindle, it drops and plays, once it reaches the end of the side, it lifts off the record and returns to the start position, but then moves back over the middle and drops in a random spot. I thought it was a weight issue like maybe the weight of multiple records on the spindle influences how far the needle moves, but the same thing happens. Any advice?

What's with the girls beads

hi ted great vid I 've just unstuck a seized Platter on a BSR C129 .I tested the turntable and everything works ...But when the start/stop/auto switch goes to stop position there is a loud clunk from the speakers...The record player is part of a Marconiphonic Radiogram ...Any advice on how to stop the speakers picking up this clunking sound?

After I have removed the rubber from the spin wheel on my BSR , what kind of glue do I use to replace it?

good job~~

My record player goes through the cycle where it drops down a record it works extremely slow and there is a lot of resistance on the turntable. I turn it by hand to get it to go through the cycle. When the turntable rotates I hear a noise like something is loose underneath. How do I fix this problem?

Using the changer function for prised LP's is not the best idea..... Pop the short spindle in for those. The drop changer is really ment for stacking those 7" 45's..

What type of grease do you use?

I don't understand people who don't speak on their videos

Professional? It's the same cheap record player everyone had, but with a magnetic cartridge, but okay.
