I have a Philips automatic 406 turntable that has been mothballed for years but is in good condition.
I would like to use it again to play my old vinyls but am at a loss how to connect it to my CD player.
The turntable which was made in Germany during the 1970s has a circular 5 pin plug. The more modern CD player has USB and two pin sockets (red and white) labelled "AUX".
Does anyone have any ideas how this could be done?

probably easier to get a usb turntable not sure if you can get a round 5 pin to usb adapter

Thanks B-B.
Not a problem to buy a new one but reluctant to bin what is/was an excellent turntable. It used to plug into a Philips pre-amp but that was thrown out long ago. |

two ways, pop down to a decent hi fi specialist to see if they can knock something together (assuming they won't have one) or have a trawl through the maplins catalogue and see if they have it?

I think a 'socket 5-pin (DIN) to RCA plug (phono) Adapter' might work.

By:
Thanks elise and Make my hay.
The turntable has a male plug so assume that socket 5-pin (DIN) is the female equivalent. I'll check out a few shops tomorrow. Great if I can save something from landfill. |

try Richter Sounds..they are very helpful with things like this

Foinavon they have some on ebay with the female socket, just put 'socket 5-pin DIN to RCA plug phono Adapter' in the seach if you want a look.

Found exactly what's needed on EBAY for £4-99 but don't have an account (can continue as guest according to their checkout page).
There is a Maplin shop in Solihull so will try my luck with them first now I know what's needed. Thanks both. |

i've got a thorens td166 mk2 if anyone wants one, might still even have the original box

does it have the MAYWARE FORMULA 4 arm?
|
|
By:
nope, it's all original, perfect condition, that one on ebay is v expensive, mine would be in better condition and i'd let it go for a ton, throw in an amp as well
|
|
By:
no I don't want it just wondered if it had that arm

funnily enough burton, it came from a hi fi shop that used to be on the branstone rd / anglesey road junction in 1987
