I bought a lot of items recently. At first I thought I had an old Moto meter for an automobile. Turned out it was a silver tone phonograph arm piece. The little round part on your phonograph needle bird
That was supposed to be. Not bird stupid editor
Neat machine. There are a few things to keep in mind, unless it's been rebuilt, you'll likely need to rebuild the sound box. You can probably get away with just replacing the diaphragm and gaskets. The records that will sound best will be those recorded acoustically, pre 1925 for most labels. And you need to change the needle after every play, reusing needles will result in record damage. Also don't play Edison Discs or other vertically cut records. Is this your first phonograph?
Yes it's my first and yeah some records work well some dont
