Is there an adapter of some sort that would take phono input to a receiver's phono input while also sending bluetooth of that feed to another speaker in the house?

You'd want some kind of monitor out on your receiver. The signal from the turntable isn't line level, it's very weak and it needs an EQ curve applied to it for it to sound right. It depends on what your receiver has for options.

Wouldn't there be a bit of a latency from the Bluetooth?

The serious collector who bought my old B&O system sent me some pics of a tiny slice of his stuff:    I put out a want-ad for new B&O stuff, and picked up this today:  The tape deck is broken, but who cares. It was from a guy in his 60s who had his hobby room filled with among other nice stuff a Kenwood mini disc player, B&O Century, Pioneer DAT player, some Proton stuff and lots of other nice things.

Some new gear at the shop, finally selling my Sansui AU-919 and will be servicing and cleaning this giant stack of Technics gear. Hooked up to them are a pair of Yamaha NS-1000s and Infinity CS-3009s. Up top is a Technics SL-1700 MK2 that I just serviced, still need to polish the dust cover though. https://imgur.com/a/wEs4z

When Technics gear is done well it looks really nice. I guess they were just apeing Sansui there, but I still dig it. Great looking tuner.

My current living situation, I can't run wire without it looking like a disaster. I have a Pioneer SX-770. This gives me the idea of putting a bluetooth transmitter on the headphone out to send to a bluetooth speaker. Probably have latency issues, and not work at all.

So you get all the fuzz and surface noise of vinyl combined with the compressed, telephone quality audio of a Bluetooth connection, over a lovely single speaker 15 or 20 feet away from your phonograph so you have the added bonus of having to get up every 15 minutes to change sides in another room. Sounds like something you read about on Steve Hoffman forums but only dream of experiencing yourself one day.

 I recently picked this up at a flea market for 10 euro. It has the leather-style case and some tapes, but its missing the user manual and a wall charger and the microphone is missing the wind sock. After some research it appears to be the early version of the WM-D6 which didn't have Dolby C noise reduction so working out how much its worth is difficult. I've seen the later version WM-D6C go for around £250 - £300. Not that it really matters because I plan to keep it (not that I can think of anything to do with it)

Well I'm pretty sure I'm closing in on some hoarding diagnosis, but until they catch me and put me away, the rest of you have to suffer with me! At least I only buy ultra cheap stuff, and sell it on with a profit ASAP. I couldn't sit still on my rear end today, so I went out thrifting. Stolen pics this time, because I'm lazy. Sony APM-215 speakers, with Super Acoustic Turbo and apparently something called APM technology. They came with Sonys high-end 80s boomboxes, and have square woofers and lots of 80s text on them.  Vector Research VA-1100 integrated amplifier. There seems to be a lot of info about Vector Research online, and they all agree that there is little info about Vector Research online. It has just a button for Loudness, which seems to be just a bass and treble boost.  Sanyo TP 30 turntable, direct drive with auto return. Unfortunately no quartz lock, and the speed controls are all over the place, so they will need some serious deoxitizing. Had a nice newer Sony cartridge and headshell on it.  All in all these things sound great together. They end up with a warm 80s sound, and the speakers and amp REALLY impress me. I tried pushing a bit with some modern MP3s, and it all sounded clear and great.

I have my dad's college-era Vector Research VT-250 direct drive automatic turntable with an at95E and I love it. Thing's built like an '80s Volvo and looks like one too. From this site: http://audiotools.com/dead_d.html quote:Damark Industries Those speakers can't be good though, even if they are interesting. Pairing that receiver with even some good budget modern speakers might bring out a totally unexpected character.

Earlier in the thread a kind goon advised me to ditch the cart that came with my U-turn Orbit for an AT95E. Did just that and it's had a chance to break in. Definitely worth the money as an upgrade. Sounds great.

What is a Fisher MT-6115 worth? It doesn't feel particularly well made, but I don't see where any have sold in Ebay in recent times and the parts for them seem to sell. Also, is there a way to turn it off short of pulling the plug? I cannot find a power switch on it, and 'reject' causes the arm to retract, but the platter keeps spinning

It should stop spinning when the arm is retracted. I bet it uses an IR LED as a sensor and the LED is dead. Aside from repairing it, your best option is probably an in-line power switch that you could keep within easy reach.

After I sold my B&O 7000, I put out a want-ad for their standing CD player. One guy replied and said I could have his broken one for free as long as I paid shipping!  It's missing a door, and I spent a good couple of hours figuring out routing the wires for the door mechanism and had 3 or 4 tries where I powered it up and they jumped out of alignment, but everything works beautifully now! It also included a Beo4 remote and BeoLab 2500 active speakers.

Anyone repaired old Garrard turntables ? I got my fathers old Garrard a bit ago, I belive its an SP25 MK3. As the tone arm stops moving inwards after playing half of the record, it is time to take the top off and clean off some old grease. It looks really great other than that, with minimal wear. Fake edit: Oh, and i will need a riaa amplifier for my NAD amp aswell. Might get a proper NAD riaa i think.

The arm was moving horribly slow when I first tried it, but it has gotten a bit better until it stops. There must be a lot of mechanics going on inside for all of those switches, so something is stuck.
