Califones in schools That's where I first remember seeing a califone of course. Always loved the cork turntable. Indeed the Director does have a microphone input and is a tube amplified set. The sound is warm and full. It's a cool machine. | ||

Thanks for the interesting thread, Bob! I should start and ebay auto-search for one of these as I need one for the 16" records from the Frigidaire training kits (with filmstrips) I have. I have a Motorola Illustrovox, but it's in rough shape and the projector bulb is missing and the record player will no longer play. Is there anyone that might still work on or have parts around for these? For occasional use, what machine would be best for me?

Weight of the TT's? Hey Bob, one more thing - how heavy is the Gates and Pioneer TT's? Being that massive I would imagine very heavy! Not made for portability!!! - Mike L. | ||

Califone Director Tech Tip
I too love my vinyl. A number of years ago I picked up a Califone Director. Loved it immediately.
However, the caps had dried up. You all know the loud-hum scene... I am a stickler about performing repairs in an exacting way. However due to some unexplained lapse of judgement (I am again shaking my head at myself as I write this) I decided to replace the can electrolytics with axials that went under the chassis instead of on top. Well, I was rewarded with a low-level hum that would never go away. The phono went to phono-heaven. And stupid me relearned a lesson about the critical nature of component placement. | ||

Califone Close ups I almost always play 10 inch Lp's on this machine so the tube warmth is not an issue.

All together now . . . Here are the two together. As you can see the speaker sits on top of my 1937 GE Triple Thrift refrigerator which I also love dearly.
