On the other side, the drawer opens up to reveal the Cobramatic phonograph. Here, we have a couple of problems, and some creative input from Mrs H. The turntable is missing a needle, and will only play 78's. add to that, yet another long harness filled with crumbly rubber wire. Amongst the other things we seem to have accumulated going through life is a "Nu Tone" turntable, sold as a cheap way to digitise your vinyl. It is a good fit in the space occupied by the Cobramatic turntable, which has been delicately removed, and will be preserved for a possible future project. All changes are completely reversible, so (in my book) don't count as mods.
The next project will be to fabricate a board on which the newer TT will sit, and also to contrive a means to connect it into the main audio circuitry of the receiver. I will need a connector suitable for the radio chassis, if cannibalising the old phonograph harness is not desired. Mrs H really wants this to be usable for records and radio, and I think this is a great compromise 
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
