Chosen Solution
hi there so I am fixing this record player and everything was going fine until something happened. I believed that the problem was and old fuse had blown but it seems to be something different. its blown but its not a fuse. I thought it could be some kind of resister, but the symbol dosnt match that of a resistor. does this symbol look familiar to anyone? and if so is there a way of getting a new one of these. as far as the record player goes its an old Panasonic turn table which I took apart. thank you in advance if anyone can solve this with me. ~ finn <3
This is most likely a neon lamp that is used to adjust the speed of the turntable. The symbol is for a lamp. The neon lamp will “flash” at a 60 Hz. There should be a speed adjustment for each selected speed. The ribs on the side of the platter or somewhere seen through a clear plate will seem to stop rotating when the speed is correct. Dan
Hi, I think it is a symbol for an electric bulb or lamp. Interestingly though when you “Google” the board number as shown in the image posted i.e. SFL 0794V0 you get results for an IR receiver board which may make sense if it is to do with IR reception. What is the model number of the turntable? Perhaps if it is as old as you say there may be a service manual or schematic available online. Just search for Panasonic (insert model number) service manual and hopefully there may be a result.
