- This is a quartz controlled, automatic, belt driven turntable named F7235 by Philips, with it's original stylus GP-331. Nice but broken or 'leuk maar kapot' how manufacturer would say. A very lightweight build. Found it kaput 38 years after its manufacturing. Age and maybe the wrong climate killed some specific parts inside of it.
I couldn't get any information for this odlschool device(without payment).
And since spare parts are not available anyway I like to provide You, dear swarm community, with information, pictures and my journey into the depths of this lovely little player, after i found my way through the troubleshoot out.
This work is not payed, i do this for education and fun and i wish this hardware to be alive. Please share knowledge.
Questions or thoughts are welcome in the comments!

Not being lazy to mention what i use:
screw driver TORX size 8
cable ties
shrinking tubing
chopsticks
and other secret spareparts :)
I Have to thank you, this video was really helpful with repair of my player. And my piece had problematic micro switch so i dismantle microswitch and clean its contacts
I'm glad it helped. This device is a joy in repair as in usage!
Hello, thanks for your video! I have the same type of player, the F7230, I suppose that Philips made a series of the same type of player. I have exactly the same problem with the plastic parts that dissolved over the years. The way you have fixed the problem could be a help for many viewers who have F7235 and many others because the same plastics are used in many other types, I suppose. Maybe you can make a more detailed video about the repair that you have done? That would be very useful. Thank you so much! Hubert Geelen, Antwerp, Belgium.
Hello Sir, at 8:05 i start to show some close up scenes, I suggest to stop the video for a better view. I fortunately had some random plastic pieces fitting very well. Using cable ties to attach them is harmless, i think. All in all they're rectangle sized plates about 10mm to 20mm with a hole about 2-4mm for the metal struts. The more precise that hole is, the more exact the mechanics. Since i gave that player away i have to wait for the next one to get hand on...and working on a better video quality aswell ;) You are very welcome! Greetings from Cologne! H. Fician
@@fician Thanks for your quick answer! I will see what I understand about it, I like to fix the mechanical aspects in general, if possible. I will look at your video, but the view of the long (about 20 cm) metal struts in working condition is not always clear, but I will try!
I suppose that, in any case, the metal struts still should be able to be freely moved forward and backward after the fixing, right? Without the original plastic (rubber?) pieces, the metal strut will otherwise fall downwards and that blocks the normal function, right?
Anyway, it is difficult when we do not know what the original function of the metal strut looked like!
Thanks!
Yeah you are right. Maybe in picture of 8:14 you can see important alignment. These struts do not touch each other and are moving forth and back as you mention. Freeze at 8:16 to see its alignment in full working state. It really was a puzzle. The 45rpm switching strut is left in the picture.
@@fician Thank you so much!
