Perpetuum Ebner Turntable

Dear all,

I am restoring a radio receiver (from 1960) having also Perpetuum Ebner turntable type4230PE _Stereo (127V -50Hz, 6w)included. Unfortunate the turntable motor does not work because of the "Black" component, shown in attached picture, is open in circuit. I assume the "black" component is wire-wounded resistor but its value is unreadable. There are anyhow very dim numbers 25 on view.

Could somebody kindly help and advice me what is this Black component?

Best regards

Hello Mr. Nyholm,

when your model is built for 127 Volt, it is an resisitor approximate 1,8KOhm / ca. 8 to 10 Watt for using on 230 Volt. But control the 127 Volt direct on the connexion of the motor.
I calculate it for 6 Watts.

Hi Mr Bauer,

Thank you for your comments.
Actually there is a "trick" because of radio's mains trafo has input for 110V and 127V. Turntable is connetecd to 127V point (autotrafo) for 220V.
I understand now that the "black" component is a resitor but obviously smaler than you did mention. Would it be 25 Ohms?

Best regards
Ake

Hello Mr. Nyholm,
could you make a drawing, that i know, how your "tricky" ;-)) is working?

Hi Mr. Bauer,

Please look at attached picture. Unfortunately original circuit diagram was very blury but hopefully readable.
I also made a drawing how I understan the voltage selector connection should be when the mains input voltage is 220V.

Hello Mr. Nyholm,

Now I looked in my 220Volt model, there is no resisitor.
The capacitor in my 220Volt model is 0,16µF. In your 127Volt model it is 0,6µF.
Where does the resistor go to?
Normally your record player must work on 230Volt, when your wiring diagram is all right.

Hi Mr. Bauer,

Thanks again about your comments.
I assume that my previous drawing was not so clear and therefore I made another one to show more illustrative view. The turntable is really working with 127V ac, please kindly look at attached photo and drawing.
You did ask to where the resistor X is connected. Unfortunately parts of the wires are hided by some mechanical parts in the turntable and I don't dare to break up those. There are some springs, which may jump off etc. From my drawing you hopefully can get some ideas, but how the wires are connected between the motor poles I don't see.

In the meantime I replaced the original (broken) resistor with new one having value of 25ohms. Now the turntable motor is running in "proper way" but I don't know if it is electrically OK.
It should be nice to here comments.

Regards
Ake

Hello Mr. Nyholm,

now all is clear, it is a protective resistor.
I think, your resistor is quite correct.

Hello Mr. Nyholm,
if you can measure the resistance from each of the both leads to the broken point then you can calculate a value near of the original resistor.

Hello Mr. Jung,

Thank you, Your hint was very useful. Even the measurement, due to resistor body insulator, was not so easy, I learned that my earlier quess of 25Ohms was one decade to low. 250ohms seems to be more correct.
