Voltage?
Submitted on February 21st, 2010 by Rob801Hi
I created an account here to try and find information on the Miracord turntables.
I'm looking at a few different auctions in the States but am unsure of the voltage requirements.
Were the Elacs that were produced in the early-mid 70's made with dedicated voltage requirements for different regions or is there the slightest chance that they are capable of handling duel voltages/frequencies?
I live in Denmark where we use 220v/50Hz and strangely enough (considering that we border Germany) I haven't been able to find any vintage Elac turntables over here (yet... but my German is also non-existent). Using a step down transformer is not an option for me... been there done that (when I first moved here form the States) and it's not worth the trouble.
Thanks!

Submitted on February 22nd, 2010 by Rob801Never mind... I found one on Ebay in Germany that appears to be in very good condition (Miracord 50H... not exactly sure what year it is, but it is with the lighter colored wood base with wood on the sides of the dust cover). I should have it with in a week-10 days if all goes well :-).

elac miracord 50HII manuals
Submitted on November 27th, 2009 by rhhprintsrhhprints
Thanks---the diagrams for the Elac Miracord 50HII were quite helpful as the parts have an English translation. Too bad the entire manual is not translated as I can't read Danish.
My turntable from the 1970s was only delivering sound from one channel and the speakers made feedback noise when my hand got near to the cartridge. I thought I might need a new cardridge. However, when I removed the cartridge I noticed that the slotted contact piece on the inside of the tone arm was loose and when I moved it slightly, a plastic piece fell down---that important piece is broken.
I had stopped playing my records about 10 years ago when I noticed that only one channel played. CDs were in and I got new equipment. Now, I have a renewed interest in my record collection. I can either try to find someone to fix my turntable or get a new one that has the ability to transcribe the records to CDs as well as play them.
Any suggestions from people who have done the same?
Thanks, rhhprints
transcribe the records to CDs as well as play them
Submitted on January 6th, 2010 by Fred2I am currently trying to get set up to transfer all my vinyl records to Mp3 format so that i can play them on my IPod. Once the songs r in the mp3 format it is easy to 'burn' a cd from them. I ordered a new stylus for my Benj Mir TT, as soon as i get it & verify the hum is gone, i intend to use it. DAK sells a pre amp that will connect the TT to ur PC using the PC sound card, S/W comes w it in order to clean up the music if need be.
My 2nd option & 1 that i'm further along on is by using a USB TT, w accompanying s/w it converts the records directly to mp3's. It works well if ur records r in good condition [my case]. It supposed to work w Itunes, however it could be more efficient, i.e work better. Right now it transfers everything to Itunes as Unknown Artist & temp 1,2,3.. tracks, regardless of the info u supply as part of the recording process. When u r in i tunes all the pertinernt info has to be typed again, then itunes no longer recognizes it & u have to import them all over again. Barring that annoying inconvenience the process is working well....Fred2
