My YAMAHA P200 has been on the "operating table" (workshop) but she couldn't be saved, the dust cover was damaged, platter was missing! and the headshell/cartridge had also gone AWOL. Nothing more could be done for "her" so she has become an "organ donor" in the hope that some of these parts may give new life to another P200
It's like this ...
I am very "big" on sustainability, re-using or re-purposing equipment (no matter how trivial or old it may be) because a LOT of EE (Embodied Energy) was used to create this module and to throw something like this away, poison our landfill with plastics and a myriad of other manmade substances is just so irresponsible and such a waste of expended energy. Everything we humans have created required energy (and raw materials) for it's creation and often that amount of energy (EE value) is surprisingly high (Aluminium for example). So after using those raw materials and expending considerable energy to create an item, we then throw it away, burying it in the earth! Such terrible wastage.
Let's get down to the description of this component from the P200
YAMAHA Model P200 Turntable (not the Electric Piano!)
Country of origin: Japan (this is not a Chinese assembled product)
SPARE PART ONLY - NOT THE COMPLETE TURNTABLE
Part(s) offered (as pictured):
240V AC Power Input System
This is not a multi-voltage system, ONLY suitable for use with 240V AC supply sources
Comprises of:
Small AC transformer (240V primary ~ approximate 12V AC output with no load)
Auxiliary PCB which interconnects the ON-OFF microswitch and the AC low voltage output with onboard fuse protection and a capacitor for spark suppression when the microswitch opens and closes.
A few original mounting screws are included (see the photograph)
Weight: 146g
Transformer (GA6551) dimensions: 32mm width (this extends to 53mm if the mounting feet are included) x 32mm x 30mm deep
PCB (LC7382 NA07932) dimensions: 57mm x 59mm single sided
Microswitch (Matsushita AM41009) dimensions: 39mm x 15mm x 10mm height
Also included are the 3x mounting screws
Two PCB solder posts are provided for the connection of the 240V AC input
TESTING:
This turntable was fully operational (well, as best can be expected when there is no platter!)
Voltage output from the transformer was measured at 10.3V AC when under load (motor running without belt/platter loading)
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Used
Clean
NO damage to any component or the interconnect wiring
Note that this is from the age of "wire wrap", most connections used the wire wrap method but some (such as the 240V AC input) use solder joints.
Fuse and mounting screws for the PCB and the microswitch are included
This "module" has now been placed onto a stiff cardboard backing and sealed within clear plastic to ensure its current condition is maintained.
