Hi Radiolo,
Thanks once again i am learning as i go along. I have added additional pictures. Please can you see if anything is missing. The circuit looks in good shape, i will test it however. I just am not sure if maybe a cap or something must go from the transformer.
Bien c’est pas un stereo ce modele je ne vois qu’un transfo de HP et pas de pots doubles ???
on dirait un oscar senior ou major avec une valve curieux
l’autre tube ne serai pas plutot une valve s’il n’y a pas de diodes de redressement HT
mais cela n’existait que sur les modeles tous coutant avec de tubes de la serie U
resemble fort a ce modele

bref il va etre necessaire de faire un peu de schema pour comprendre
It does look very much the same
attention danger it is a mother-in-law killer
I dont know if i should take the chance and switch her on
you need to use an isolation transformer in ordre to secure you during the troubleshooting

Top of the page you have a button in green where it is written “S’INSCRIRE”. You need to go there click “Accepter” and you should be good to go

Hi Radiolo,
Thank you for the advice, any specific thickness of O-ring. i am assuming a generic O- ring that fits will do the job?

Evening All,
Please can someone assist me, I have just come across a Teppaz Senior, that i will be restoring. Everything works fine, it does require one needle on the flip side. My problem is that when playing a record the sound is very faint / low. Please can you assist on what to check to improve the loudness.
Best Regards
From Cape Town - South Africa.
Hi to all,
Hello Heinwil1,
I am assuming this is a tube amplifier record player, not a transistorized model.
Your record player uses a ceramic phono cartridge. It’s 50 or 60 years old and very often the cartridge doesn’t age well, especially in damp conditions/climate.
Usual symptom is loss of output or complete silence.
Guys here can help you find the appropriate replacement.
You have to tell us if the low sound output comes from the cartridge itself or the amplifier. An easy test to see if the amp is healthy is to touch with a screwdriver the fine cable connecting to the cartridge. One is Ground, the other is Signal. If the amp works, you should hear a loud hum in the speaker when you touch the Signal wire.
If nothing, unplug the Teppaz from the AC power & check with an Ohm meter that the fine cable from the cartridge to the Amp’s input has continuity both on Signal and Ground wires. BTW, it’s a small diameter shielded (coaxial) cable routed inside the tone arm.
Considering the age of the Teppaz have you tested/replaced the old electrolytic and paper capacitors ?
Most important ones are the DC high voltage filters and the tube grid input coupling capacitors.

I did the tests as suggested and in test one works perfectly - loud hum from speaker
TEST 1 - does give a loud hum from speaker
*test to see if the amp is healthy is to touch with a screwdriver the fine cable connecting to the cartridge. One is Ground, the other is Signal. If the amp works, you should hear a loud hum in the speaker when you touch the Signal wire.
TEST 2 - All leads trace fine and show continuity from one point to the other.
*unplug the Teppaz from the AC power & check with an Ohm meter that the fine cable from the cartridge to the Amp’s input has continuity both on Signal and Ground wires. BTW, it’s a small diameter shielded (coaxial) cable routed inside the tone arm.
*** I can now safely say it is the cartridge, I will have to find out from the group how i can find one. She plays but as i said not very loud.
How can i find a cartrige and needle - or can I adapt another cartrige to fit. If so please can someone send me some pictures of how they did it.
I now have 3

Hi to all,
Hi Heinwil1,
Thanks! for doing the tests. Now we’re sure you need a replacement cartridge. Please confirm it’s for the Teppaz Senior Mono.
Will E-Bay or Amazon deliver to South Africa ?
Request below:
Bonjour aux membres du forum et spécialistes des électrophones Teppaz.
Pouvez-vous SVP conseiller Heinwil1 sur comment se procurer une cellule de rechange (si ça existe) ou un modèle moderne compatible.
L’électrophone est un Teppaz Senior Mono. Cellule 33T/45T & 78T par retournement.
Si vous l’avez déjà fait, un lien vers un sujet/photos serait apprécié.
Merci ! d’avance pour lui.
Cordialement
jhalphen
