The amp on my record player just blew out in the middle of The Cult's "Sweet Soul Sister" from the Sonic Temple lp.
Now I can't listen to any records until I get a new one!
Any leads on a cheap, gentley used one?

Do you need just an external amp or is the whole turn table needing to be replaced?

You may find it's just a fuse, maybe in the unit itself. I would definately start there.

I'm not much into music or stereos, so I'm guessing when I point this out:

When the amp was opened up 2 of the 3 fuses were blown. I'll replace those and see if it works.
I'm gonna have to listen to muchmusic. Let's hear it for the boybands!

Make sure you get exact replacements for the fuses. There are some quirky ones in hifi. The old method of wrapping foil round them to see if it works does not apply in delicate hifi electronics!!! Also ask why they blew, was the ventilation of the amp covered up with the volume high for a long period? Check for other obvious things which could cause a short circuit, although unlikely. Possibly other blown components which are visible with the naked eye.
