I have a Radio Shack realistic Clarinette turntable thats probably 40 years old, and i am currently playing it through a 15 watt Crate guitar amp. It plays, but only the left side, how do i make it play both left and right???
Im playing it with a guitar cord
I know what the problem is.
The turntable has stereo output, but the guitar amp only has mono input. If you look at a set of headphones, they’ve got 2 stripes on the plug, the guitar cable only has 1. Thats the difference.
You need a way to combine the stereo signal into a mono 1/4" plug signal. You need an adapter of some sort. Stereo to Mono somehow.
The very simple way to fix this is to take the turntable into radioshack and they will hook you up with the right adapters you need – it should be about $10.
Good Luck,
John
