Well. Here is the inside of a 1969 Soviet era Turntable. It's a doozy😜
Apart from the unidentifiable cylinder that looks like it's been at the bottom of the ocean since 1969, the tone arm that seems to suddenly have a ton of tracking force, there is an unidentifiable contact switch hanging loose.
It's a brick.
Oh the turntable turns......kind of.
But it looks soooooo cool.
I could make this a quiz?

These parts have originally green surface - they are wire wound power resistors.
What exactly is your question - if any?
I suppose my questions are:
The resistor in question. Can it be replaced and with what?
What is the contact switch and where did it come from?
Am I crazy to try and restore?

Functionality wise I would not play any records on devices like these.
As a home decoration piece that resistor probably does not matter.
Yeah I wasn't expecting a lot but was thinking more in lines of an old player playing old vinyl and 78s, singles etc. maybe a prop dept could use it.
I would recommend using only records that you are ready to discard for this activity 🙂
