Hi, I want to use Quad 33 as a Phono amplifier, and connect it to AUX of my integrated tube amp. Is it possible and how to do it. Thanks.
Quad 33 phono
Hi:
Simply connect the record output leads to the aux input of the receiver.

get a din to rca M or F cable, if you want to swap over on the quad
and get rid of the din sockets for some nice gold Neutriks
have a look at the link!🙂 or take the cover off and trace the wires!

hi
the din plugs used are 4 pin types found here

make a screened lead up with phono plugs to suit, the connections for the din plug are printed on the back of the 33

Your original question was how do I do that?, not how do I make the cables. The Source or Radio Shack or local computer stores, even Canadian Tire! all sell the 5 pin d.i.n. to 4 rca cables that you require, these are entry level quality of course. I make up adaptor cables such as these,(I service Quad equipment ), using
as high quality parts as you desire.

hi
yes that would be fine but the plug is not a 5 pin din, its a 4 pin.
please read my previous post

hi
my mistake it is the output that has 4pin din, the tape in/out is 5pin din so bear is absolutly correct on this

Quad 33 Premplifier Balance slider - more stable version wanted
After service and maintenance by this pre-amplifier I note, that works fine. Unfortunately the balance slider showed about
Quad New and Used Parts
is no longer useful, because one half of the open loop consisting of a white plastik (very thin and brittle) isn't present
I use now the same part, found by an ebay guy some years ago.
But I'm very unhappy cause the bad quality - the balance potentiometer turns a little hard (compare to most other potentiometers).
Therefore I need a more stable version with high quality plastic like teflon.
The plastic should not break, even at high load.
Who know a supplier of such a part?
Thank you very much for advices in advance.

thank you. Because the pot rotary motion is to hard I disconnect the leads from main PCB to the balance adjust pot and put in two 470 ohm resistors. After cleaning all push-botton switches and resoldering various solder joints this preamp decvice sounds very good.
But a second question arises:
from where I can order a 4-pin DIN male cable connector for the preamp output DIN female port?
I want to know such suppliers for both usual standart quality and most ultimate contact/housing quality for mounting any wire diameter, even thick Cardas leads like follow:

It's not that good you know?.... Good for the day but not by modern standards. Lots of problems with noisy edge connectors in all the plug in cards! still a classic though and great idiosyncratic styling.

there is to find a pic from refitted WBT female chassis connectors by this "33" pre-amplifier
