Default Clockwork Turntable.

Hi.

Can anyone help with information on a clockwork turntable, it is marked 7A on the motor has a side winding handle and a Bakelite arm for the needle. It also has a cable out which I believe went to an external speaker amp that plugged into a light socket. The turntable case is home made, looking at the quality of the woodwork and the word Typhoo on the base panel.

Thanks, Alan.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

It would help if you could post some pictures of your turntable.

What specific information do you need Alan? What you have is the motor from a wind-up gramophone, probably a Garrard, with a later arm, in a home-made wooden box. If the cable comes out from the base of the arm, then it is intended to be plugged into the "gram" sockets of an old valve radio.
