Hi, I have a Perpetuum-Ebner Piccolo in a vanity case, not sure if it works as there is no speaker just 4 wires, think one is the mains and the others are have jacks on them one red, yellow and a green one, any ideas how I can find out where to test it? Will take some pictures over the weekend.

Thanks
Andy

RM descrbes Piccolos as being for headphones or an amplifier, so it sounds like they're more of a deck only than a record player.

I always suggest using a pair of amplified PC speakers for this kind of testing. Just connect the wires from the tonearm to the input of the speakers - use a jack adaptor or cut it off and bare the wires.
