Does the male connector (shown) connect directly to the turntable? If so you can just get one of these and hook up to a regular 12v power supply.

Or you could hack that end off and find a spare 12v power supply to sacrifice and solder/wrap the leads together.

Not "Out of the box" but if you bought it already, no fret. What you have on your record player looks like a plain jane bone stock 5mm barrel jack connector. Now, the problem you are looking at with an adapter like that is the fact that the female part of the cable that comes with it has 2 pins in it, and it's only meant for putting those male connector ends that come with it on, None of them are a female barrel connector. Your record player is odd, most DC appliances have either a built in power supply or an adapter with a male end and a female jack on the device. Yours is a male end on a pigtail coming out of the appliance.

​

So you will need that adapter, and you will have to be careful to set up the end correctly. Follow the directions. If you look at the glyph below the voltage specification you will see this device is "Center Pin Negative", which means negative DC is the center pin of the jack, and the outer jacket is positive. Those tips fit on that adapter 2 ways, one is center negative and one is center positive. Center positive on your device might kill it, so make sure you do that right.

​

You also need something like this:

​

it's a 2 sided female barrel connector, and double teaming one of these is the only way your adapter with a male end and your record player with a male end are getting together, and without finding one of the original adapters or I don't know if soldering multimeters shrink tubing and all that jazz are your cup of tea it's the best solution you have.

​

If you can solder and use a multimeter, you can plug that adapter into the wall measure the voltage and find the positive and negative leads after lopping off the end and stripping them. Then strip a small segment of the wire on your record player a little ways down the jacket and figure out which one is connected to the outer barrel of the connector using a continuity tester. Once you know what wires are what solder it together and just permanently attach the adapter to the record player. You could even crack the thing open and go right to the circuit board too if you are so inclined. But if you were into electronics at that level I doubt you'd be here asking.
