I found one at an estate sale for $35. Best $35 I ever spent on audio! Good tuner with great reception and PRESET BUTTONS! Vinyl sounds really good through it (driving a pair of JBL 4313B Control Monitors. I swapped in a Pioneer SX-780 I found and I'm feeling a little guilty.
I also vote for Smaller Advents, and for anyone who doesn't know, that IS their actual name.... "Smaller Advents." Refoamed and broken in, that is. :music:
Do your PL-630s ever spin backwards? Afraid mine does and I found some threads here on AK that seem to say this a fairly common "failure". Unfortunately, the fix is some unobtainable chip. Shame.
I've wondered for a couple years or more now and am thinking that you may know. Do you know what happened to Howard "Hakaplan"? He seems to have disappeared. I enjoyed his posts and knowledge as I do your knowledge and Dual expertise.
That's great! Good job! Being pretty ignorant on the subject, I soaked mine. That thing had an erection like you wouldn't believe! Lol! Bounced all over. Good to know it actually WILL work if you use WD40 s-p-a-r-i-n-g-l-y.
Good luck! The only problem is how much WD40 for how long. I think that's a guessing game depending on the stylus in hand. I found that it can really stiffen up the suspension TOO MUCH. But, when it's toast to begin with an experiment is better than just tossing it.
