Nice job on your 6300 rebuild! Looks great!

You're spot on with your analysis. The "motor strength" on the 6300 does indeed have weak torque - especially on initial start-up and after stylus drop. I doubt that you'll notice any measurable improvements after putting in new electrolytics in the motor. Mine still drifts a little, and I have...

Check all voltages at the locations listed on the schematic for the auto-mode circuit first. And, check with the auto mode on, and retest with it off to compare. There's quite a few components involved in the auto-mode circuit and it can be tricky trying to find the culprit, but start there and...

Good, glad you found the right one. Yeah, those micro switches.....man, they're pesky bastids. I would definitely replace them all.:D Also, you can't overlook the mechanical aspect of the switch buttons either. All of them have these spring-loaded levers that are made out of paper-thin metal...

Bryan, try this one from Lumex; available @ Mouser.

Yes, but they don't have the domed shape end on one side like the originals did, so I went with LN28RPX since it fit the eyelet hole.

LN25 is an obsolete part. LN28RPX from Mouser would work however.

I agree, but you know what? My original pressing still sounds fanstastic, and I still think the original Pyromania masterdisk lp sounds better than the new remaster. The guitars have a little more spacial airiness, midrange punch and top end bite overall. The new mix is a little polite for my...

Have an MK5, and with KAB USA upgrades, it sounds excellent and runs like a a top!

Yes, I believe they’re available everywhere as far as I know....got mine from Music Direct (Chicago) @ 20% off. Hysteria is a double LP, so 3 tracks on each side. The rest are single lp’s. Actually, Live @ L.A. Forum is two lp’s as well. So far, really enjoying it!

Yes, sound quality is great! All 180 gram pressings pressed by Optimal Media (Germany).

I’m channeling 80’s rock today...:D

Going by your measurements, the transformer voltages you're getting are correct; primary side should be 120Vac, while the secondary side should be 30Vac. However, the voltages for transistor H803 on the power supply are low everywhere, and they should agree with the schematic: 34V collector...

Tarior, In my case, the audio hobbyist in me likes to experiment around with different components...just kind of fun to see what works and what doesn’t... and how it effects the sound quality overall. If I had proper testing equipment other than a soldering station and multimeter I’d be happy...

Here ya go...
