Weary & Leary! But I'm just watching. My PL-570 has some intermittent problems, probably logic or mechanical linkage. When it is working it is really sweet.
This winter I will probably dig into it, CAREFULLY re-flow all the solder joints I can access, and look for a decent way to evaluate the health of the electrolytic capacitors. However, I will most likely leave it alone if it doesn't conk out anymore.
It came with an extra headshell that suprizingly has a Shure V-15 III cartridge. I just replaced the broken stylus, but got ZERO audio, not even noise. Two of the cartridge to headshell leads were open. Ordered a new set of leads but haven't taken the time to swap 'em out and take a test drive.
Anyway, just thought you might have some penpals who are itching for a PLC-590. I see that nobody else has bid on it yet.
