    Technics SL-B5 Repair Feet

    Recently, I picked up a Technics SL-B5 and just finished cleaning and applying new lubricant. Everything works now, but all the feet were broken off because all the rubber nipples disintegrated. Any advice on how to reattach the feet?

    Adding Mass to Headshell ?!

    Anyone have an elegant solution to adding weight to a Headshell? I've heard of people using heavy tape but couldn't find anything useful at my local hardware store. Anyone got an amazon link for tape they used? For the record, I am working with an Ortfon RMG 212 tonearm and it requires 30G's...

    Technics SL-7 Tonearm cord/rope replacement

    Has anyone had any success in making or replacing the cord/rope that drives the linear tonearm? This is a common problem on these units and surpised aftermarket replacements are not available.

    Ortofon RMG-212 Tonearm?

    I am having difficulties finding a compatible headshell & cart combo that will meet the requirements for this tonearm. I believe the user manual recommends 28G - 35G. However, all my headshells & carts all fall short of this weight. Which SPU model should I be looking at or would it be more...

    Marantz Power Switch Snub Cap

    It's just two wires. Do I need to snip the “legs” from the cap or just bend them and feed them through the post. Also, which wire goes on which post?

    I got replacement power switch & cap but not certain how to solder on the cap. What's the best method? Do I snip the wires and use the excess pieces to make a bridge across the other post?

    The Amazing Restoration Thread for TWO Thorens TD-124 Turntables

    My TD-124 is on the tail end of being restored. I was just about to create a thread about my restoration process and noticed your thread. Most of the TT is DIY friendly however I chose to have the motor professionally rebuilt by STS turntables. The motor can easily be uninstalled/reinstalled...

    I ended up attaching the second ground because there was hum when using other headshells. Now, It sounds great.

    The Official Kenwood KD 500/550 and 600/650 Owner's Thread

    The tonearm still needs some fine-tuning to be absolutely level, but it's getting close. At the moment, I'm having fun trying out a few carts. @Isaac C. thank you for all your help & for recommending this tonearm.

    Marantz SLT-12U Tonearm Balance?

    I got inspired by another thread to finish up some projects that I shelved for way too long. I have two of these turntables. One is the model with a fixed cartridge and the other is the universal model. At the moment, I have one semi-running, but I can't figure out how to properly balance the...

    The Official Kenwood KD 500/550 and 600/650 Owner's Thread

    I haven't had any luck on eBay finding a tonearm for my 550. The common recommended arms (grace,bw,mayware) are either rarely listed or I keep getting outbid. Is there any under the radar budget friendly tonearms? I have an SME 3009, but don't want to go down that route on this turntable.

    I recently dug out of my Kenwood 550 out of the garage. It's been on my to-do list for way too long. Since, I'll be home until further notice, I thought I'd fix it up. I just received a replacement badge & slapped it on. Now, I just need to find a tone arm and hopefully find someone to sell...
