High all, I have owned this turntable for over five years, giving me only excellent service. The other day I went to use it for the first time in a couple of months, and the right channel either wasn't working or was producing static. I went on Youtube and found how to test the output leads...

Hello Friends, After having problem after problem getting belts installed, I discovered a solution. My wife shows dogs and uses a product called Bio-Groom anti slip spray. Put a little into the cap. Using a Q-tip place some on the capstan or pulley. Placed the belt on the part, press, wait...

Hi All, I am having a playback issue with my TC-K61, btw I am keeping this one. Having replaced both belts. FF & RW work great, but play engages then quits. There appears to be an issue with the drive gear not turning the spindle. I have cleaned the gear and gave it a little lube. It is...

Hi all, I am trying to refurbish a Scott TT. I plugged it into an Onkyo TX-SR705, and I am getting no output. I know it is not the receiver; used another TT I had lying around. Is there a way to test the continuity of the output leads without taking the TT apart? Thanks, Tiecode

Question for all you excellent Audiokarma members: Why would you Bi-Amp the center channel speaker? I just switched from JBL to Klipsch and the Klipsch, SC-3, is Bi-Amp capable. Just do not understand the purpose.

Hi all, I have attached pictures of this Toshiba SA-620 that I am working on. The caps look newer to me. Most of the caps I have seen from this time period are black, so from the pictures does it look like it has been recapped?

Hi all, Once again I have a question concerning my X-10R. I found my multi-tape box had gone bad. I plugged the TEAC directly into my receiver and got great output going from the receiver to the R2R, but when playing back the tape very little output. VU meters were barely moving and not much...

Hi all, I am having a problem with my X10R. I get no output or input. When trying to play a tape I get a second of output then it fades to zero. On record, after pushing to record button, I have made that mistake before, I get nothing on the VU meters. I am thinking that maybe the tape...

Hi all, Does anyone know were I can get a tonearm counterweight for an Onkyo CP-1030F. If not a counterweight, perhaps someone might know the tonearm diameter? I can get the TT to work as a manual without the counterweight, but not as an automatic. Thanks

Hey Guys, First thanks for all your help over the last couple of years. I have fixed issues that before joining this user group I never would have touched. Now for the question; I have an Onkyo CP-1030F that I cannot figure out how to adjust speed. The unit has a window to check speed, but I...

This is coming from a different forum, but how many of you miss the Shack?

Hi all, Just picked the pioneer up for a song. One of the lights was out, so I decided to replace all of them with LEDs. Even before the new lamps went in the receiver's lights all went out. Putting in the new LEDs did not help. Also, the indicator lamps are out but did work before the...
