I'm not suggesting a fault with the encoding. I mean that your particular disc has either degraded with age, or there was a manufacturing flaw that has led it to be stamped imperfectly. Just as an LP record can become physically damaged only in certain parts so can a compact disc. If the disc...

It could be a disc that has a lot of errors and what you are hearing is the error concealment system working very heavily, and not quite coping.

Marantz was bought by superscope in 1964.

Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer 'neat' and 'kine'.

Says who?

Mineral turpentine works perfectly for removing the sticky plasticizer film .

Tetsh-nix hasn't been suggested yet .

Long ago and components have changed since then, a friend's girlfriend:" Oh my god, if you locked me in this room for a year I still wouldn't have time to press every button"

Magic! Thank you. I have tubing, so can now cut to exact length.

Hi all, In another post I mentioned I bought a GA-212 with a broken and poorly repaired arm. I need to replace the arm tube, but since mine has been cut and joined, it may be shorter than original. Please can an owner tell me the exact length of the exposed aluminium tube, from black ball entry...

Great find! Now you have a very fine record player!

From your video recording, I get the impression something is binding or jamming. Normal Adjustment of the dash-pot won't fix that. It may be as simple as dirt in the piston/cylinder. Or it may be the cylinder is mounted skew due to something being bent. When the solenoid is energized, the...

Is the solenoid energized when the machine is supposed to start playing?

Underneath that bracket, where the wires enter the lamp, that's where the retaining clip is. Can you push the long rectangular bar down ,or it stuck?

The cup must turn , that is the adjustment - it has a tiny air hole in the bottom that is opened or closed by rotation of the cup. Maybe it is just stuck due to age. It is held in by a spring clip on a stud that protrudes through the mounting plate. If you slide that clip off ,you should be able...

Yes, an A245, and a CD314. Neither in use, just back-ups.

That reminded me: When I was very small, there was no sewer piping in the area we lived, each home had a septic tank. All toilets had a reminder sign - printed on a panel of wood hanging over the cistern: "Please do not flush your cigarette butts ."

Can we do "McIntosh" next ?

It is well known - I'll get many, many agreements on this - that every revox B series component from the 1980s has got almost no fully working Frako, Philips or Rifa capacitors in it anymore. Even if you find that the noise is being caused by a single component and you replace that component...

Every electrolytic capacitor in a 285 must be replaced (aluminium and tantalum electrolytic ) before any other diagnoses can be meaningfully performed .

They had them where I was at university. Once, I pulled to get more clean towel, and the whole thing came off the wall!

Since I was 5 or 6, Christmas and birthday presents always included at least one 45 - something currently "on the hit parade". They were cheap - it wasn't an extravagant gift. I still have all of them. And a few more recent ones that came as free promotional items with music magazines.

But then how do you all say "Audio Technica" ?

Garrard usually colour coded the motor pulley: nickel for 50 Hz and brass for 60 Hz.

My 790 makes a kind of musical sound as the PLL locks , which the 795 does not . The 790 motor has a big rotor, that seems to transduce the drive voltage's momentary oscillation into sound. Function and specs are all normal.
