7MGTE Power!
I recently had a PL 530 returned that was damaged in shipping.
The box took a major hit. The long story short is that whatever happened has caused the motor to quit working. The buyer took it apart and looked at it before sending it back and said it looked like it had a bad cap and that dropping it may have caused it to go bad. Sounded funky to me.. I couldn't remember for sure but I had also thought I had recapped it when I picked it up about 4 years ago.. sure enough when I got it back I saw it had all new caps and also verified that the motor no longer works. I don't get it, as the table was part of the living room stereo and was used regularly and was working when I boxed the unit. I am going to have to part it out and would like to find out for sure why it no longer works... any ideas. Seems to power up.. strobe illuminates and tonearm motor was trying to work..
