Looks like I originally posted this in the wrong place so I am reposting here. Finally got my Technics turntable today its a SL1710 and I am keen on fixing a few things. I wanted one of these back in the 70's!
I have downloaded both the operating manual and the repair manual. Both do not address my questions:
1. Broken tone arm rest. I assume like many others my locking portion was missing but the small rest is still there. Do they still make new ones? I can not locate any. It looks like they are mounted from the back side of the plinth correct?
2. The tone arm needs to be re-dampened as its super fast. I can not find a thread on this and the manual is not very good. I am looking for pictures or diagrams of this assembly to show how it comes apart and where and what type of oil to use.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
