My Technics SL D2 has the speed issue that is typical for the model, where, it can't hold speed stable. There aren't sudden changes in speed, rather the dots slowly start to drift in one direction, slowly stop, slowly start again in the other direction, and so on. They don't move very fast in either direction, so I don't really notice the speed change in the music (only happened once or twice to have sudden changes that I noticed).
So today I decided to open it up and locate the speed pots and all of those, till I get my hands on a can of DeOxit. I followed the guide found online (thrift store turntable something), but I could not find anything that resembled the pots found in the photos (demonstration made on a SL 1300). The place where the speed switch and pitch control "enter" the body of the tt is covered by the main board (I guess that's the main board). From what I saw, taking it off would be kinda tricky. I was wondering if anyone here has done it on a SL D2, and if so, could give me some information.
