Mine don't click. It makes a nasty "door on old hinges"-noise all the way when I press or release the trigger.

Thanks, I'll try this! 8 years old thread!? Didn't notice that either :-).

My white zerostat suddenly started making a squeeking noise both on the pull and release movement. No click any more when i squeeze fast. Is it broken now?! Fixable?

With these old clunkers the saying: "with great effort comes great reward" seems true. I am starting to think my custom heavy plinth L75 based build is my endgame platform. I may tweak and adjust and swap arms, but that amazing beating heart of that high torque 240 volt motor stays!

I think any old Dual with the springloaded vtf could work. There were ads back in the day of these tables playing tilted almost upside down. Wave movements are low frequency and smooth so the those tt:s should be able to handle it. Just theorising here though...

I think that a lot of other factors are more important that long tonearms. They improve tracking errors a bit, that's true, but they are harder to accommodate and may also sacrifice rigidity. Personally I have never heard any issues with my 9 inchers that I believe would improve with adding...

If trying reseating the platter doesn't fix it I would go for a replacement. That amount of movement is not acceptable on a brand new turntable for this price.

Yes, member @tothmes here makes great working grommets made of silicone. Made a significant improvement in rumble level on my z100. He, like me, is located in Sweden,. Not sure how to purchase them abroad. But he will hopefully jump in here and tell.

Go get it!

That's my homebuilt Lenco based contraption with a diy:ed tonearm with a sideways unipivot bearing :)

Got the trusty old Garrard Z100 as a backup when my diy build goes haywire every now and then. Hey, did I just call a 50 year old advanced British fully mechanical automatic "trusty"?!

No, the artist is not "Chris-78" :) . Vinyl in better shape than the cover on this thriftshop find.

Never had the opportunity (or budget) to listen to mc cartridges so I cannot compare. But I think my ADC ZLM would put up a decent fight.

I totally agree with Bruno and Vauxhall. Great turntable. A real looker. But may be a bit of a challenge to get running properly if it has been sitting unused and not had proper service done. Here's mine.

If memory serves me right the motor pulley on the Z100 can be raised/lowered by loosing a grub screw holding it to the motor axle, to set the correct speed with pitch knob centered. But first follow the already given advice to clean the surfaces. Also check so the pivoting arm the idler is...

Oh, looks like hours of fun ;) ! ...seriously: congratulations! There´s something special with these old clunkers

Check the idler from the side. If it's not parallel with the top plate it can cause wow. Sometimes the idlers on these gets banged when the platter is mounted and the bracket the idler is mounted on gets a bend. It can carefully be bent to get the idler sitting straight. My Zero 100 measures...

With great effort comes great reward.

Find a beat up old but still working Shure M75 cartridge body for cheap and get a Swiss black diamond nude elliptical aftermarket stylus for it. ...with that said, agree on the AT3600L.

Maybe stating the obvious: but did you connect the cartridge wires the right way on the vm95e? If i remember correct the pinout differs from the Ortofon cartridge.
