    Thorens TD160 with Auto-Stop

    Back in 2009, I purchased a used Thorens TD160 turntable. It looks like any other TD160 but it has an auto-stop and auto-lift mechanism. I've attached some photos that show the components. An interruption of an optical beam triggers the operation. Does anyone recognize this assembly and know...

    Turntable autoplay: tonearm not moving into position

    I have an Onkyo 1260f. Auto play isn't working (play light flashing). Pulled off the bottom cover and cleaned things up . The tonearm gear lube had turned to honey, so, I scrubbed it out with isopropyl alcohol and lubricated with white lithium grease. Put it back together and tested it out. When...

    Marantz 6300 auto problem

    Around half a year ago, I had purchased my first true turntable, a Marantz 6300. When purchasing it, it was told to me that the automatic function was not working and regardless I purchased it because the feature was not necessary at the moment and could be fixed later on. Later on has come and...

    TEAC A-430 auto bias operation

    Hi guys, A friend of mine brought in a TEAC A-430 for servicing, as it needed new belts. While the new belts are on their way, I installed a temp replacement to check the other functions. I'm especially intrigued by the auto-bias function and it's motor driven knob. Unfortunately, I'm unable...

    After pressing "start" needle moves AWAY from turntable instead of toward the record!

    Just bought a record player because I want to preserve the history and culture that is quickly being erased from society. Well, in the store, it worked fine. Put the record on, hit "Auto" and then the record drops and the needle automatically moves over to it and starts playing the track...

    Sony PS-X70 has stopped auto lift/return

    My Sony PS-X70 works properly in every way except that recently the auto return has stopped working. At the end of a record side the stylus stays in the locked groove and the table keeps spinning until I push Stop, which lifts and returns the arm normally. So the return mechanism is still...

    Overarm height changes record detection

    Hello all, TL;DR: VM 1201 - If I hold the overarm up even just 1/16" as a record drops, then the tonearm will automatically swing into position and play the dropped record. If I do nothing and leave the overarm to rest on the record when it drops, the tonearm picks up, sets back down, and...
