    Belt drive with auto return?

    Please excuse my ignorance.. I'm new here. I currently own a Pioneer Pl10 turntable... I love it, but want to upgrade. Something I have always loved about my Pl10 is how quite it is which I assume has to do with the fact that it has a belt drive. Something I don't like however is having to...

    Help with Dual 1257 automatic start

    Hello! I recently bought a Dual 1257 and noticed that I had to switch the start knob to begin turning the table, then manually set the needle to play anything. After looking at different threads, I figured it was the steuterpimpel that needed to be replaced. I did that, and the manual start...

    sony ps-2400 info?

    So I won a ps-2400 on an auction site for what I feel is a very fair price. I kinda blind bid so I have only been doing research after winning it. I thought it was a direct drive but it seems to be belt driven. It seems to be missing the anti skate weight. Does anyone know where I can get one of...

    Braun Turntable with traces of thorens

    As an architect living in Germany, there was no way i could avoid beying attracted by some Braun gear. I can honestly say that they are not only nice, but also nicely designed, with a few unexpected features. So is the case of the Bran PS 430 turntable. It is the simpler brother of the PS 500...

    Systemdek 2 (or II) Belt recommendation

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a supplier of good turntable belts? Also, the existing belt has begun to ride out of position on the drive pulley. It tends to ride down a bit to towards the 45rpm slot and so turns the platter at a higher speed. Will a new belt probably fix this? Or can anyone offer...

    Just ordered a Thorens TD 145

    I've always loved the look of these decks, and I ran across what looks like a clean one for $450 on eBay. The shipping was free, and it comes with an Ortofon Super OM 20 cart, so I'm really only paying about $300 or so for the TT itself. I currently have a Pioneer PL-510A and am looking forward...

    Hi, guys! I am fixing a Pro-Ject 1.3 for a friend who had an accident with it and the tonearm needed to be rewired and readjusted. I haven't received the new wires so I haven't listened to it yet. The point is that I decided to test the motor and the platter to check if there was something...
