    Pioneer PL 516 - Upgrades and restoring

    Looks like I'll be picking up a Pioneer PL 516 to add to the collection (and the 70's Pioneer stack - SA-8100 amp, RT-1020L R2R with Celestion D-332 speakers). It's a silver edition that after having read a number of other user threads, I am seriously considering stripping the silver off and...

    Pioneer PL-516 or PL-117D?

    I currently use a Pioneer PL-516 and was recently given a dusty old PL-117D. Is the PL-516 a better turntable than the PL-117D? I'm not finding much info on the PL-117D. Looking for opinions before I commit to the PL-117D as a project!

    replacing PL-516 tonearm with one from PL-518

    Hello everyone. Has anyone ever attempted (or has any idea if it is possible) to replace the PL-516 tonearm with one from a PL-518? From the service manuals it seems the mount is similar. Thanks!

    Pioneer PL-516 - Stylus Jumping Grooves

    I didn't see a general troubleshooting thread, so apologies ahead of time if there is one. I have a Pioneer PL-516 that looks to be in pretty good condition. Clean belt, well oiled parts, proper cartridge/stylus placement (49mm), balanced tonearm, etc. However, when I put a record on, I hear a...
