    Cartridge/Sylus doubt from a beginner

    Hello fellow audiophiles, I've been thinking about entering the vinyl world for years, but as I travel like crazy for work, I kept second-guessing myself and ended up not buying it. That changed today... I just purchased a Pioneer PL-518 (!) and I'm very excited about it. It seems to work...

    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!

    Cartridge upgrade for PL-518 (also a pre amp recommendation)

    Hey guys working on restoring and upgrading this PL-518 I picked up. Any recommendations for a cartridge I can pick up? Right now my budget for a cartridge is under 100 and I will also need a phono pre amp as well preferably under 100. I had read on some older posts but was pretty confused (I'm...

    My recently acquired Pioneer PL-518 Help

    I was hoping someone here might have the counterweight for the Pioneer PL-518 or direct me to a replacement weight that would work on this table. I drove 3 hours last week to pick up a Pioneer Equalizer I'd been looking for and as it turned out the seller also had this turntable. He said he got...

    Pioneer PL-61 vs. PL-518

    Hello, I have a friend who works on and restores nice turntables. He has restored a PL-518 and is in the process of restoring a PL-61. Which would be preferred? I’ve little knowledge of Pioneer turntables other than what I read, so thought I would seek some opinions.

    PL-518 vs. PL-55X

    I know these aren't necessarily two turntables that are usually compared, but they are the two 1970's-era Pioneer TTs that I'm regularly seeing in my price range at the moment, so I wanted to query the audiokarma brain on them. So, if you had the option between a PL-518 and a PL-55X, assuming...

    Pioneer PL-518 Automatic Return point is in the middle of the label, how do I fix it?

    I'm trying to fix the automatic return on my PL-518. The stylus doesn't return when it gets to the end of the record, but if I lift it up and move it towards to the center it will kick in and return once it gets about halfway into the sticker label. I took off the little rubber cap and used...

    Hi everyone! I have a PL-518, which I recently acquired and need to service. Any advise will be welcome on this, so many things to do: The tonearm isn't returning very smoothly compared to some of the youtube videos I saw. What do you need to oil or grease? The plastic cover is all scratched...

    No sound from PL-518 after replacing power supply board

    My table stopped spinning mid-record a while back, and after a great odyssey which ended with me buying a new power supply board and resoldering everything I've finally gotten it all back in to working order and plugged it in—only now there's no audio, only a hum through the speakers...
