    Arm Pipe Replacement for Pioneer PL-530

    Hi all, I recently picked up a Pioneer PL-A500 (the Japanese version of the PL-530). As you can see in the picture, the arm pipe is corroded and needs to be replace (can't polish chrome that isn't there).

    worth upgrading?

    Hi all, first time posting here so I hope I'm doing it right... I have a Yamaha YP-D6 but between my system being all Pioneer 9500 series and really liking the looks of them, I've been thinking about trying to get a PL-530 or a PL-570. Any advice on that? Should I just be happy with my D6 or are...

    PL-530 Turntable tonearm hovers above armrest problem

    I have managed to get my PL-530s autoreturn mechanism working sweetly, placement on record, returning to armrest position etc all working fine.

    Azden YM-P50C Stylus ?

    I hope everyone is healthy and keeping themselves busy. I have a Pioneer PL-530 that I have restored. It came with an Azden YM-P50C without a stylus that I put away as I have a brand new AT-VM95E that I have been using. It sounds really nice but I have been reading up on the Azden. From what I...

    Looking for a set of hinges and plates for a PL-530

    Does anyone have a pair of hinges/plates for a PL-530 that they would like to sell? Or point me in the right direction of something that will match up that doesn't cost more than the turntable itself? Just got one and came with the dust cover, but no hinges. Already into this table for too much...

    Pioneer PL-530 problem, please help thanks!

    Recently received a PL-530 through eBay. Cosmetically it's in good condition and it appears to be working well besides one major hiccup, the platter will not spin. Everything else works in terms of the automatic mechanics, including the spindle spinning when the platter is off of it. It seems...
