    Pioneer PL-570 (70s) Speed/Auto Issues

    Alright. I bought a basket case 570 a few months ago and I’m struggling to get it going. Unit was recapped be previous owner. Basically, when start is pressed, motor sometimes “twitches” and the arm moves over. Once the arm moves into position, the unit shuts off and arm stays at starting...

    PWG-011 Board Needed

    Looking for either a PWG-011 or PWG-017-0 for my Pioneer PL-570 direct drive turntable. Mine has the PWG-017-0 board in it and has a bas PD1001 IC chip. If anyone has one or any leads please let me know. I look on ebay almost daily with no luck. Thanks in advance!

    Pioneer PL-630 counterweight compatibility

    Hi folks, I'm restoring a PL-630 that is missing the headshell and counterweight. I have another pioneer headshell that works and am patiently watching for an original but I'm missing the counter weight, I haven't had much luck on the auction site and need something to test with, so I'm thinking...

    Pioneer PL570 tonearm timing motor replaced

    My Pioneer PL570 (original version) was slow to drop arm on rest and turn off and noisey while doing so. I cleaned auto mechanism motor cam and re-greased. Oiled pivot points. I'm sure I got auto out of its sequence. So now when plugged in, auto motor tries to turn, but mechanism is stopping it...

    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...

    SX-950 left channel fried when I dropped the needle!! TWICE!

    Hello All...I am completely mystified. This is the second time this exact same thing has happened. When queuing up a record to play on my PL-570 I accidentally dropped the needle onto the surface and it blew the left channel of my SX-950. First a pop, then smoke. Both times it was the left...

    Pioneer PL-570 45 and 33 rpm adjustments.

    I have a PL-570 I got off flea-bay. It had some issues. The auto-functions have been restored. In the process I recapped all of the boards. When working with the auto-return I noticed that pot v101 was not working and clean it. I also cleaned v102 and v103. I have detector board PWX-017 which...

    Pioneer PL-570 Auto-return fix

    I have a PL-570 I picked up off flea-bay. None of the automatic functions worked. First, I completely disassembled the TT and put a cherry veneer on it. I fixed the cracked motor gear with a 3D printed bandaid solution, (works very well so far). With the auto tonearm drop function working and...

    Mid-repair Pioneer PL-570 - advice wanted please

    A big thanks first to the forums; I've been able to get pretty far without asking a new question. I have inherited a wood veneer PL-570. I'm trying to get automation to work; I can set it such that manual play works, but there are hitches in auto play. The timing cam sticks at two places in...

    Pioneer Turntable Fight: PL-55X vs PL-570

    Which do you believe is better? And by PL-570, I mean the TOTL 1970s version, not the 1980s version.
