    Moving a US Pioneer PL-A35 to Europe – Hunting for a 50Hz Pulley

    Hi everyone, I am sending my old beloved Pioneer PL-A35 to a friend in Europe. Fortunately, my deck features the built-in multi-voltage transformer (100V-240V selector), so adapting to European voltage is already covered. However, it currently has the native US 60Hz motor pulley installed...

    Hello, I have the old Victor (JVC) JL-A15 from my late father in law which was in the Philippines (60hz country). I need to get a new motor pulley compatible with Europe 50hz. I cannot find one online and seen some people making their own DIY thing. Anyone have a solution?

    Mitsubishi LT-5V Tonearm Pulley String

    A friend gave me this old turntable and in my attempts to get it to work I opened the back and noticed that the turntable belt needs replacing (easy enough) but also that the pulley string for the tonearm has come unattached/stretched out. I am having trouble finding any documentation about...

    JVC VL-5 pulley adjustment

    Hi, I bought a JVC VL-5 for my wife's birthday and it runs great - there's just one problem. it is slow when playing 45s. The service manual advises that the belt pulley needs to be the same height as the belt guide when in the 33 position but it is too low. it merely advises to adjust the...

    AR-XA Upgrade Pulley Question: Haydon Motor

    I just bought an AR-XA. Looks to be from 1972. Amost all original. I'm planning to do some tweaks, and am planning an upgrade path. The first I had hoped to do was the mass loaded pulley from Vinyl Nirvana. I see its only for Hurst motors. Mine is a Haydon. Am I out of luck? The...

    PART NEEDED: Marantz 2230 tuner band pulley-wheel... where to find one?

    Hey there Marantz Nutz! I scored a super-clean 2230 with only one issue: it's missing one of the little pulley wheels that feed the band to / from dial wheel. I've attached an image of the part. Does anybody have a spare or two they'd be willing to "part" with, or know a reputable place I can...

    Pioneer PL-115D Turntable 60 Hz Capstan / Pulley

    I have a PL-115D that has a 50 Hz capstan. I live in the USA so of course, I need to use a 60 Hz pulley instead. Am I correct to assume that a 60 Hz pulley from most any 1970s Pioneer belt-drive turntable will work properly? Or in other words, are the 60 Hz Pioneer belt-drive pulleys pretty...

    KLH Model eleven 11 spinning too fast

    I have a beautiful KLH model 11. It just came out of servicing sounding perfect. However it has begun to speed up, and after switching it from playing a 45 to a 33, it is now fast. Not as fast as a 45, but I counted 111 rotations in 3 minutes so the voices do not match. Some history, I live in...

    Kenwood KP 3021 Turntable motor pulley

    Hello all. I have recently acquired a KP 3021. It plays too slowly. After investigation it seems that this TT came with two pulleys. One for 50 Hz and one for 60 Hz. I am guessing that I have to wrong sized pulley which is the reason for the problem. (Incidentally, I did put a new correct...

    Thorens TD-125 motor on TD-160?

    After having acquired my second TD-160 to adjust and sell, I noticed some differences but the one about the motor pulley really strikes me: this is the pulley in the TD-160 I already posted about here. A Google search would suggest this is a TD-125 pulley. Is it possible early TD-160s mounted...

    DIY Turntable Advice Needed!

    Hello everyone! I'm willing to start a pretty ambitious project: building my own turntable! I want to stay pretty simple with a classic look: a 33/45 belt-driven platter with solid wooden plinth and wooden faceplate. And I'm really loving this project so far! I do have a few technical...
