    Unjamming an immaculate Technics SL-5 (with photos)

    Hi all, first post! I find myself surprisingly expeled from Vinyl Engine [1] and instead of faking my way back in I've decided to turn a new leaf and start somewhere else. I bought a Technics SL-5 a few months ago which was advertised as being in perfect working order. This was close to true...

    Technics SL-5 linear tracking turntable stopped playing SL5 SL 5

    Bought an SL-5 at an estate sale about 2 years ago, have been using for about 1 year very regularly, but the other day, out of nowhere, it ceased starting if I press the START button.

    Modifications to my Technics SL-5

    Hello all, I have a technics so- 5 in pretty good condition that I got from a friend. One day, I noticed that it was running a little slow, so I began adjusting the speed from the bottom. While I was adjusting the 33 rpm screw, it fell out into the chassis. I had to take the whole thing apart...

    Technics SL-5 Record Size Sensor

    After relocating across the US to California, I finally got my SL-5 set up. It's been working fine for a couple weeks now. All it needed was a good cleaning (the exterior had stickers on it), and I replaced the A-T stylus. Over the weekend, I received several albums as birthday gifts, so I...
