    Restoration/repair services for Technics SL-7

    I'm located in the Kansas City area and looking to have my turntable repaired. It has operated faithfully with minimal needs. Recently, I'm having a random skating issue. I believe it's time to have this 40+ year old unit freshened up. Do any of you have recommendations on a top quality facility...

    New to vinyl, worth upgrading sl-j2 to sl-7?

    New here and new to vinyl. Have a Technics SL-J2 as my first turntable and love it. I have health issues and wanted something with as little fuss as possible, and that thing is pretty close to plug and play which is great. Wondering if the SL-7 would be a big enough upgrade in sound quality to...

    Technics SL-7 Tonearm cord/rope replacement

    Has anyone had any success in making or replacing the cord/rope that drives the linear tonearm? This is a common problem on these units and surpised aftermarket replacements are not available.

    Detailed Technics SL-10 Disassembly guide

    Found on the web. Thought this would be useful for some. Very detailed walk through with step-by step directions, diagrams, photos and more. This was definitely useful for me with SL-7 and might be useful for other LTs in the same family http://www.onekana.com/project_view.asp?projectid=43

    Technics SL-7 P cart differences (22, 24, ect.)

    I just picked up a SL-7 and want to change the Ort. to a Jico boron stylus. Since im in the U.S., it's difficult for me to find one. I see a lot of P-22, P-24, and so on. What is the difference between these? Do any of you have one for sale?

    Technics SL-7 channels shorted

    Has anyone run into this problem before? The positive and negatives on the phono cables are shorted out. Someone spliced a short RCA cord onto the cables about 5 inches from the back. I didn't like the tape job and needed a longer cable anyway so I spliced a new set onto the unit and lo and...

    Technics SL-7 Latch Repair and Refurbish

    I just bought my first record player, a Technics SL-7 with some problems on ebay with the intent to fix it up and use it. It has the infamous cracked latch and is missing the 45 adapter for some odd reason. It's a really impressive machine, I'm surprised how much of it is metal. I'll be...
