    Hi all! Recently acquired myself a Technics SL-D2 turn table used off offerup. In the listing I noticed it had been missing its Balance weight and was wondering if anyone here has experience with replacing them and how to do it? I ordered the correct(?) part off E-Bay am not sure how to go...

    Used SL-D2 w/ Pickering NP/AC cart + PD07-C stylus

    How do I know whether to replace only the stylus or the cartridge with it? Also, any advice on whether to just get it a new stylus, which one, or an also a new cart and which one of those. I’m newly back into vinyl. I assume that at minimum, the stylus needs replacement. When I put the head on...

    Technics SL-D2 Dust Cover Compatibility

    Hi all -- Girlfriend's dad has a beloved SL-D2 with a dust cover that needs replacement. He's keen on a hinged cover instead of a set-on, so I've been trying to source a used and/or broken D2 to harvest the dust cover (and, hoping against hope, an interesting cartridge) for him as a surprise...

    Fix for the broken Technics dust cover "hinge tab"

    I recently bought an SL-Q33 with broken dust cover tab. Since I've got a cheap 3D printer at home I made a 3D printable fix that seems to work quite well. Apparently many Technics turntables have the same hinge design, and most of them have the same problem. Thus, I uploaded it to Shapeways...

    Technics SL-D5 Turntable - - Runaway Speed issue

    I just picked up a really nice, clean SL-D5 turntable, with BOTH spindles. This has been taken care of well, It looks like it's worth the effort. Dust cover is in good condition, clean etc. etc. I was excited, but the seller warned me that there was a speed control issue. I thought, no problem...

    My new (to me) sl-d2

    I know she’s nothing super special, but she’s my first fully functional non-fidgety table in well over a decade. She was listed as “for parts/untested, platter spins” on eBay for $40 so I decided it was worth a chance. I blow more than that on food in 3 work days (prepared warm food makes me...

    What sounds better for a Technics SL-D3 - the ADC PSX 30, or the Audio Technica AT95E?

    It's a Technics SL-D2. I purchased the TT used, and it came with an ADC PSX-A cart. It has a blue stylus, so I am guessing it is a PSX-10. It sounded good (before the stylus broke), so I either want to upgrade to a PSX-40 stylus, or just buy an Audio Technica AT-95e cart. The ADC is a P...

    Found my entry into vinyl at a thrift shop. Need help sorting it out.

    I recently picked up a Technics SL-D2 at a thrift shop. I don't know much about TTs, but have enough general knowledge upstairs to know that it was well worth the $19.99 I paid for it. I grabbed it just as another guy was making his way around to that aisle. Just as I put it into my cart, he...

    Hello, I read a lot of posts here on AK while looking for a TT. I landed with a Tachnics SL D2 in great shape! I had bought a Garrard Z2000B but there was some issues with it so I'm going to keep it and try and fix it but I wanted a working table in the meantime. Can anyone identify this...

    First TT decision -- Yamaha v. Technics

    Hello all, I've spent the past week+ feverishly researching the fundamentals of TT's, brands/models to look for etc while scouring my local CL, in hopes of landing a decent entry-level table. I've narrowed my selection down to two listings: a Yamaha P751 which appears to be in excellent shape...

    Technics SL-D2 Stopped Spinning

    Hi everyone, I'm new to troubleshooting turntables and electronics in general and would like some help. Just before my sl-d2 stopped spinning, it would speed up really fast while playing and wouldn't stop unless I switched off the power from the wall. Now it seems to have died on me, as it does...
