    Help fixing SL-Q3 size selector failure

    I have a few Technics SL-Q3 turntables that I have been going through and cleaning up the old grease and re-capping. I have one where the size selector is just not working. It always wants to go to the 7" size. The good thing is that I have another SL-Q3 that works just fine and decided to do...

    Technics SL-Q3 tonearm hops to the left as it sets down

    So I recently found my college Technics turntable under a pile of junk at my mom’s house, a nice surprise. In fact I love it. After initial issues that you amazingly knowledgeable AK guys helped me fix, I got around to fine-tuning the tonearm's automatic-start set-down position--it was a...

    Technics SL-Q3 tonearm/pickup not moving forward

    Good evening, everybody. I was cleaning out my mom's house and found my old college Technics turntable. I was excited because after fooling with frustrating and costly changers, this deck seemed simple and straightforward, yet it had auto functions like lifting the needle and dropping it...

    Technics SL-Q3 service manuals

    Does anyone have any service manuals for the Technics SL-Q3? I have one that is working fine but would like to have a service manual in case I need to make any repairs. Much appreciated.

    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...

    SL-Q3, swap strobe/pilot

    Trying to swap out the strobe light (or whatever it's called – the visual speed-control light under the glassy pyramid) on the Technics SL-Q3. See picture. How do I do that, and how difficult is it (with no experience)? Is it an LED? What products would work? Where to order? Thanks for...

    Upgrade from SL-Q3

    I'm a happy owner of an SL-Q3 in great shape, but looking to upgrade to a better sounding/looking turntable. I wonder if it's realistic to find a better table for under $200.00 (used or new), or if I should rather consider any upgrades and/or tweaks to improve sound and aesthetics of the SL-Q3...
