    Yet another Technics SL-1650 changer spindle question...

    Hi and thanks in advance for your help: I won a Technics SL-1650 for like $30 at a local auction a several years ago, knowing that all the spindles (including the single play) were gone. I didn't do my research first, thinking the parts would be easy to find - honestly, I had no clue that I was...

    I think I have something blocking my spindle hole (Elac 10h)

    I had fun writing that title, anyway I got an Elac 10h recently- I'm totally new to turn tables. I got a stacking spindle on ebay which said it came from a Miracord 46. I only had the single play spindle. When I inserted the stacking spindle it was super wobbly and did nothing when I stacked...

    Any solution for turntable speed faster than normal?

    I’ve just completed my refurbishment of my 1972 vintage record player radio combo. Playing some old John Denver I noticed his voice was a little higher pitched than what seemed normal for him. I clocked all the tracks on one side and found they are running 7.8 % faster than the label speed, and...

    DUAL CS604 direct drive TT - vinyl CLAMP required

    Anyone here that has seen a clamp working with the above TT? The spindle seems shorter and more tapered than meaning others. I got hold of a 'generic' michel clamp copy, and the collet piece doesn't grip the spindle at all. Even before a record is placed on the platter. Anyone know the diameter...

    Looking at an MCS for my first TT and i found the super high end 6700 for about 150. Needs a new cart and is missing the spindle to hold the record. Is that an easy repair? I can get the new cartridge no problem but can the spindle be repaired easily? I read these are actually technics...

    Philips GA 212 Spindle Removal

    I picked up this Philips GA 212 turntable a month or ago and am starting to clean it up. There is a fair amount of belt goo I'd like to clean up but the spindle is often in the way. I'd like to remove it but I'm stumped as to how to do so. On the inside (see pic attached) there is a small...

    CT-F1000

    I have a problem - picked up a CT-F1000, and upon closer inspection discovered that the spring-loaded spindle caps (the best I can describe them) are missing. The sleeves must have cracked (at least the one on the right has a hairline crack) and the spring and the cap popped off...:rant: I...

    Dual CS-626 turntable platter issue

    Hi guys! I just bought this Dual 626 turntable, and as you can see in the video, the platter is wobbly while moving. However, after correctly setting up the tonearm counterweight, the sound quality is very good, the wobble doesn't affect the music. Do you guys know what the cause of this issue...

    Hey, new here and relatively new to vinyl and related gear (maybe only 2-3 years in at this point) and just picked up a PL-112D. I've been following guides to fix it up, and after doing seemingly all I can, it's still spinning slow (checked via phone app as well as spectroscope disc). I believe...

    Spindle upgrade.

    hi to all! Today I execute a nice short project, that was sleeping for a while. (One of many) This project upgrade two aspects. One, the platter was resting one the bearing but not 100% tight on it. Two the spindle itself. So we add an O’ring and O’ring holder that make the plater fit perfect...
