    Turntable Strobe dot wobbles

    I have a 1970's Technics SL-220 that is working probably good enough but the strobe dots move back and forth a very small amount. The wow measures +/-0.12 % RMS as measured with a RPM WOW phone app. I've replaced the belt twice and without significant change in the small movement. The movement...

    Hitachi ht-463 speed control issue

    Hi. I have had this tt from new. It’s been in its box for a few years and was sporadically used during the cd era. I want to use it again as I still have a lot of vinyl, some emotional. It works, almost. Sound ok (but, below…), mechanism fine. It’s direct drive, uni-torque. Problem: uneven...

    Marantz 6300 Strobe Cover

    I'm refinishing the plinth on my 6300 and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the strobe cover. I've read pull up, rotate 90 degrees, but I'm terrified of cracking the cover. Anyone know how to safely get the thing off? Thanks!

    Seeking advice regarding the replacement of the strobe lamp in a Pioneer PL-560 (1978) turntable

    It still works but it's flashing intermittently in a way that shouldn't be conflated with the regular strobe effect. I've put off changing it for over a decade. It's now or never. I think I have some orange neon strobe lamps that might work, but I'm not certain. Any advice would be greatly...

    technics sl 1200 mk2 strobe light dim

    I have a sl 1200 mk2 with a very dim strobe light. I was wondering if I should replace the lights themselves or if I'd be better of doing a recap first. I can't really find much online about replacing the strobe lights on the sl 1200, what kind of neon bulbs should I get?

    Dual 1229 : Strobe bulb is fine, something else is up

    I recently picked up a nice Dual 1229. Upon plugging it in and testing, I noted that the strobe isn't working. Believing that my original strobe bulb was shot, I ordered an LED replacement from dualfred in Germany. It arrived yesterday. Putting it in place of the original bulb, it exhibits...

    Strobe Disk Light Source

    I own a few turntables which lack a strobe to confirm speed accuracy. I printed out a free strobe disk for 33 and 45rpm speeds from Vinylengine, but lack an effective light source to use it. There are purpose built strobe light\strobe disk set available, but for such an occasional use, they...

    Technics SL-1300 Neon Bulb Replacement

    Hi, I just recently purchased an SL-1300 and currently servicing it as when I turned it on the neon lamp worked for about 30 seconds and then died, checked both fuse and 4.7k resistor and both working so must be the bulb. The only problem is they don't make them anymore (as far as I know) and...

    Pioneer PL-540 strobe light is out

    Hi all, seeking some advice about a strobe light issue on my PL-540. The strobe bulb does not light up when the turntable is on. I thought perhaps the bulb was burnt out, so I bought a NE-2 as a replacement (going off a recommendation on a similar thread about a PL-550), but that doesn't seem to...

    Flashing Speed Strobe

    I bought this second hand turntable, that was very well taken care of, apart from having a few scratches. It is Fisher Quartz Semi-automatic stereo turntable MT 8360. At the beginning everything worked perfectly fine, and I even managed to change its old cartridge by myself, but for some time...

    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...

    Help with strobe light not working in Marantz 6350Q turntable

    I've got a nice 6350Q marantz turntable that needs some work done; a friend of mine is working on its repair, but there's one thing that he couldn't get around to fix yet: the strobe light. He tells me (I'm repeating this, electronics is not my thing) that the two yellow cables coming out from...

    Dual 1219 strobe in the platter question?

    I have a Dual 1219 TT and on the rubber in the platter there are strobe lines to set the speed. How do I use these? I have used strobe lines before on other TT's where you adjust the speed and the lines stop but I just can't figure out how to get this one to work. Thanks
