    Technics SL-DL5 FC302 Cabinet Switch Help

Closer inspection showed that the moving tab on the cabinet switch was broken off so the turntable thought...

    Technics SL-D3 works, except the platter is not spinning...

    Hello there, got myself an SL-D3 for like $8 from the junk pile at the local used store, and spent $8 more on a head with an AT10G cart. The title basically says it all, connected it to power, the strobe lights up, but no movement from the platter at any speed setting or record size, the...

    Replacement Screw for Sl-1600 feet & other questions

    Hi all! I recently ordered some isolation feet for my SL-1600 MK1. They came with the completely wrong screw to install them. I was playing around with some different screws and found that the #6 screws sort of work, but not perfect. I somewhat stripped one of the holes with a #8 screw, but that...

    ISO Technics SL-235 Spindle

    First time poster here. I've recently found my father's old Technics SL-235 TT. I've replaced the belt and it seems to be running relatively well but I can't be sure because I don't have one of the proper spindles. From the research I've done, it seems like the non-stacking spindle was used on...

    Technics SL-1300 Mk2 recapping and death glue questions

    Hello all, I am in the middle of restoring a Technics SL-1300 Mk2 I recently acquired and I am at the part where I am about to order new electrolytics from Mouser. The first thing I can across is a capacitor in the AC section, before the transformer. The service manual calls for a polyester...

    Technics SL-D20 Static/Possible Grounding Issue - Please Help!

    I have a Technics SL-D20 table in excellent condition and working order, with the exception of one problem. I can play 2-3 album sides with no issues, and soon after, a noticeable "buzz" comes through. If I touch the platter, the buzz will respond. I have a ground wire connected properly, and...

    drifting tone arm

    Trying to rehab a Technics SLB100 turntable I found in the basement. All is well at this point except that whenever I lower the stylus, the arm immediately wanders off to the side. I could hold the turntable at a steep angle and it will still do this (uphill). I've tried balancing the tone...
