    Pioneer PL-L1000 Issue

    I have a Pioneer PL-L1000 that I bought from someone locally around a year ago (replaced the tonearm belt after I got it) and it has been working perfectly ever since. I was playing a record a couple days ago and at the end of the album the arm didn't lift and return to rest but stayed spinning...

    Fixing a Sansui XR-Q7 - Game On

    While late night surfing on auction sites I type in a few turntable make and models (finding a NOS Kenwood KP-1100 in the process that sold for $1800 however I passes on it, too steep for me once duties and shipping accounted for) and stumbled across a Sansui XR-Q7 that said the following...

    Tips on replacing a bent Dual 1229 tonearm.

    Hey forum, I am very new to AK. I have a Dual 1229 with a slightly bent tonearm. Looks as though something heavy fell on it from above. There is a new old stock replacement tonearm part number 218 238, pictured, that I'm considering purchasing. It comes with the headshell and lead wires. Any...

    Pioneer PL-518 Tonearm Adjustments

    I just purchased a Pioneer PL-518 that needs some restoration, and I am trying to check out its operation capabilities right now. The existing cartridge is an ADC XLM MKII Improved, and I checked the wiring which had the RG and RS wires backwards which I have corrected. I have not checked to see...

    Rega RP1 Tonearm/Needle Will Not Drop

    I hope this is an easy fix, and I appreciate everyone's help in advance. I have a Rega RP1 w/performance pack that I've had for a couple of years, and while changing records a couple weeks ago during a rare block of time to listen to vinyl, the arm would not drop when using the lever to lower...

    headshell to tonearm connection

    I have a Garrard GT-35P turntable I am refurbishing for my 22 year old son. When I connect the headshell to the tonearm, it seems that I can't get a tight fit. There is a washer, but with or without the fit is not as tight as I have on a Pioneer turntable. Any help?

    Technics SL-1810 (MK1) NEED ADVICE

    Hello, I've got a vintage Technics SL-1810 (MK1) model. I call it MK1 because its an early release before the MK2 version I believe 1978. Unfortunately one of the bearings of the tonearm broke off due to my own stupidity. I hate to sell this beauty because it works fine and looks amazing. Parts...

    Pioneer PL-L800 tonearm problem

    First off, I searched around the 'net and couldn't find a clear answer for the issue. As the record plays the arm will hang up and I have to reach over and gently tap it or just touch it to get it to move and play through. I usually have to do 2 or 3 times across a 12 inch LP. I don't know if...
