    Micro (Seiki) pop!

    I have a Micro (Seiki) MR-322 that I really like. One slight annoyance though. The motor turns on automatically when you lift the tonearm off the arm rest and it shuts off when you place the tonearm back. Each time the motor starts or stops there is an audible click that comes through the...

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...

    Feedback for a JVC JT-T77 Turntable

    Hello. Is $400 a decent to good price for 'perfect condition' and 'like new' 1972 JVC JT-T77 Hall Effect Direct Drive turntable and JL-C77 cabinet, including original box with packaging and paperwork. No tone arm included. I'm not familiar with JVC turntables. What do you all think?

    JVC QL-F320 Repeating sides with "Repeat" set to off

    Problem just started in the last week and I don't want to just start disassembling in the hopes my random air can and deox spraying will help. It's a quartz lock late 70's/early 80's JVC w/ auto-return and a start/stop. The "repeat" switch feels like it is locking into place a little less than...

    SME 3009 Series ii FIXED HEADSHELL...is wobbly

    Hi folks, I have a SME 3009 series ii tonearm with a non-removable headshell. The headshell pivots inside the end of the arm, pivoting both clockwise and counter-clockwise, throwing the azimuth off. I can't figure out how to tighten or secure it. There is a little screw on the underside of the...

    Cartridge Choices

    So, after finally getting the Technics 1210MK2 I've wanted for so long, I come to find out my new-to-me deck has a busted tonearm. Go figure! Thankfully this gave me a new reason to start the process of upgrading my deck, one piece at a time. I went through and ordered a Jelco SA750D as well as...

    Hello folks, looking for some advice on a Dual 1258 I just bought. Wondering if some of you who are familiar with this or similar Dual turntables might be able to view the attached video and shed some light.

    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...

    Balance weight & stylus pressure ring de-coupled

    Just picked up a Technics SL-1400. The balance weight and stylus pressure ring on the tonearm are rotating independently. Any ideas on how to fix? I have a Shure SFG-2 stylus force gauge, so I think I can set the tracking force I need, but obviously it would be more convenient if the ring and...

    Garrard synchro-Lab 72B trouble

    My father in law gave me his old Garrard Synchro-Lab 72 B last night and I broke the tone arm before I could clean it up to get it working. We had too much crap in the car I should have waited to pick it up later. Can I apoxy this back on? The tone arm looks like it's aluminum but I think...

    I'm looking for some advice or trick to fix these sagging counter weights. I own one of each of these and their weights sag instead of being in line with the tone arm. They still work, but don't look right. I've looked at the service manual, but the tone arms are listed/referred to as an...

    Toshiba SR-50 photocell (light sensor): need infos & possible replacement.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section. At the same time, I'm asking about a quite particular semiconductor, but it's used in a rather rare turntable which has no known service info: the Toshiba SR-50, which uses the TPS-50 auto player. So I thought I could get more info here...

    Technics Tonearm Troubles

    Hey AK. I was always into spinning vinyl (if only to support local bands), so imagine my pleasure when my uncle gave me his Technics 1200! It's the classic silver MK2 model, and was completely stock. It came with the original headshell, the original 45 adaptor; hell, even the original dust...
