    I've been having speed problems with this table since I pulled out of storage about a year ago. It is properly balanced, platter not scraping anywhere or anything, and I have lubed with sewing machine oil where I can, and taken out the spindle and cleaned/oiled.

    Recently bought a used Sansui SR-212 turntable which is missing the anti skate (bias?) weight. I downloaded the service manual but there are no specifications anywhere as to the weight/dimensions of the original.

    Systemdek 2 (or II) Belt recommendation

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a supplier of good turntable belts? Also, the existing belt has begun to ride out of position on the drive pulley. It tends to ride down a bit to towards the 45rpm slot and so turns the platter at a higher speed. Will a new belt probably fix this? Or can anyone offer...

    Marantz 1650 TT too fast

    Hi guys, Just purchased a lightly used Marantz 1650 TT. It's running ever slightly too fast at 33.7 RPM. The pitch adjustment knob is turned as slow as it can go, but it's still slightly too fast. Is there another route to slow the motor other than the pitch adjustment on the deck? Thanks.

    Puzzler - why is turntable output suddenly lower?

    I have a strange situation with my Denon DP-47F. A few days ago, the sound got dodgy, like there was dust on the stylus. One channel went off intermittently. The stylus of the Ortofon 2m Red was clean. Eventually both channels played fine. But yesterday I replaced the cartridge with an Empire...

    Shopping for carts and styli shouldn't be this difficult

    Hi, I think I'm in need of a new stylus and maybe a new cart. I'm not sure. But what I am sure about is the distorted vocals on my records especially the "s" sound. The vocals are so scratchy that I've given up on listening to anything other than electronic music without vocals. My problem may...

    Issues with skipping on inner grooves and dead wax.

    Hey everyone. I just upgraded from a Jelco SA-750D to a TK-850S and I'm running into a problem. Since installing the new arm a couple days ago, I've found that records are prone to skipping in the inner grooves. Also, rather than tracking through the run off toward the label, the stylus jumps...
