    230V Avid Volvere turntable for U.S. use with 110V power supply?

    Hi, first post, am in need of advice regarding an overseas turntable. I have the opportunity to bring back a U.K. spec Avid Volvere turntable. My question is, can I simply purchase an Avid power supply that takes 110V/60hz U.S. voltage to power the turntable motor? Or would the motor be wired...

    Technics SL-1300 very quiet left channel

    Good evening everyone, I recently picked-up a used Technics SL-1300. After cleaning it up a bit and fixing some speed issues, the thing was running smoothly. Until after about a week of listening the left channel went pop-crack-crunch and was completely gone. After some jiggling and...

    Re-capping Technics SL-Q3 question

    Good Afternoon! I've recently acquired a Technics SL-Q3 and I want to replace the capacitors because it would be a fun project and for peace of mind. According to the schematics, C205 is showing it should be 10uf 16v but I found on C205 on the board is 220uf 6.3v, which is odd because every...

    Pioneer PL-514 Dragging across record

    A few days ago I sort of grazed/bumped into my PL-514's tonearm while the cue arm was up and immediately after that the tonearm/needle drags directly across the record when I play it. Earlier in that same day it was fine, which leads me to think it isn't just that the cartridge needs replacing...

    Cleaning and Polishing Metal Turntable Chassis

    So I picked up a Pioneer PL-400 about a week ago cheap on FB Marketplace. It was listed as not working and I was happily surprised to find that the problem was with the operator and not the turntable. It has certainly seen better days and can use a good cleaning. While the dust cover is dulled...

    Yamaha YP-B2 Turntable -- To B2 or Not to B2?

    Happy New Year! Yesterday was like Christmas again. A friend cleaned his closet and gave me a Marantz 2220B receiver and a Yamaha YP-B2 turntable. Excellent luck for me! The receiver is killer. But the turntable needs work and I'm wondering if its worth the expense. The platter spins smooth...
