So when I got the turntable, everything works fine with an exception of the speed was going too fast ! much faster than 45. I open the back cleaned all of the pots including the 45 and 33 fine-tuning pots that are on the circuit board put it back together and no change. So I bought the new motor...
I just bought a Technics SL-D2, it’s in amazing shape besides the fact that it doesn’t power on.
The strobe light doesn’t turn on, there’s no sounds coming from it. Nothing happens when you hook it up and try playing something.
I’ve tried wiggling around the power cord and nothing has happened...
Hi there, i'm looking for help with my newly aquired (it was inherited) Sansui turntable.
It is in fantastic condition without a single scratch on the body. However, when i tried to turn it on, i found that i runs way too slow. If i switch from 33 to 45 it does increase speed. When playing a...
Hi all, I'm looking for advice on connecting my turntable to a home audio system already in place in a new house. Here is the situation:
There are in ceiling speakers connected to a receiver in the living room. I plan to have my turntable and phono preamp in another room with its own receiver...
Long story about a great deal on a Tandberg TR2060 receiver I just picked up - but for now, I have to use this giant 1970's pressboard cabinet/ rack because the receiver is so wide. And now my turntable skips when I walk across the floor. So until I work out how to fix that (and I can't...
Hello,
I am just getting into some vinyl and I wanted to ask the pros about a turntable.
I'm looking at a Project One DR-550. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any opinions?
Seller is wanting around $100 for it. Sound like a good deal?
Hello,
I've been working on restoring this old SK14M turntable that works fine besides the platform itself slowing/catching while turning occasionally. I believe it just needs some good love and a little cleaning but I cannot figure out how to get into the turning platform itself. I have the...
Just some upgrades to a pretty basic vintage TT. There was a short in the RCA cable so I took the opportunity to upgrade to terminals rather than a fixed RCA cable, upgraded the ground terminal and power cable.
Here's the before:
And the after:

I recently purchased a Yamaha YP-211 turntable for cheap on Facebook Marketplace. It’s a nice looking, vintage turntable but the rear tonearm holder is broken, which prevents the auto return feature from working.
As soon as I purchased the turntable I took it to a local electronics repair shop...
I replaced my Shure M44-7s with a new pair of Audio-Technica AT-XP7s this week, and they sound absolutely amazing.
While setting-up my SL-1200s for the new cartridges, I decided to put together a quick, informative video.
hey guys
it seems like there is little information available on Harman Kardon turntables.
I am specifically interested in what the differences are between the ST and the T series turntables.
From what I could gather from the pricing on eBay, ST series seem to be more expensive than the T...

I bought this defective sony biotracer one ebay and it's completely unresponsive. I have been reading around a bit and it seems that it's most likely an ic that's broken. However before I go around and look for a replacement I would like to cross out all the other possible defects and confirm...
Hi All,
I'm looking for some help/guidance with some issues I am having with a Mitsubishi DP-EC7 table we just acquired. The table did not come with an owner's or service manual, so I am basing my understanding of proper operation on this video:

The table we...
I have a JVC QL-A220 turntable from the early 80's, my first "real" turntable. The auto return function doesn't seem to be working, and I narrowed it down to a missing engagement lever in the turntable's inner workings. However, I couldn't find the missing lever anywhere inside of the turntable...
Anybody have any experience or info one this thing? I know its not a great table but I picked it up for 5 bucks so i could have a system in my office. Fixed the idle, put the belt back on the casette deck, cleaned the 8 track head, and well cleaned everything lol and its running great. only...
Ok, so first is first. I'M new but not new. Been lurking in the shadows reading, learning, experimenting, putting into effect, contemplating, etc., a lot of things here on AudioKarma that I have come across throughout my home theater journey.
Finally have come around to the point of trying to...
Found a KLH Model 20 turntable/receiver with the speakers for $125. They are apparently in "working" condition but they are pretty rough cosmetically (specifically the speakers). Do you guys think this will be worth the time and cost of cleaning them up? Any insight appreciated, Thanks!
Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.
I have a Pioneer PL-540 that I picked up for cheap a while ago, hoping I could nurse it back to health. The motor works, but the speed isn't right. Auto-return and bearings are fine. There are also some cosmetic issues: a broken tonearm rest, a burnt...
Good Evening AK! Just inherited a SR-838, which I've been wanting for a while see what gives and how it stacks up against my SL-1200 MKii. That being said, first thing i noticed was the motor was not seated correctly inside the main motor housing. I took all that apart and found that the...
I have an SL-1300 that I got off mercari. Generally working very well. RCA's and Ground look original possibly. I hooked up to Pre-amp and I am getting general buzz. Ground is just loose wires no fork with plastic, maybe fork was cut off. When I touch copper directly while on the ground on...
I didn't see a general troubleshooting thread, so apologies ahead of time if there is one.
I have a Pioneer PL-516 that looks to be in pretty good condition. Clean belt, well oiled parts, proper cartridge/stylus placement (49mm), balanced tonearm, etc. However, when I put a record on, I hear a...
