    HELP! Technics SL-D2 Not powering on

    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.

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...

    Has anyone here ever ordered replacement circuitry/parts from Union Electronic Distributors?

    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...

    KLH Model 20 System

    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!
