It's ALIVE!!!!

Finally got around to replacing all of the **** house transistors, electrolytic capacitors, neon lamp, and deoxit on the potentiometer. I bought it without powering it on and didn't want to take chances of blowing a board till I replaced everything. Runs like a dream and motor is holding steady RPMs

I got a decent deal on it and I have the original SUT for the DL-103 cart, with the manual, and receipts. Now to polish the dust cover and decide on a cart, thinking Nagaoka MP-110 for now and a DL-103 later.

Nice. I had a a DP-3000 that worked well until it didn't and then it did again after I recapped it.

My DP 3000 came into my possession with parts missing off the board so I needed to work out what those components were. There was also stuff disconnected too what a mess.
Now mine runs great, just speeds up very slightly after 10 minutes so I set it correct for 10 minutes running. I will dig deeper probably during the up coming lock down as seems I will have the time.
It might just be the nature of the beast, but we will see..
