Post a picture of your turntable

[zwuttoo]

JVC QL 7 is a nice turntable, just keep an eye out for the famous "sagging" from the UA 5045 tonearm shaft at the rear where the counterweight is attached( a rubber bushing suspension), it's not a question of "if" it will fail but "when", can be a PITA to repair! (google or search our forum)





PS
A dirty trick for selling the arm/turntable is to screw the counterweight as far towards the bearing point as possible so that "the sagging" is not visible!

Thanks. I've seen photos of this condition, thankfully mine is in good shape, at least for now.

Great, enjoy your nice JVC QL7 turntable/arm combination with lots of inspiring music experiences and adventures into vinyl.

We need 3D rubber printers.

I do wonder whether someone could 3D print a plastic material in a pattern that would work almost as well as the original rubber.

We need 3D rubber printers.

You can 3D print TPU: Thermoplastic Poly Urethane.
That is a synthetic thermoplastic rubbery (when a sufficiently soft variation is used) elastomer

Someone with a JVC arm should take note.

eBay extras for $25.
