John.

Hmmm... Wow, that looks very different then the PL-41 that I fixed up. The 41 has the standard thumbwheel screw to remove the P-mount cart. Is that cart the same size as a standard half inch one?

Looks cool though!

Hi, Yes I think it is a full size cart.

Have to see if I have a SM for this one. Nice machine though. Needed a couple of belts and the voltage was set at 220v. When I switch the voltage to 120v it lit up and the motors started. Just put in new RCA cables.:thmbsp:

Thanks,
John.

OK, the tonearm is fixed. all I need is a stylus.


Nice tt.

Thanks,
John.

Excellent!

I agree, in my limited experience the Sansui LTs are well made heavy tables that sound great!

I ordered a stylus last night. Should be here on Friday. I can't wait to hear this one. All mechanicals are done. Need to work on Cosmetics now.

Thanks,
John.

Unfortunately this tt uses a proprietary and apparently no longer available cartridge, unless one can be cannibalized from a parts unit. The good news is that if the cartridge isn't toast, with a new stylus it's a surprisingly fine sounding player. Even with the conical tip, which is all you can get. In spite of my initial reservations, this tt is becoming a favorite, warts and all. Weird.
