veneering process of a 40 years old Pioneer PL-518 turntable
มุมมอง 62K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I have got this turntable a couple of years ago. This is a semi-automatic, direct drive turntable from 1978/1979, everything was working well but it was in a quite bad cosmetic shape so I have decided to give a real veneer and oil finish to it. The cracked lid has been replaced too. The process lasted about a month. Veneer: smoked walnut Oil: Danish Oil (4 coats) Thanks to Hauch Tomi for his in...

music sucks big time
Cool !! Good music.
Looks great and even as a life long Metal Head I enjoyed the music
yes the music has got to go
Black mat would be nice too
So damn good ! Nice job :- ) A little too fast but slowing down it helped to see some of the quicker steps. Super work.
Great job ,could u advice where to get vaneer?
Well done Sir!
for the ones thinking on upgrading their tables...recently and after several years and being skeptical about modern sounding tables I moved from this one to an Audiotechnica Lp7 and the difference on sound was significantly better , game changer! glad I made that decision.
What type of veneer did you use? 10 mil / 20mil? wood on wood?
really helpful!
That looks fantastic! I never bothered to look into redoing the veneer, and now it's my only plan. Love it. I've had my 518 sitting for a few years. Previous owner cut the audio cords and I haven't gotten around to relacing them. This might be my January project and finally get to listen to it!
Nice!! 🙂
Holly Mackeral....is that your full time job?
Du grand art bravo très belle restoration
how do you glazed the plastic cover?
The music was dreadful bro
About to do this to my Technics SL-M3 Quartz Direct Drive Turntable next month. While getting the internal parts service. It runs but has been yrs since it's been used.
They sound great.
great job!
WOW, what a labor of love on that thing, came out great but I probably wouldn't have gone through all that trouble haha. Well done sir.
so cute i love baby chameleons
👍👍👍
Really neat what you did with the PL-518. I got mine in October of 1979 and have liked it fine as-is. I still have original cartons (for moving) and original receipt. I paid $118 at Churchill Audio in Brooklyn. I first used a Shure M91 pickup then added another headshell (so easy to swap-out) with Shure M95ED, updating the stylus to HE. Still performs well and it really is a manual turntable as stated in Pioneer's advertising. Nicely done, congrats.
Now in 2024 it's gonna be 488,52$

The idea is good but the implementation is bad. Look at the edges, there are marks and imperfections. Also there are no letters in upper surface. And the time to be done is TOO long!
Yes, it is far from perfect, but I am not a woodworker just an it guy. I do not have professional tools and experience either, this was my first veneering. Since then I have created a pair if speakers that looks much greater though they are not perfect either. BUT it was worth for me, since now it looks better and it was done by me. Probably it is not a thing to others but it is a thing for me. I could put letters to it with a laser engraver I have but I prefer not to have any letters on it. Anyway, thanks for Your comment
Can you tell us the thickness of the veneer used, please? @goblinhungary
my favorite one from this year is the PL-540 , cast iron . No problems with it. The work is excelent but i wouldn´t have the patience
Brilliant job but such a beautiful turntable deserve a sme headshell 👍
Thanks mate, I will check the SME headshell if I can buy somewhere
Great choice of music! 😂
Slow very slow😂
Que belleza 😍
Idk why I was just recommended this but I am not disappointed, what a funny lil creacher
She’s pissed lol
Haha, the most suspicious creature alive......
that's a veiled not a panther. cute regardless
Like new !!!
Très drôle 🤣
Baszkiiii, ez K jó!!!
Magnifique.
I have a belt drive PL-512 and want to do the same, thanks for the video but now I'm thinking of replicating the plinth with a block of solid wood and having it routered out to the same shape and dimensions, for simplicity and may be more solid too !?!
If You can find a proper piece of solid wood then it is absolutely the best solution You can get! But be careful with the the thickness of the wood and make sure that the wood is dry enough.
BEAUTIFUL job!!!!
Wonderful
👍
Great job.......AWFUL AWFUL music.....thank god for the mute button🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why Oh Why the stupid Background music if you can call it that.. Totally spoils the video. In fact I turned off the sound.
Thank You for Your very useful comment. I am terribly sorry that I could not put a music as background that liked by EVERYONE.
@@goblinhungary This sh**-musik kills the whole clip; good restauration-job!
Interesting, but bloody awful noise!
Feel free to mute. Or just, you know, leave.
REALLY nice transformation.
Hi! I have a PL561X turntable and the plastic top has turned ugly yellow on me too. Can you tell me which company made it for you?

@@goblinhungary Thanks for the help!
Do you have the name of the guy in the US that does it?@@goblinhungary
Of all the Pioneers models, this is my favorite. Great job!!!
Thanks a lot, I like this turntable model very much too!
Beatiful. Hey you had a scratched dust cover, how could you achieved such a clear result in a couple of minutes?
It is a different lid, it was replaced too
nice
