Darn typos...I typed purchased, not punched....lol.....got to love A.I. It knows better then a human.....yeah ok ..lol

Picked up this TT from an estate sale for $20, works excellent and sounds great. Came with an audio technica cartridge, replaced it with a higher end Pickering XSV5000 and now it sounds like I paid $1000+ for it! I have it connected to a Harman KardonHK825 preamp paired with a Harmon Kardon AVR347, Infinity Reference speakers, klipsch subwoofer. Solid table, mine does have very touchy pitch controls, assuming they needs the contacts cleaned. Been using this table daily for about a full year now with no problems until today, my tonearm cue will no longer lift the arm high enough to clear the record so when it reaches record end and automatically returns to its perch it slides/scratches across the entire album. Taking it in for service tomorrow, either it's out of adjustment or maybe it needs a new spring, either way it's well worth the cost of the small repair. Extremely happy with this table, if I can find another working unit I will not hesitate to buy it on sight. One thing I did have a problem with was some feedback through the sub when stylus was placed on record and volume was turned up high, punched a set of SVS subwoofer isolation feet and replaced the original rubber feet on my table with them and I also stopped at home Depot and picked up four 4"x4" granite squares and placed them under the new feet and the feedback was gone! Great rock solid table!!! I use mine everyday for hours and it's a trooper!!

Please find another hobby, and stop destroying beautiful Hifi equipment.

I'm looking to purchase one of these. I've found one but the owner claims the wheel inside that drives the turntable and changes the speed is slightly off so sometimes it slows down or stops spinning altogether. Is this a lost cause or could I pick it up and fix it ?

For the speed adjustment should I spray deoxit in the front or is it best to take it apart in the bottom and spray through there where the board is at?

Thank You!!!!!! My uncle passed a few years back and I inherited ALL of his electronics and albums….soooooo many turntables I don’t know what to do with but this one I was attracted to. This video guided me how to fix the arm and I was successful. Now listening to Cowboy Carter on Vinyl!!! Thanks a lot bro!

Don't reform ! Replace ! Parts Express !!! You'll thank Me later !!!

I always liked the looks of the mid 70s Pioneers and Marantz TT. They really look the part. I currently have a Sony PSX-55 which I like quite a bit. Not near as beautiful though.

PS. I picked the 41D off a skip! Perfect but arm was trashed, I fitted a 70s Audio Technica tonearm which suited it perfectly.

I had a 41 which I got rid of... (Mind you I've had hundreds of great TTs and currently have about 12 and nothing much beats a TD124).. But still regret it. Great chassis. great bearing. Great motor. Just a rather lightweight, bell ringing platter was the weak link, but easy to upgrade - With the audiophiles greatest friend - Plasticine..

Thanks. I need to remove the capstan roller but it looks quite fragile because of the rotating magnet.

Are you willing to share the documentation u have

Sx990

12v?

I have a 1257 and the start/stop lever is stuck in the on position. Any suggestions on how to fix? Other than unplugging it every time like I do now?

My dad bought a g8000 at the PX on Crete where he was stationed in 1978, with the money the German gov gave him when i was born... my nappies, baby clothes and pram money went to a g8000, as well as a cassette deck (sansui SC3100), a reel to reel (Pioneer RT707), a turntable (Pioneer PL560), 2 Kenwood KL777s and 2 KL777d..... and today all this equipment is running perfectly at my house in SOUTH AFRICA.... and looks as good as it did in the pics from when i was a newborn baby!

Is rca replacement very difficult? My right channel goes in snd out, I've narrowed itndoen to the rca, but I've never soldered before.

My tonearm on pl117d returns but right before the tonearm rest it seems to stick and doesn't finish to the rest...any help would be appreciated.

As noted elsewhere in the comments, the platter's center rubber comes out revealing finger lift holes. Banging on the spindle is... an awful method.

Mr. Miller...I still am going to clean controls but left channel has lesser volume than right channel ...what else may this point to

I just watched an interview with a dual specialist. You are not supposed to use grease only machine oil it was on the sky labs channel. The grease attracts dirt.

Could you post a link to the “bad transistor list”? Thanks, digging the vids.

Great video series. I also had damage to a PL-530 that I had bought on eBay from shipping. After replacing the timing motor the turntable works great.

I wish mine was that easy to change belts on I have Marantz SD-530b. I had to take the hole transport out and unsolder about 4 wires going to the motors since its a three motor system. took me two days to finish it, but it runs and sounds great

I own both the Pioneer Sx-1010 and Sx-737 in my collection. Both restored, recapped. Along with 2 Marantz receivers Model 2245 and 2238b

While you’re there could you show how to oil the table?

Hello, I have a problem, I have a pioneer pl-05. There is sound coming from the needle, but there is no sound coming from the amplifier. Can you help me

is there a site where we can put serial number to check the production date ?

Hi. What CST rating did your diff fluid have? I am about to re-do my 2050C. Tnx

The PL-200 is a great device.

Good idea if i was you i wouldn't work pn another sorry Mate

Sorry Mate but i don't think you know what you're doing?

I've got the 2230 with the champagne engraved plate with a gorgeous zebrawood replica case from Vintage Hifi Audio. Only paid $250 about a year ago. Relamped it myself, bought new capacitors and then took it to a tech to have them installed. Also have a 2270 with the champagne engraved plate. This one has its original walnut case. Paid $800 within the last year but had to drive a long way to pick it up. Relamped this one and recapped too. And then a 2235 with the silver face plate, relamped and just recapped the power board on this one. My 2230 streams through a Wiim Pro through a Geshelli Labs J2 DAC with the AKM 4499 chipset and Sparkos opamps in a wood case (zebrawood and purple heart). I'm running Coral BX-300 speakers with a Hsu VTF-2 subwoofer, which runs off the remote speaker outputs. The result is awesome, both to look at and listen to. Right now, the 2270 is running stacked Original Large Advents. They're fun but I'm going to upgrade. I'm thinking Klipschorns when I can find them at a decent price, though those things don't need anywhere near 70 WPC.

Just dragging the turntable over a wooden bench without protection. I’d be pissed if I saw you repairing my equipment this way. Serves the guy right who purchased that garbage table.

Hello. My PL-630 is stable on quartz lock but unstable when pitch control selected. Have you any hints to fix? I have cleaned the pitch/quartz select swith and the caps have been done. By the way, the Part 1 video is excellent, but no Part 2!

I worked on a Kenwood that loads like that for Stuart at Recycled Sounds. It sort of worked but had pinch roller issues. New pinch rollers don't always do the trick either. I gave it back to him.

I have the 5120 deck I'm repairing. It's the vu meters which are gorgeous. The 5120 has the same vu.

Hi, I have the same record player. I need to replace the belt. Can you link the belt you replaced? Thank you!

The display enlightenment was positioned by a blind person, I guess.

use a head lamp - Zebra lights are great

Thank you for this series! What type of thermal compound are you using / do you recommend?

i don't understand why there isn't more of a demand for these. anyone who listens to records in 2025, whether old audiophiles, or young people who like having physical copies of their favorite music - why wouldn't you want the capability to listen to multiple records in a row without having to manually change them? I've had a crosley stack-o-matic since college. still works. plays vinyl, casettes, cds, and radio, and has speakers built in. looks cool, still works. Why are they shit on? why no market for this design?

Would you believe someone brought one of these over for me to work on? It actually works. The controls need a good cleaning. Yes, it probably needs recapped. I have never done a recap for someone else. I work slow on my own stuff.

Did I miss something or you did not pull the motor for inspection/service? Also, isn't the motor pulley convex in shape? You can do some adjustment of the speed. Linn tables are adjustable this way but of course there setup you can pivot the motor plus flip the outer platter to better see what you're doing. Softer furniture grade foam works better than the stiffer denser ME.

Even if you bring this turntable back to original, it's still, while maybe not a total POS, pretty much a POS. The Pl-512, Pl-514 with synchronous motor belt drive are superior designs with much more accurate speed designs.

I bought my sx-1010 3 years ago , serviced and recapped, for $800 cash. Amazing it has doubled in value in 3 years. It works beautifully and will only be sold through my cold dead hands. Lol

As a teenager in the early 1970s, I couldn’t afford a Sansui QRX series but managed to get a Pioneer QX 4000 from a neighbor. It required a special speaker connection, and I used it for a few years until it had issues and was boxed up. In 1996, I upgraded to a Pioneer QX 949, which I still own and want to restore. However, finding someone to work on vintage quadraphonic audio equipment has been challenging. Growing up in the QS/SQ/CD4 era, I accumulated a lot of quadraphonic LPs and reel-to-reel media. After experiencing "Dark Side of the Moon" in quadraphonic, I couldn’t go back to stereo. If you're an audio enthusiast like me, you’ll understand, or if you are interested in part of the evolution of surround sound, well quadraphonic was part of that stepping stone

I think the following of the Ar-Xa has to do with the low price of $78 it was sold at, unlike the various "AR copies" such as Linn, Thorens etc which were all very expensive.

I wish I still had mine.

Just found this jan 7 2025. Had my marantz 2220B since October 18 2024, i checked its birthdate 7/15/76. I named my Marantz " Marty" and my set up system " The United Jamms Crew"
