I have this turntable and it admits a lukewarm feeling on the turntable mat. Once played a Vinyl Record it feels slightly warm. Is this normal? I have used this player for 5+ years and replayed many of the same vinyl records and it hasn't warped them. Just something I have noticed with this turntable.
It’s normal for them to get warm (not hot) under the platter. Just beneath the platter bed is the heat sink for the motor speed control board. If it gets hot (not just warm) it’s probably time to replace capacitors and transistors.
@@kappandrew1 Thanks for the response this is a better way to describe what I mean "I've noticed that the platter seems to get warm when the turntable is operating, and thus the records feel slightly warm when I remove them after playing them. Not hot, mind you, just slightly warm." Guessing that's pretty normal?
I bought one of these brand new back in the 80's. I still have it and it works great.
You really have a lot of cool stuff. I checked out your eBay shop, saw the Nakamichi tape deck. Nice!
Yeah, I love this stuff! I wanted all of this stuff back in the 80-90s…
and I see another one 😁
Hi Andy..I have this exact model..Can you recommend a nice warm sounding P Mount ? Thx.
where do you get parts from i have a sl-dl5 and i am sure it needs a new belt
New to me, nice info. Subscribed to channel
Welcome aboard!
This is a direct drive TT no belt
It is direct drive, but these Linear Tracking turntables have a separate belt that moves the tonearm
@@almightyian I see what you mean, I changed it too

Is this for sale? Hoping to have one.
This one did sell. I done have any in stock currently. Sorry
Do these have build-in pre-amp?
No, they do not. But… that’s to your advantage. I put some videos out there on preamplifiers. Man, some of those are so sos soooossss good!
