I have a STR8-50 , that I've had for over 8 years now. Since day 1, I've had to place something under the power cord, because I thought, maybe it's a loose connection and just didn't want to open/fiddle with the unit. Your video gave me the confidence to open and investigate. And literally. The jack where the power cable plugs into, was not even soldering into place on the board! LOL. And this is a band new unit *shakes head* .... I just soldered the jack to it's board properly, and now the unit works BRAND NEW, like it was supposed to, when I bought it. Thanks for the teardown video!
Lots of useful information in here. I see you. Thank you for putting this together and going through the assemblies, individual components, their specifications, and signal flow. And the creative intro & outro. Many cheers.
The weight is necessary for djs, (this turntable is aimed at beginner djs)... you don't want the deck wobbling and sliding while you're manipulating the vinyl.
I recently got myself a str8-60 that does not power up.After watching this video I feel confident to tear the sucker up and fix it. Thanks for the teardown video!
I think my motors have weakened so when i touch the platter it nearly stops. Also the pitch jumps up and down a lot around 0, more than normal. Are these doable fixes? I'm not terrible at that stuff but not great
got one problem with my deck is that the power plug is so screwed that it wont get power to even turn on ,so i think iam going to do this and see if i can replave it my self
Ooooh you should not sell, why not get a mixer and learn to become the ultimate geek DJ!! Play some old school house music on them, bonus if it's really deep and soulful!
@@TheEPROM9 not to sound horrible but you don't seem to know what your on about no offense, I'm a fully qualified sound engineer and you could identify what the strobe light was ( the one you called neon) you then said it is an l.e.d. which is correct well 2 to be precise. The pop up light is a target light it is used for looking through the record and the thing you called a disk is actually called the platter, the speed adjuster is called a pitch faded it speeds up and slows down the revolutions of the platter when it is in it's central position it is classed as quartz and over time this can fluctuate but can be rectified by adjusting the quartz. The turntable is really easy to get in to you screwdrivers must be made of chocolate lol first of all remove all four feet by turning them counterclockwise and the remove all screws on the outer edge then the plastic case splits in two. To be honest that turntable isn't worth much so it wouldn't be worth working on in my opinion they sell for around £90/100 for the pair.
@@systemdamagepodcast6874 I do computer security as a profesion ;-) Electronics is one of my main hobbies. Also thanks for the info, I never know the proper terms for what things are called. My bros set uses a Neon & its not very good as it does not flicer at the right frequency. Did not knw they used 2 LED's in them. I took my crappy set of screwdrivers to uni & expanded my tool set from there. The person who did buy it on eBay ended up being a non payer, so that was a massive wast of time. Audio & analog stuff still eludes me to this day. I am more of a digital guy. Hence I colect & restor vintage computers. & while in lock down have been building night vision scopes.

Nice, glad it helped, not much in them from what I remember.

Thanks, most of the music nuts hated this one.

I worked that one out later. Fun fact out landline handsets use to have lead weights in.

No probs, the audio guys hate it ;-)
Thanks for the breakdown video. Like your accent, is it east or west London?
Southeast of the UK, KENT

Not sure, don't do much audio stuff.

Charly-Anthony Strouza you do know that stanton's use removable power cords right?
Go for it.
Probaly the plug that is buggered.
My platter isn't balanced it slightly scrapes, is there any way to fix this?
Read comment below.
Thanks for the info.
makes me glad i have this table :3
that plate is for autogrounding too
Intresting, so long since I took it apart now. I do know a little more about audio stuff now.
one up for the intro!!!
Thanks =-)
Stanyon? wtf?
Never heard anyone say it, so I know no other way.
Are you for real? Stanyon? Where did you read Stanyon? It's called Stanton!
Wecome to how my aspie brain does grammer, or more corectly, failes to.

They ended up in a skip. I just did not need them or have room for them. Ended up with a non payer on eBay
Could have made the bed ;-)
Na to much effort.
Sounds a bit like dame Edna everage, and doesn't know anything about turntables. However was mildly amusing for a while, but then boring.
Of course I know nothing about turn tables, only used them a few times in my life.
You have no idea what you're on about.
When it comes to audio, you are correct.
@@TheEPROM9Not being funny but why try to do a video on something you have no knowledge about?
@@systemdamagepodcast6874 I do, look at my vintage computer & electronics videos.
