I took my Sansui 661 receiver to be refurbished a few months ago.. now I turned my attention to my Pioneer pl12D turntable, and came across these videos of yours. I don’t know how you knew I desperately needed help, but I really need to thank you! I will definitely check out your other videos.

Thank you so much for showing how to damp the player! Mine had nothing at left. Now it’s fine again 😃

Glad the video helped and thanks for watching!

Hi mate. I also have the pioneer 12d. Im having some issues with the needle dropping too quick onto the vinyl and im worried that long term itll damage them. Think you could help out? Ive only just bought it and its in mint condition

This video should cover damping.

There's a built-in overhand gage built into the top plate of that turntable as I recall.

Dang autocorrect, meant overhang

[@millervintagehifi3034]

You are correct 😀

Will 3-in-one oil work in the spindle?

[@millervintagehifi3034]

It will work, but I don’t know that it’s ideal.

Hi, what is the name of the phone app you used to test the speed? Thx!

[@millervintagehifi3034]

It’s called RPM
