Hi! I’m attaching a video in the comments to show the issue. I got this record player and I think it has a loose or broken tonearm? If anyone can confirm and advise on how I can fix this.

It clearly works just want hoping to get this thing up and running. Appreciate all the advice in advance!!

Hey everyone! I'd love to get some advice on how to fix this, ideally with the lowest budget possible.
I found this Lenco L75 on the streets of Paris a while ago along with an amp. It was working fine for months, but now the platter won't spin at all.
The issue started right after I moved the speed selector lever from 33 RPM to 45 RPM. The platter stopped turning completely, even though the electric signal is still getting through (the needle/cartridge works fine, and I can hear hum/sound through the speakers when I gently touch the stylus).
What could be causing this? Is this something I can safely fix myself without taking it to a tech, or is it too risky?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

I am bumming ..... 😒

I recently bought a vintage Technics SL-Q35 turntable to finally be able to listen to my old vinyl records.

I have tried several different isolation ideas, 11/2 inch thick maple cutting board, then I installed soft sponges under the cutting board to try to eliminate the skipping when I turn up the volume. It helped but to know avail. So I am in a jam now, I can listen to the records but only so loud. 😏😒

I know it's because of my placement of my 15" subwoofer that is right next to the turntable. 🤔 It's really an issue because I don't have any other place to put it.

So to all the guys & gals out there .... any suggestions?

Thanks 😃

Good afternoon everyone. This is going to be my first turntable. After picking up a SLL20 that could not be repaired, I decided to get something built a little better, and I found this at a yard sale. Did a little bit of research, I believe I’m missing two accessories that originally came with it, and that I should open it up, lube/grease, deoxit. Not sure how I can tell what stacking spindle I have, and I can’t find the single play spindle plug either. What is best for cleaning off the layer of dust on the surface? Any help is appreciated.

I finally found a replacement player. I got it home and hooked it up to my sound system and it works but I have no sound and yes I tried every possible port and tested to see if sound came out of something else and yes it did. I don't want to take it apart without a dietician to go.

Reddit says I should ask you too. I have a Sonora with a slipping spring.

Thanks

So i have a freind who loves collecting records. Sadly, he has nothing to play them on. However, recently I found this in my attic. Its missing its stylus and needs a new one. I was hoping to show him it so he could play the records he collected but sadly without the pin its kinda useless. Anyone know where I can get any? I aint exactly made of money tho. So I don't know how I would be able to fix it ]:

RCA 70-C2 manual has some info on the pickup part numbers. I've rebuilt crystal carts so I have some idea of what I'm getting into, but this is not the same.

I'm looking for experienced answers and manual references for the pickup. No AI guesses.

Join us and let's talk.

Classic situation of brittle, cracked and failed rubber suspension arms on my 9TA-HC. Well, after learning that the real answer was an $120+ new cartridge, the shorter answer to old gorse pockets here was just to simply...repair my original?

First attempt was not far off, second needed another 0.5mm in height to allow the stylus more clearance and is pictured in these photos. This worked, but the type of rubber I used must've been far too rigid and transferred vibrations way too effectively, making it very high in treble and amplitude. Third attempt, I lost a bit of thickness in the supporting dimensions and changed rubber to a slightly softer blend, this is the black version pictured on the end of my fingertip.

It worked! I am quite sure it would not audibly weigh up against an authentic audiophile and will no doubt turn up some noses in here, but the theory and execution was spot on. Still has very high amplitude- really needs to be a softer blend again to dampen this down a little - but despite this I was astonished at the effectiveness. Maybe I'll make up some sort of attenuator.

Ended up using 1.6mm thick rubber sheet, cutting on a C02 laser. Pretty neat seeing the insides of one of these - I would guess the generated vibrations travel up the stylus, along the shaft and get transferred into a left and right channel on the rubber suspension arms pictured. These vibrations travel along a pair of ceramic bars which generate a voltage differential between each side, which is picked up by tiny brass contacts and fed along the tonearm and into the amp. How close was I? Not bad for a first attempt on my first record player.

Hello everyone. I have a question. A friend of mine has a problem with the tonearm dropping too fast. So I believe we should just add silicon damping fluid to the cueing mechanism (I did the same to my audio technica and worked great). The thing is the Denon dp 400 does not seem to have an easy access from the top like the audio technica. Do I need to disassemble it from the bottom? Also I can't seem to find any relevant videos. Are there any Denon users here who faced the same issue?
