Hi Analog Fans,


I am trying to remove the platter on the Mentioned TT, will not come up easily? Am I missing something in the procedure?

Thanks,

That should pull off. It's stuck because its been on there for eons. Keep working at it. Maybe a drop of oil or spritz of lube on the spindle to help it along. Then or course, wipe it up thoroughly.

Thank you Sire, I am you humble servant..:yes::D

I thought so but, I always check as a Good Tech should before bringing out the Big Hammer!

This looks like a cool TT!:thmbsp:

Thanks,

Wait, John. Didn't realize the 45 adapter was part of it. I retract what I said. Not totally sure now. Sorry! :sigh:

I think you have to take off the bottom and there is a clip holding it on. Hope I didn't mess things up for you.

Well Congratulations, Howard, 5000 posts that is a lot of very helpful information for the AKers. Probably mostly turntable info. Kick back relax and continue the great posting.

Thanks, buddy! I knew it was coming up, but then forgot about it today. Yes, probably 95% of that was in this forum.

Hi Guys,

I found the clip,BEFORE bringing out the Hammer, it was under the 45 adapter, installed a belt I had here and it works nice, it will need a new stylus I would think but, it does play and it sounds cool.

Thanks for the help.

Glad to see it worked out, John. It's the same size and design as my Technics SL-Q6, except that yours is belt drive. Certainly is nice and compact. My only beef with the Technics/Panasonic linears is the tonearm-in-the-dustcover thing. I like to be able to lift the dust cover and see what's happening. But like yours, mine does sound good. :thmbsp:

I have a question: How is the stylus tracking force applied?

The needle that came with this is working OK, has some life left in it.
Technics P-23.

I don't know the mechanical specifics of how it is applied, but it is set at 1.25g for p-mount carts.

Thanks, I will set it up when I figure out how to adjust the force..:scratch2:

No, John, sorry, I was not clear. You can't adjust the force. It is permanently set at the factory at 1.25g. All p-mounts track at that force so there is no need for adjustment.

Wow, thanks for that, I ordered a new stylus because the old one played but was cracked from being bent back and repositioned. It would have fell off and damaged the lp it was playing. Cool so I just need to plug it in, great.
Thanks again,

Cool,

I had a Technics SL-3 which was identical to this table. With an Ortofon X1-MCP, it really sounded good! Everything is factory set so there is nothing to adjust. Avoid the GRADO because it will hummmmmmmmmmmm on that table.

Hi Joey,

I am just replacing the stylus on the Technics cartridge. Sounded good before should sound better now.
