On an impulse buy I picked up a Trio KP-7700 from a Japanese seller. This is the Trio version on the Kenwood KP-750. When the package arrived, and I unwrapped it, it was very well protected. Once I got all the bubble wrap off, I notices the counter weight had broken off the arm. I looked at the service manual, and it appears there is a spring steel wire that connects the counter weight shaft to the arm. With some effort, this looks like it's fixable. Has anyone here replaced that wire? Unfortunately when the counter weight broke off, it dinged up the plinth while it bounced around in shipping.
I pulled out my variac, and set it to 100 volts. When I plugged in the turntable, and pushed the power switch, it's dead. No lights, nothing. The auction clearly shows the table with the lights on, and the seller sold it as perfect working condition. Any ideas? I have not pulled the bottom to check the fuses yet, but depending on the sellers response, I might do that tonight.
What would you do if this was yours? The seller offered both partial or full refund. They have excellent feedback, so I hope to resolve this quickly. Needless to say, I was very disappointed.
