    Replacement bulb for PL-630

    Hey Team! Anyone Know the proper bulb replacement for the small incandescent lamp underneath the tonearm that activates the photo-transistor in the Pioneer PL-630? Pretty specific question i know, but i have narrowed down the problem to a burnt out bulb! Thanks all -kellan

    pioneer PL-630 not spinning!

    Jeff! Thanks so much this was extremely helpful. Through that thread I was able to diagnose the problem of the lamp being burnt out that triggers the optical eye. So yes i had the exact opposite problem you did where i could get no movement out of my platter because i had no light triggering...

    Hey Team, Bit stumped by this one because i havnt seen any other posts identifying this problem. The PL-630 turntable direct drive platter does not spin at all when the tone arm is engaged. The tone arm should switch on the platter but seems like either that switch has failed or my direct drive...

    Pioneer ct-f1250 stop function

    Ok, did a little more work and fixed the stop button not functioning problem. It was a split wire. I measured the torque on the take up real and it was about 30 grams over what it should be on playback and FF. The service manual does not suggests any fixes for this other than getting a new...

    adding veneer to pioneer hpm 100

    I always liked pioneer for its looks and good sound. I thought that the hpm's sounded great but always defaulted to the cs series because they had looks and alright sound ( but not as great as hpm's). I eventually folded in and got some hpm's and i love them to death and since i just recently...

So needless to say i will be watching the ebay for the replacement parts. What I was curious about is if i...

    another stacked HPM 100 thread

    I have enjoyed a pair of hpm 100's stacked with a pair of cs 99a's. they complement each other very well. the hpm supplies the lows and the highs while the 99a's handle everything in the mids.
