Most idler drives have horizontal wheels. Only a select few have them vertical like Lenco. Mine is horizonal and they arent low end by any means.

No going back indeed. However, in my other systems i still use direct and belt drive. They still have their place. But idler has my heart forevermore.

You have detailed why you love idler drive. And i loved the description. Most people say things like i dont know why but idler drives sound more musical. Well, you nailed it. My idler drives are pretty close to being as quiet as my belt and direct drive tables, and the reason they're in my main...

Its called anti-skate. Yes the PL-6A doesnt have one. There is a possibility that the cartridge is lighter than the original and needs more weight inside the headshell or the counterweight will be too far back which will cause skipping. Also keep in mind that there are two red dots under the arm...

I just got a V-15 cartridge. Stylus is in good shape. Suspension seems to be good. Is there replacement styli available?

I love the handlift! Beautiful headshell!

That's a nice headshell.

I may get another.

Same. I had to have an original headshell.

Let me ask, are the headshell pins in the back all scratched up? If that's the case that may be your problem. You may have to replace the whole bayonet part that plugs into your arm. Keep us posted.

Got the headshell today. Looks awesome on this Sony!

Its good that you arent giving up. This table is well worth it.

Good luck! Great table! Here is mine!

Here is my serial number..

I think mine is just the normal PS-2251. Not the LA version. Mine came with the original arm. I have the original headshell on the way. The SH-150H. I also have an extra wood armboard that has the fitted hole and screw holes for an SME-3009 tonearm. Very nice table that holds speed and the motor...

Here is my PS-2251 with the PUA-113 arm. Still trying to figure out how to get that cueing lever to reach the arm. That rubber knob thing underneath must have worn off. Other than that she is fully functional. I have the extra armboard that's set for an SME-3009 tonearm. I may do that in the...

Trying to upload pictures in here but its saying the file is too large. Nice info in this thread btw!

Mine is fully functional. I can add pictures. Is it in the thread from an earlier post in here?

The hum isnt a problem i had with mine. It was more like a buzzing sound like the grounding wire wasnt doing its job. A hum sounds like maybe a bad capacitor on the board. I had pretty much had this table completely refurbed and even swapped the motor out for an MKII motor as i have the MKI...

Indeed. Seems like the sub weight for the PUA-113 is very elusive. Im on the search for one of those too.

I bought one. I still have to figure out that cueing lever issue. Otherwise everything else is working great!

I didnt get the original headshell with mine. It was missing that and the sub weight for the PUA-113.

Does anyone have an extra OEM Sony headshell they'd like to part with? Id be willing to purchase one from you.

I have 9 other turntables to fall back on just in case. Lol
