I have had mine for years! Bought it off a guy who completely restored it and it sounds really really nice! Definitely recommend replacing the needle and eventually you might want to replace the power button, otherwise that’s all! BTW, since I could never figure this out, to adjust the weight of the tone arm, here’s what you do: 1. Set the bar on the arm to the back of the tone arm (opposite side of the needle) 2. Adjust the weight on the back of the arm until the tonearm is balanced (meaning it’s not leaning forward or backward, just be sure to set the support down so you aren’t tricked haha) 3. Set the bar attached to the tone arm to whatever weight you need for your stylus, by pulling it towards to the needle until you feel it click. If you don’t have a scale, here’s how the notches are set up on the arm: 1st notch is 0.75 g, 2nd notch is 0.5 g, and the rest are in increments of 0.5 grams. Hopefully that is helpful to you guys!
To make it und end automatically you have to fix the light bulp underneath, it’s responsible for closing the the power circuit, bulps are 6V 0,05A, best wishes from Germany!
Just acquired one of these. I’m puzzled why the cartridge carrier doesn’t sit flush with the head capsule. I thought perhaps it was broken somehow but see it looks like that on all I’ve seen.
There is a weight adjust circle at the end of the tone arm ,if your record are new then the weight of arm is in 0.5mg to1.5mg.if records are old not perfectly play then increase the weight 2mg to 5mg according to your sound.
