Thanks. I had the same problem where the tone arm was stuck. There was some awful noise lkee some kind of music heard. That was the only (big) minus in your video.
Great video. I had a similar issue with a PL100, which utilises the same tone arm. However, I carried out my repair in situ using a mini precision drill. After drilling holes at each end I cut a screw at its head. This enabled me to screw the broken section into the tone arm. It was a complete success.
I know it's been a while since this posted, great video I recently acquired the same TT with the same problem with the counter weight. I'm not as lucky as you and don't have the broken part to reattach. I'm wondering if I could 3d print one? What are the specs of the part? Thank you.
Sorry I don't have the TT any more, it sold pretty quickly after I fixed it. It probably does matter too much, as long as it fits the weight on and has enough movement.
All the videos I've seen of these turntables have the numbers to the front. That's how you set the counterweight of the arm. If the numbers are at the back you can't see what weight you are setting it to.
@@RetroElectronicRepair that’s what they guy has put. Your weight with the numbers is at the back so when you look dead on to the turntable you can’t see what your tracking at ! You need to turn the tracking weight the other way round
Using a small dremel could you get away with this repair while keeping the arm in place? I am not much good with a soldering iron and was thinking that with a small drill i could avoid the disassembly? I go mine for free and it has a Stanton cartridge and stylus that i could sell if I screw up the repair.
Yes you could, but just be careful and don't use to much pressure when trying to drill the hole. Make sure you take the cartridge off before you start just in case it does flick off the rest and the needle goes flying across the deck.
