I got a pretty clean PL-530 for a song a couple years back, these videos give me the courage to really dig in and do some tightening up. Thanks for uploading, great camera work, editing, commentary.
Sorry to blow up your comments, but maybe you have an idea about the one known issue I have with my 530. When auto return kicks in, it makes an audible THUMP, and there is a similar noise issue when auto start engages. I also can’t seem to get the auto start point adjusted dead on, but I think a dirty pot is to blame for that.
Mechanical thump or a thump through the speakers? If it's through the speakers there's probably a snubber cap somewhere that's out of tolerance. I have a Marantz 6100 video where I replace such a cap due to the loud pop at shutoff.
@@dirkfunk4361 Did you ever get the auto start point figured out? If I understand you right I have the same problem. Mine swings out but drops just a few mm before the edge of the record so the needle doesn't make contact.
Thank you!! Just cleaned my tone arm elevator and it moves better. It returns perfectly but my problem is that the tone arm falls short about 1/2 in when i push start. Any ideas? Thank you so much either way!
I have just purchased a pl530, atuo tonearm doesn't reach the edge of the record and autoreturn doesn't go all the way home, can you give me any advice cheers...
It depends on what the SM says. I typically put 300,000 weight silicone oil on the elevator shaft to damp (slow) the movement. I don't recall what this one needs.
Como correjir si el brazo de la tornameza al principio del primera melodia se atora enlosde 33 lp solamente en ese punto lo demas si esta suave eneste moodelo PL 530 pioneer
