I have a fully functional Sony ps-x75. Have you ever upgraded the cables that connect the table to the rest of the audio system? Do you think that there would be any audio benefit to doing that if it were possible?
Hi Anthony, Sony used very good tonearm wire and RCA cables on the PS-X75, so you would need to choose very carefully to be sure you are getting an upgrade - something like Cardas Clear for the tonearm wire and cable.
Very beautiful! It's piece of art. I'm looking for an X 50 right now because i like the Tonarm but you can't make comparison with X50 and X75. In case Sony has Bild great tables
Looks great. I have the same table but am having trouble with the tonearm swinging all over the record before settling close to the beginning of the first track. Any suggestions on calibrating the tonearm?
I have this turntable, purchased in 1975/76….the toner arm will not lower-otherwise it works fine. I would like to know if there is a repair available?
Yes, the cam for the lifter gets slow or stuck from old grease. It is a fairly involved repair which required disassembling most of the tonearm mechanism below the deck. See here for some info: audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/sony-ps-x75-coil-cam-removal.810111/ I do take care of this as part of my restoration and am happy to offer the service. A stuck lifter cam can also give the appearance that the turntable is dead - no buttons work at all, which many mistake for a defective microprocessor. A dead microprocessor is extremely rare. Thanks for your comment.
@@Round2Audio thanks so much for confirming. I was able to snatch up some compatible hinges on ebay and have a jnb aftermarket dust cover on the way. Just need to find the extra counter weight and a suitable plug for the drop point adjustment hole and I'll be set
@@BrandonHall1 It's the small one, about 13grams and readily available for less than $10. There larger ones won't fit, not enough clearance to the dust cover.
I have an issue with my tonearm swinging back and forth before it stops to play. Do you do restorations for others or have recommendations for someone who could do it?
Thanks for your comment. I do the work myself and have a thorough process that restores full function to about 80% of the units with a few requiring additional repairs.
The turntable was essentially rebuilt from the ground up, the most critical area being the tonearm and it's associated electromagnetics under the deck. This was completely removed and disassembled, cleaned, lubed and adjusted for flawless performance. Check the video for more restoration details.
