When I restored BSR turntable, I noticed that motor was a bit noisy. I removed the motor from body and cleaned it. Then it became quiet and smooth. This is BSR turntable restoratsion tips. Hope it will help you. Teddy
Thankyou for sharing. Just repaired my 1957 sobel stereogram after motor kept stalling, slowing down and noisy. The motor was in a right mess when removed with a blue inky residue all over it, haven't got a clue what it was but guessing someone has sprayed it with something in the past. Little tip though, I placed taped blank end in cordless drill on slow speed to clean with buds and cloth as it was so heavily tarnished. Sat listening to my favourite tracks feeling proud, running and sounding best ever. TLC needed when your 62 years old.
Glad i saw this. I did exactly what you did but the part I wasn't sure about was oiling where the cap goes. I did do that but wasn't sure if i was supposed to and after watching your video it confirmed i did the right thing. glad i did. Working well. Thank you.
Nice job. I would just add that if you disassemble the motor be sure you don't put the armature back in upside down or the motor will rotate in the opposite direction. You can avoid that by marking the top of the motor's laminations.
Thanks teddy. Motor on mine was gummed up. Took it apart and cleaned and lubricated and away it goes. By the way, what is the plastic pin wheel type thing for? Should it be reallly loose? Mine is quite snug.
Yeah disassembling the motor mount can be labor intensive. I've used a mini-metal screwdriver before but lost the set when I moved several years ago. But once I did it, I sprayed electrical contact cleaner on the motor coil and mounts and oiled the middle/lower motor shaft. You cannot believe how much oxidation has built up over 3 decades!
Hi, muttyprofessor. Thank you for the valuable diy repair information. OK, using contact cleaner to clean the coil and mount, that's a super good idea. I will use it for the next time. Thanks again.
Pena que este senhor vive no Japao ,pois se fosse aqui no Brasil iria ficar milionario ,por que aqui tem muita gente que gosta de aparelhos antigos e infelismente aqui tudo é mais caro e dificil.....Parabens pela inteligencia que ele possui !!!!!
Thank you for your compliment. I am here North America USA. I have never been to Brazil, however, some day I will visit there and enjoy food, culture, music, etc...
I have an issue with an older BSR record changer, when I play a record that has a heavy beat the tonearm bears towards the middle skipping spots. This changer does not have an anti-skating adjustment due to its age. I sort of remember that my grandfather's changer was a little tighter moving left to right, is there an adjustment I can do to tighten the side to side movement? I think that it would help with the vibration skipping that happens from the stylus.
+Craig Nevermind Some of the turntable has ground lead and it will solve the problem. But some of them don't. Here is a article about turntable hum. Maybe you already read it, but I will put link here. best-turntables.com/how-to-fix-turntable-hu/
+Craig Nevermind The closer the cartridge gets to the transformer, the louder the hum. Might be the cartridge. The red wire was actually snapped. It's brand new as well.
Hi, thank you for the comment. If I am not wrong, I remember I added oil to the both side of the caps, but during the video edit or recording the video, I did not show it. Next time for sure I will do the oil in both caps and put them in the recording. Thank you again.
I am currently following your guide on my bsr quanta 720. My motor cylinder had a blue coat on it that came off with 99.9 ipa -- what was this blue stuff I removed? Just curious. Cheers and thanks for the great vids.
Hi, my bsr on auto won’t drop LPs without the tonearm returning to off, works with 45s and 78s. Also the tonearm drops just where it wants: set vinyl size selector to, say, 10 and it goes farther in- for 45s, or 7, vice versa. So I use the player manually. What do you think is the problem? Thanks.
You need to completely clean the mechanism. I did many times and and it will remove the problem. Some of your turntable mechanism still has old dried out grease that is preventing the tonearm move correctly.
Thanks for the reply. I finally got it to play accordingly by cleaning off the gunks. Another problem is now puzzling me: at the end of each play the arm is supposed to come back to rest, but the platter hesitates then picks up speed before settling down the arm and stops. It wasn’t there before. What did I do wrong? Greased only major points and this happens. I’m lost.
@@paidda It is cum gear getting hard to rotate by some reason. When the end of the record, the cum will engage to pull up the tonearm and bring it back to the rest position. These movement is relay on the cum. Starting from cum gear you follow the link, I mean touching parts back to the motor, and find out which parts causing the problem. If the motor is OK and strong, then some of the parts need to be cleaned in order for the smooth mechanical movement.
