Turntable Repair
Posted on 10/9/17 at 2:18 pm
Posted on 10/9/17 at 2:18 pm
I have an old vintage turntable I would like to get repaired. I have obtained a replacement motor for it and was going to attempt the change myself, but have gotten cold feet. Can anyone recommend someone local to BR?
My unit is a Sansui SR-929 I purchased in 1976.
SR-929
Any help is appreciated.

Got mine repaired a few years back at AV Electronics.

I can probably fix it.

Bro, if you are willing to do that, this unit obviously means a lot to me. I have replacement motor and complete replacement toner arm head with cartridge and stylus. I certainly would pay you for your time. Shoot me an email: Thank you Marco!!

Are you sure it's the motor that is the problem? What are the symptoms?

My house was hit by lighting 20 years ago and it quit working. I brought to a repair shop at that time and they told me it was the motor. Dude wanted to keep the unit for his work, but I paid him and kept it. Now I have two motors that at least need to be bench tested I guess.
I guess it could be a power supply or something else.

Yikes, that sucks. Does it even turn on? Platter won't spin?
May need more than just a new motor, but who knows if a power surge fried some of the insides.

The platter does not spin. I will plug it in this eve to see if I get anything at all. Thanks

This thread has inspired me to try again to get my dad's old Pioneer P-55X back up and working. It does power on, and the platter spins, and the speeds are fine, but it only works manually. Have to pick up the one arm and drop it manually to play a record, and be standing there when the record finishes to pick it back up.
Any ideas what could be the problem? Last time I tried, all I really did was hit the pots with deoxit. It doesn't even sound like anything is "triggering" the mechanism when I move the tone are past its rest. Even took it to a repair guy and it had him baffled, but it was an old redneck that probably huffs glue all day.

Yep, and I misspoke. Mine is just the PL-55, not the 55X.
Really wish I could get it up and running. I have an early 80's Technics that is okay, but not in the same league as the Pioneer.

This is probably an easy fix, and Marco, correct me if I'm wrong. Most tonearm shafts back then used a sort of anti-"lube" that slows the tonearm down so it doesn't drop hard onto the record. Over time, it can grow thin or just go away completely, which is why you would need to manually drop the tonearm yourself. I had a Marantz 6100 with the same problem. I never fixed it but did some research at the time and found the solution, which is to apply a very small amount of silicone oil ( ), commonly used in RC cars, on the tonearm shaft.

This may be a little more complicated to fix. I suggest you taking a look at the service manual ( Page 10) and this thread on audiokarma's site: LINK.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, after I posted that I did some more research. The lube thing was my guess initially, and I just never got around to buying any. This thread was actually very informative.

Gonna take the bottom off tonight and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into.

OK, it powers up, all indicator lights work except the Quartz Servo. It does not spin. This unit, when working correct, remains spinning regardless of tone arm position. Thanks again for your input.

You have a multimeter? I'd check and make sure power is getting to the motor first.

Some years back I took my Technics SP10 there to fix the power switch. She dropped it!
Like a fool I brought an SL1210 there about 5 months ago. Arm issue, something binding. So far nothing. "Waiting on parts."
