Thank you so much for this, I have this exact turn table and after owning it a very short time it slowed and stopped. Followed your video and tested the RPM. Its alive and back. 🙂
You really should buy another nut driver set as this is the second video of yours that I have watched where you left the nut driver set in the garage. You must have a birthday or something coming up and darn it you deserve another set. :)
in the 90´s i bought a good pioneer integrated amplifier and the selectors already gave me problems twicw ,the selctor on this still works perfect, no noises just perfect
my es-2000 is runing perfect since 1974, including the receiver ,i tried some more recent speakers and the sound seemed to improve a lot ,so the speakers work but have some technics from 79 conected to it
Thank you for this...followed your tutorial and got my player smooth as butter! It actually sounds pretty good as far as "budget TT's" goes...How do you get the cover hinges to release?
@@rjhouy i remenber thinking "how the hell i tune this and only had instruction in japanese but with the original cartridge and stylus read perfect and the arm is diferent from others with anti skating its loose not fixed as others , only when the stylus started to get old it not read well the last tracks , i put the head of a sl-1200mkII on it and sounded even better , but had to be in a plane table , sorry for my bad english , i still use the pn-30 and pc-30 that came with it , some 20 years ago i went to an old hi-fi store and bought several new stylus from pioneer they had 3 diferent stylus but all fited on the pc-30 cartridge ,the pioneer stylus from 74 catalog , they are more or less the same , one is red other grey and orange , only a record or two didn't play well all tracks maybe the ones with more time , mine i bought it in japan in 74 while living in Africa to run from the war , several friends of mine died , i just went to africa but to work
@@RUfromthe40s yes, my next step is to replace headshell and cartridge with AT set to test...tried to loosen wand but might strip screws (very small)...I'm from South Africa ...where were you in Africa? Angola, Mozambique?

Greetings! Thank you for great tutorial. My TT is running a little too slow. I've done the same procedure as you but still slow. Do you have any advice how to get the speed up?
Speed on these tables is really dependent on the correct belt. You can apply a little paint like nail polish to the motor spindle to increase its diameter. That will increase the speed of the platter.
@@TheBabian96 No. Apply light coats to the motor pulley while it's spinning. Let it dry, then check your speed. If it's still slow, apply another coat and check again. I did a video on this, just can't remember which one...
@@TurntableGuy Perfect! Does this have the same effect as getting a thicker belt? I bought my TT in a thrift shop so the belt might not be the original one.
Hi there. Great video! I have a question: I have the oppourtunity to buy one of these for $100. It is working fine I am told, no issues. I know it is hard to answer without seeing or hearing the unit, but would you think this is a fair price? Thanks.
AC sync tables of this era always look great and are heavy. Sadly they are junk. Chasing belts that achieve the correct speed, whether circumference, width or thickness, is a wild goose chase. I refuse to service them any longer. I have retrofitted dc motors in a couple instances, but is not worth the hassel. I truely loath them. 99% alcohol or brake clean on a microfibre rag makes very quick work of the belt goop.

Thanks for the video. Iv just serviced and repairs one here in South Africa.

it wasn´t that cheap when new
@@RUfromthe40s well...date on the motor said 1974...that's four years before I was born🤣...any idea how to set the azimuth on the tonearm/wand?

How come this table doesn't have tracking knob? Looks great but, not sur eif it's a good one.

@@TurntableGuy Thank a lot. Are the nail polish going to affect the sound or performance of the turntable?
@@TheBabian96 No. Apply light coats to the motor pulley while it's spinning. Let it dry, then check your speed. If it's still slow, apply another coat and check again. I did a video on this, just can't remember which one...

Considering the prices these days, I'd say that's a pretty fair price if it's decent
@@TurntableGuy Awesome, thanks for the response. It looks like it just needs a little cleaning, I am told it works very well. Thanks again!
I think it would be easier to clean the belt debris off the motor pulley, before you remount the motor.
Where in Canada are you located?
Southwestern Ontario (London).

They are a pain-in-the-butt to achieve good speed on. But, I enjoy working on a true, beefy motor!
