    I installed a new cartridge. The tone arm goes down but doesn't start on some records and retracts to starting position. Not always. But when it does start properly, it eventually starts to skip on every record. It may be the third or fourth track but will do so on every record. Help!!

    I really like this machine. The one thing I don't like is I have to be very careful not to scrape the top of the record against the sharp bottom of the lid when putting the record on and off the spindle. Other than that it's a fantastic player and sounds better than some very much more expensive modern decks.

    I think that volume control is marked as an attenuator.....anything less than full volume, is shown as a negative on the knob. The excessive woofer motion is called "rumble" when seen with phono use. I've seen woofers do things I wouldn't think possible without a subsonic filter!

    I am guessing that the auto return does not engage early enough and it requires the tonearm/stylus to go too far into the center of the record. I have Realistic Lab-420, a full auto turntable. It has the similar opening at the base of the tonearm with a screw at the bottom with which you can adjust the cue-in and cue-out of the tone arm. However there are two screws hidden underneath the hole. One you see when the tonearm is at the arm rest which is for the cue-in. Another you see when the tone arm is close to the center of the platter which controls when/where the cue-out engages. Turning the screw clockwise or counter-clockwise changes where the needle drops or returns. It may have the same mechanism.

    I have a Technics SL-QL15 and it is still working perfectly. Don't think it has ever been given any kind of service that I am aware of. In the 15 years or so I had it, I never done anything other than replace the stylus and cleaning the dust off of it. It was actually just given to me by an old friend that no longer wanted it. I asked how much he wanted for it and he just told me to go ahead and take it. I have always wondered if it is worth having a good tech go through it and get it re-lubed, etc, but I was told by others when I asked this same question is that if it is still working perfectly, don't bother messing with it.

    I have a Lafayette LR 5555A receiver and love it. Was not aware the 3030 had three bands of tone control, that would make it a very good entry level receiver. This whole line with the lr15 1515 at the bottom and the LR 9090 at the top are really great receivers.

    Just looking at the motor of this t table, it appears to be an AC Four-Pole Synchronous motor. Synchronous motors maintain accurate speed from the AC's line frequency which is 60Hz in the US. I suppose subtle variations in the line frequency will alter the speed. More of an issue with lighter platters than the flywheel effects of platters with more mass. Some turntable motors have tapered spindles to allow speed adjustment by moving the belt up or down on them. You know, if you're going to be doing videos on this subject, dump the phone app, (real rookie stuff, plus you're using it incorrectly) and get something more accurate with a quartz locked illuminator that doesn't rely on the power line frequency like an AT AT6181DL Stroboscope Disc and Quartz Strobe, or my personal fave, The KAB SpeedStrobe where the strobe features the actual speed numbers instead of "Instead of hypnotic bars". There are pricier devices but these are very accurate. On another subject, the emphasis on making sure the speed is exact, on a lot of cheaper turntables, vintage stuff, DC motors and almost all direct drive models that were not made in the last few years, you're more likely only getting speed accuracy centered around your target speed; 33.33, 45 RPM. There is a saying about DC motors; "They go right by going wrong". A turntable that might be off a smidge too fast or too slow can sound fine if there is little or close to no variation in speed compared to something that you think measures well with a phone plopped on the platter but varies enough to be audible. Many people don't listen very well, not noticing the speed variations. I've said this on other websites: play some piano music that has long sustained notes, notes where the key is held down for a long period and listen if you hear any variation, wavering of the note. You would be surprised at how many turntables fail at this simple test. Also damage to these forty, fifty year old turntables bearing or motor induced noise. A decent stethoscope placed at various points on a table's base is always a good way of checking. It's amazing how much of this noise goes unnoticed.

    I got two of these in 2015. They’ve worked well and held up. No complaints. I’m not over analytical, I just enjoy my music. Sounds great to me. I am going to exp with an external DAC just out of curiosity. I want to see if I can detect a difference in sound quality. Taking a hearing test in September to see what frequencies I can still hear.

    I have a basement system that consists of a pair of Boston Acoustics A100s, an early '80s Technics integrated rated at 90 watts x 2 at 8 ohms and a Dual TT. The speakers were $60 off craigslist, the amp I found in a Goodwill for $20 with its matching tuner, and the Dual was FREE. So yes, you can put together quite a nice system for under $100 but you have to be patient and on the look out. It should also be said that all of this was put together before ebay was inundated with "flipper-itis", where everybody and his brother is buying up stuff, inflating prices and flipping this vintage gear on ebay, etc.

    That is Auto return. (as opposed to just Auto stop). Unfortunately, I've had to fix several Technics turntables that have auto return. My favorite system is actually just auto stop where it stops and lifts the tone arm off of the record. You should see how many fewer gears there are underneath the turntable when it is just auto stop. About 1/10 of the things that can get messed up. And what do you really accomplish with auto return of return instead of just auto stop? You already have to walk over there to change the record. Takes about one second to move the arm over. You lose all of those saved seconds the first time you have to fix the auto return. 🙂 You won't have to replace your test record as often if you don't stick your fingers all over it 🙂

    Did you measure and readjust the tracking force with the screw out? Mine showed quite a bit different when I didn't put the screw in. I disagree that playing a scratchy race. Is a good test. it might actually be a good test of a cartridge that isn't very vibrant because then it might mask some of the scratches. In that case, you might be better off with a low end, highly used stylus.
