  Just wanted to drop in to say thank you.  Between this video and your SL-1900 maintenance video, I've managed to get my SL-1950 in good working order. Cleaned, regreased, oiled, and loving it. I even have the changer rod mechanism, but I'm using the single play spindle.  So thank you for making these videos!

  You videos are great. I got a 1950 with stacker,, that would hardly move and now it works great. I have 8 turntables so I know my way around, but with your videos I know everything <br>before I take it apart. Only a 2 hour job includeding trouble shooting. Keep up the great videos.

  Instead of clipping the plastic piece I would have tried to sand in down some to fit. Maybe with a dremel. I really enjoy your videos.I feel very confident now about working on my own turntables

  You&apos;re probably right, that no unit exists, now or in the past, that has an arm that lifts up, with each succsesive record, being played in a stack. You should have had the arm, released from the rest, when you manually rotated the platter, although I&apos;m sure, no harm was done.

  Very nice job! You do make it look easy! But I know they can be a real pain in the A...

  great vid :)<br>Also the only changer i would ever buy would be a Thorens TD-224 but those are rare and not very cheap

  The &quot;repeat mode&quot; was for dialing in how many records you were stacking, so it would know how many times to cycle.

  Thanks so much for your work here. &nbsp;I&apos;ve got both an SL-1900 and an SL-1950; they were my sister&apos;s and my first good turntables, bought back in the 70s. &nbsp;They haven&apos;t worked for years. &nbsp;Because of your videos I&apos;ve been able to fix the cueing, arm lift and sticky anti-skate on both of them and they are back making music. &nbsp;Unfortunately the auto return on the SL-1950 isn&apos;t functioning and I can&apos;t figure out why, and I can&apos;t find much info on how to repair it. &nbsp;Do you have any guidance on where to look to diagnose?<br><br>Thanks in advance for any help.
