  One of the best repair videos I've seen. Made it very easy to fix the frozen cueing mechanism on my SL-1900. Thank you!

  Thank you for your video! I just bought my SL-1900 for $160. I was a little bit reluctant to get it when it is turned on. It spins, the light was on but the cueing arm is not moving up and down but I gamble and still took it. Thanks a lot I took the risk even though I don't have experience with the turntable. Then I came across your video and followed along your procedures. After doing the cleaning. It worked like a brand new one again. I just bought a new headshell with a stylus and I used a Dupont Teflon Penetrant and Dupont Silicone Lubricant to lubricate the parts after cleaning. For the age of this turntable I would say that it has been well taken care of because the finish looks really clean and looks brand new. I'm so happy with my experience and result.❤❤

  Just Picked one of these up For $100. The Arm wont go down & when you go to 45 it stops. Its fun to get them working again, someone told me the one screw hard shell is worth $50. It's working fine now that I removed all the old grease with alcohol & Q-tips, Regressed with Finish line Bike Grease  a few drops of Tri Flow for the Main Bearing. I used Deoxit on the Potentiometers & the 45 started working. Love this Table with a AT 3600L that I got for $18. This arm is similar to my SL-2000 as well.

  Ronsonol works nicely as a degreaser too, with no stink.
