  Does anyone else find Joe's videos to also be good ASMR?

  Nice repair video. I was a tech at a Panasonic repair center in Nashville, which closed in 1990. I was the "turntable guy" for the most part, but also worked on the high end Technics amps and preamps. The Technics direct drive turntables were not difficult to repair, but the linear tracking models could be a big pain in the butt. I saw more of them in for repair than the standard direct drive turntables. I still own a SL-DL1 linear tracking and a 1980 model SL-1200MK2 direct drive.

  Nice repair video as always I been working on some turntables too, last one was my dads 1990 era Pioneer turntable with multiple issues it was a few years back but I remember I needed to adjust the mechanics for auto return home. Fit a new belt and a proper cleaning and relube all moving parts, did the cassette decks on the same system and it was not easy finding parts for the old Alps decks. I remember the pure luck when I found some NOS similar decks where I could replace the auto reverse tone head and the pinch rollers, I was a mess for my dad as a kid I destroyed everything he owned lol he came home from work to find his favorite radio in 1 million pieces. But these days he is a lot more proud of me as he has his own service technician lol, got my self through the electrics school between 2014 and 2017 and now I am looking for a work as an installation electrician. It was kind of fun when I came back to the same school i got expelled from in 1995, and I got the same teacher 19 years later LMAO for the look on the face of the teacher when I was back hahaha. But it was nice to be back and have the same teacher again, Mats was a really nice and intelligent teacher had much fun programming PLC&apos;s in the education of the scool.<br><br>Joe how did you get into this field?

  Excelente técnica de reparo, interessante essa base giratória da bancada, e aquele apoio pra virar o toca disco ao contrario &nbsp;Vou ver se tem essa bas e o apoioe pra vender ou até fabricar uma peo meu uso, isso facilita bastante. Esses itens desmonstram que o técnjco leva a serio a qualidade do serviço e deve ser valorizado

  I have a SL1950, bought it new in 1978. &nbsp;Your right about it being easy to work on. &nbsp;I recently got it out of my dads house, been sitting since the early 80&apos;s. &nbsp;Cue lever was stuck, freed that up and injected new silicone damping fluid. &nbsp;Replaced all caps with a kit from ebay. &nbsp;Cleaned the pots, installed a new Nagaoka cartridge. Special lube for the platter bearing, &nbsp;Set up the tone arm/head alighnment and she spins and sounds pretty good. &nbsp;Not high end in any sense, but better than the craptastik turntables that cost $500 today.

  Nice repair! I have the same turntable and the vinyl size adjustment is busted. I was able to clean it up and fix the arm but couldn’t seem to figure that pesky dial out lol

  Congratulations on the video and the techniques shown in it. I have an SL 1900 and I need to have it serviced, it works very well, but since I purchased it, and it&apos;s been a while, this has never been done. I noticed that there isn&apos;t much information on the internet about this model, especially here in Brazil, it&apos;s a shame because it&apos;s a great device. <br>Thank you very much for the information, it was very useful!

  Have a SL-1311 that also had the left channel out. Could have used an RCA cable but waited for a OEM to show up on ebay. One finally did (for a SL-1301 which is the same as a 1311, just silver than dark gray) in Japan. Had it here in two days. Plays fine now. Also picked up a SL-1900 Sat. Did some of the maintenance he did. Nice table. Oh. I&apos;m in Huntsville.
