Firstly I'll preface my reply by saying I fully support the fact that you made an attempt at repairing your Sony turntable. It is pleasing to see younger people prepared to step outside of the current popular realm of just swapping out entire PCB assemblies rather than trying to diagnose the problem to an individual component or components. I applaud the fact you actually admitted that you took the wrong pathway to resolving the problem which as it turns out was a dirty contact on an inexpensive open construction carbon track trim pot. For an experienced tech this would have come as no surprise. Whilst it's a common fault that causes the speed fluctuation it's not the only part that can fail that can cause the same symptoms. It's good to see you using the service manuals. IMHO Sony service manuals are up there with the best. Their extensive voltage and waveform references are invaluable in trouble shooting Well I sincerely hope you've learnt something because that was the end of the accolades. Here comes some sage advice which you can either choose to consider or dismiss. I've noticed a disturbing trend on your electronic repair videos of just randomly replacing parts for what an informed and experienced technician would consider unnecessary. Examples are replacing capacitors without and evidence of why you are doing so except condemning them to e-waste for no other reason other than their apparent age. Sure capacitors, especially electrolytics have a life expectancy just has you will have. Not all electrolytic capacitors just suddenly fail at or about the same time. Yes, certain brands and types have developed bad reputations of failing early in their lifetime and well before their expected MTBF. Many work perfectly well past their expected MTBF. So where does one go to find out this information? The Badcaps forum is a good starting point but as with all internet sources not everything you read is 100% true. To sort the correctly functioning capacitors from the bad ones you need to invest in a half decent LCR meter. The DER DE5000 is a very good meter for the modest asking price and well worth checking out its features. I have several LCR meters but this is my goto on the workbench. Check eBay pricing to include the TL-21 and TL-22 accessories. Expect to pay around USD150 shipped. Don't pay the ridiculous $425 asking price on Amazon. I can't for the life of me understand the rationale behind changing out the power supply diodes. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The PSU appeared to be functioning correctly. 1. You commenced your trouble shooting correctly by confirming through observation the fault symptoms. But sadly it went astray from there onwards. Here's some additional tips you might find helpful - 2. Obtain a copy of the service manual and any available supplementary service notes. 3. Visual inspection. This is where you look for dead obvious clues as to what might be wrong. e.g. bulging capacitors, dry joints, burned components, blown fuses etc. 4. Check key voltages are within specification. 5. Check waveforms. 6. Attempt to isolate the fault to a particular section of the circuit. 7. Apply your knowledge and analytical skills. 8. Test the suspect component(s) to determine if they are faulty and warrant replacement. 9. Don't shotgun replace parts. It's completely unnecessary and wasteful. Besides you learn nothing in the process. 10. Document your findings for future reference. This assists you in developing your analytical skills. Finally, I wish to see you succeed. The constructive critique is offered with the aim of helping you become a better tech. The industry desperately needs young people able to diagnose and repair to the component level which sadly is becoming a lost skill. If you find yourself faced a with particular fault that's difficult to nut out feel free to reach out to me. I owe everything I know to people who took the time and effort to not just show me how to repair audio equipment but also the rationale behind the approaches taken to the fault diagnosis processes. Everyday you will learn a new skill and acquire new knowledge. I've been working in the industry for decades and I learn something new and useful every day. Food for thought.

This is my first real attempt at a repair myself and I've learned so much just by this vid in that it is a better approach to isolate the problem before any restoration. Learned this also by watching shango066 in his resurrection. I have a dd tt that has the same issue, but it has a runaway speed issue.....no adjusting speed control does anything, it spins like as fast as it can. Now this turntable has went through a lot as I archive vinyl digitally with it by wetplaying and I admit this could has caused the issue. My guess is one of the transistors on the main board or maybe even on the motor board, but without the service manual, I'm not really gonna do anything yet. So my question is......where does one get service manuals anymore without paying on Ebay? I know ah here has mentioned a place, but others have said this site is no longer taking new registrations. Any thoughts?

I was just about to address the comment made in the video that blanket capacitor replacement is a good idea etc and I see you have already done it, along with some other very good advice and suggestions. I'll start by saying I am an electronics engineer with over 45 years experience working on domestic and professional audio as well as broadcast equipment. There are some bad philosophies out there among the amateurs who want to have a go at repairing things and this "just replace ALL the capacitors" is probably the worst one. Not only is it completely unnecessary, it is wasteful of resources and time. It can also introduce new faults into a unit where none existed before. Just the other day I had a guy contact me about an amp which he gave to a friend because it had a fault and the friend said he could take a look. The first thing this guy did was completely recap it. Guess what? The original fault was still there after the recap, and there was now a new problem. One channel had no sound and was getting really hot and drawing a lot of current. The guy didn't know what to do so he disconnected that channel. In addition, all the caps he removed actually tested ok, and he had replaced them with inferior quality types! Anyway, thanks for your write-up. It's refreshing to see this from other experienced techs and hopefully people actually learn from what you have written!

I watched this video because I have a PS-X6 on my bench with a similar problem. Firstly, I must say, that I applaud this young fellow for having the patience and desire to go as far as component level trouble shooting. Most younger folks would have just tossed it and bought something new. These older Sonys are worth trying to save. Yes, they are over-engineered, but they are also over-built and way better quality compared to any normal priced entry level TT from today. If you have the scratch for a VPI or a SOTA or something else in that league, that's great - they're fantastic units. But most normal younger folks aren't going to be looking at that stuff. So, attempting to save a table like this is a noble venture. As far as some people beating this young guy up for replacing the caps...............WHOA, hold on a second! It's HIS turntable. He's not charging someone else for "wasted" parts and labor. Yes, he probably should have done some more research first, BUT, now that it's fixed - guess what? He don't have to worry about the caps going bad in the near future. So, what was the harm? Lighten up a bit. This is a likable kid - doing something worthwhile, and willing to spend the time to share his experiences. I think that's quite commendable. Carry on!

I bought mine new in 1977 paid 350.00 for it. The speed started fluctuating like yours plus I would touch the tonearm and would hear a buzz. A bad ground. Cost 150.00 to get it fixed. That was three years ago and has been going great ever since. Great video I could never have fixed it myself.

Long story short: I bought an old Technics belt drive that had speed issues and I was planning on using it for parts with the tonearm tube being mainly what I was after. I got it home to test it and noticed I could make it go crazy when I touched the adjustment knows. So I cleaned the pots inside and the table still works fine. I only paid $20 for it and instead of parts I have a great working turntable.

Glad i found your video. I have a Sony PS-X7 turntable. I have had it for over 30yrs. But i haven't been able to enjoy it much at all. If it hasn't been turned on for a while it will spin for 10 - 20 minutes then stop. I press the start button again and it spins for 1 - 2 seconds and stops. That is my problem that i have always had with this. Your video gave me an insight (at least) on how to approach trying to fix this. I’d rather have it be an easy fix… but if not - i’ll have to get it done by a pro. I have found schematics of the PS-X7, but i’m not too sure i will be able to understand them very well. If you have advice or info i would appreciate it. thank you.

Please don't let all the criticism get to you. I'm not an electronics expert but I don't see how changing caps on an old turntable like the venerable PS-X series ones could hurt. Good that you found the problem and the De-Oxit worked. I love the PS-X5. I had one that had the broken plastic cam problem, and did a fix for it with a nylon tube from the hardware store and a finish nail I bent. Worked great.

I am an electronics expert (an electronics engineer) with 45+ years experience on domestic and professional audio as well as broadcast equipment. Blanket changing capacitors is not a good idea and it's not the right way to diagnose a fault. Not only is it rarely necessary to change out all the caps, you can introduce new faults by doing so. There are established procedures for fault-finding and that starts with actually looking for the faulty components! As I posted above, just the other day I had a guy contact me about an amp which he gave to a friend because it had a fault and the friend said he could take a look.

Back in the day, I had one of those Sony PS-X5 turntables. It worked fine for about seven years, then it got a case of the "yips" like yours, but much worse. I liked everything about the turntable: nearly zero rumble, good arm for a Shure V-15 III, no apparent wow or flutter (until the "yips," that is). So I spent more on repairs than I paid for the TT in the first place. Every time the "yips" would return a few months after being repaired. I finally gave up on it. BTW, the speed control pot was replaced twice. Great TT - except for being over-engineered. Good luck with yours!

I'm afraid that reading the resistance before cleaning is no use. Actually, dirty and oxidated potentiomenters give wrong resistance; that's why the turntable doesn't work. The practical way is marking the positions of each trimmers, cleaning them up rotating fore and aft, and then restoring the positions.

I have an X4 that was doing this when I pulled it out of the attic about 5 years ago. I found a service manual online somewhere (can’t remember sorry). It contained a sort of speed calibration procedure. Following this fixed it, and it has stayed fixed. Over time the pots get dirty and the values they are set to vary from original settings. I think that these machines share a basic mechanism. I seem to remember it being fiddly because you had to adjust from the underside while it was running (I honestly can’t remember) but it did work.

Good job. Yes always a good idea to clean the pots before digging in. I have a PS-11 which would spin at about 1000 rpm for no apparent reason. Bad comparator transistors in the speed control were the culprit even though they tested fine in circuit. Unfortunately direct drive TTs can have similar speed issues and are generally hard to diagnose.

I had similar speed control problems with several of my vintage direct drive turntables including my Sony PS-X7....and what I learned long ago is go after the simple things first....in this case "Clean those adjustment pots" then adjust the speed per manufactures specs. I've had my PS-X7 now for 12 years and the speed has been dead on since cleaning those pots when I first picked her up!

When I would even rest my finger on the control, the glitchiness would get worse. So I went straight to the deoxit on those speed tuners and no issues for over 2 years now. I watched your whole video and never even thought you would end up having the same problem. I would've blindly trusted those push buttons myself.

I enjoyed this video. I have this exact same turntable that I bought brand new in 1978. It had this exact same problem almost since it was new - it drove me crazy. It was very intermittent at first and gradually got worse over time. I finally did a recap and also replaced 17 transistors (but not the speed controller IC) and it has been rock solid for over 2 years now - it has never run this well even when it was new. The other part that will fail on this table is the record size selector cam that attaches to the shaft of the record size selector dial. The plastic gets brittle and the part will fail causing inconsistent tone arm drop in points. Fortunately 3D printed replacements can be found. I think these are great turntables and definitely worth saving. Nice fix!

I suspect the leading question would be that if the fault was there since new why didn't you return it to the retailer and have it exchanged for another one? It's not like it was out of the warranty period, is it? I have to ask, what was the rationale behind replacing all those parts? Which transistor(s) out of the 17 of the 24 discrete transistors (quick count) you replaced were actually faulty? How about all the capacitors. The turntable was NEW (your words, not mine) and whilst it's possible an electrolytic capacitor was accidentally installed reverse polarity which will very rapidly contribute to its demise on power up the likelihood of all of them been faulty is extremely unlikely. Once again this illustrates the stupidity of the shotgun approach to fault diagnosis by rank amateurs who have NFI what they are doing.

I think they thought I was stupid, or just unhappy with my purchase and was trying to get my money back. It was a small retailer and the owner finally offered to let me trade it for a Thorens TD105. I still have the Thorens but I would have rather they found the problem and fixed it as I loved the build quality of the Sony.

Good job trouble shooting. I have a PS X7. It works in manual mode but seems to have a mind of it's own in auto. Most likely needs a deep clean and relube. The strobe is intermittent too. I read that replacing the C106 cap may fix it. My tonearm drops too fast. Can you do a video on injecting fluid to slow the drop? There are no videos on this for the PS X series. Like yours, the X7 is packed with electronics, metal & plastic parts and gears. And the repeat touch sensor does not work. Any idea how to fix ? Yes, the SM is very good. There's also great info in the Vinylengine forum. Mine is mated with a Nagaoka 110 and sounds nice. Glad you got your TT working.

You should also clean the 33 & 45rpm switches, I have a Pioneer tt that had a problem with these switches..

Clean the inside potentiometers? They might also need replacing

I’m having the same problem with my ps-x5. Any idea how much a repair shop would charge to fix it ? I have a kenwood backup but I really like this one. I have new vinyl on the way.

Good lesson for next time: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SOLDERING TEMP BEFORE SOLDERING. I just went with a pen style iron that has an oled display so I always know. I've destroyed my fair share of traces in the past by forgetting about the temp.

It drove you nuts because you were convinced, as always, that shotgunning capacitors solves all problems. It doesn’t, and is such an amateur hack approach. Simple troubleshooting, without rebuilding a unit to create a video, might be the best approach. Anyone can go crazy replacing every electrolytic in sight. I’d be embarrassed by this video, if I were you.

There's a core group of people out there who are spreading the myth that blanket replacing capacitors is a good thing and that it will cure any problems that a unit has. I am getting sick of hearing it. Not only that, I get people bringing me equipment to repair that has been got at by someone else (one of these mad recappers) who couldn't fix it and has invariably made it worse than it was. Just the other day I had a guy contact me about an amp which he gave to a friend because it had a fault and the friend said he could take a look. The first thing this guy did was completely recap it. Guess what? The original fault was still there after the recap, and there was now a new problem. One channel had no sound and was getting really hot and drawing a lot of current. The guy didn't know what to do so he disconnected that channel. In addition, all the caps he removed actually tested ok, and he had replaced them with inferior quality types!
