This is one of those nightmare turntables from the 80s that should never have been made. So many faults, and only one guarantee, that something else will break soon.

What a nightmare! When you opened it up, I couldn't believe the complexity. I have a Hitachi HT-20S (belt), A Technics SL-D2 and an SL-D3 (both direct drive). Very clean and simple designs. Working on these was a joy and the are now working perfectly.

I bought one, brand new, (wonderful sound!) at the beginning of the 80s, when they first came out, and used it for about 15 years. And it still sounded great. I wish I could get another one. But that is another life ago. Beautiful, pretty, sleek. Coulda, shoulda, woulda says if those clutches were that bad, and needed replacing as often as you say, getting a small stock pile of said clutches would have been a great idea. Oh well, can't predict the future can we. Wonderful video. You shouldn't get so frustrated with a machine, it's just a machine. Old machines are going to have problems, how many problems is for you to figure out, that's why you're so good. Just take your time and eventually you'll get finished, and be proud that you did it. I am amazed at how you did fix this turntable. Such complexity and you knew what everything was and what it does, and you were able to put all the pieces back in place. Did you have any spare parts at the end?

Yep, this was a time when Sansui was cutting corners to try and overcome the labor issues due to the fall of the yen as their economy was in freefall or something like that. I had a rack system from Sansui for my first "true" stereo, it had the cheap direct drive semi auto, the PD-10 turntable, the motor was the cheap circuit board version of this motor and the flat round magnet was not level, so if the spindle was not set right, and it would often drift out, the magnet would drag on one spot of the circuit board the stators were printed on and it'd cause a major wow, once a revolution. At times it was pretty obvious. I had a bit better, but still budget belt drive Kenwood table from the same era roughly and it was also semi auto, got it from my parents in 1999 after my father passed on and my mother no longer wanted the big rig so the table came home with me and it did yeoman's duty for 21 years and with a good external phono stage and a Grado prestige green 1 cart, properly setup, it sounded and performed great for what it was. I've replaced it with a Rega P6, brand new in April and it's a MUCH better table than the Kenwood ever was. Anyway, will resume watching you try to get this old thing going again!

Wow, I'm impressed you had the patience to repair one of these "low flying" turntables from hell. Really impressive job!!! I've also done some of these turntables. And when it says full auto quartz direct drive, I know it can soon end in a monstrous time consuming job, and this one looks particularly a pain in the .... As for the parts mostly unavailable now, many of these decks simply ends now in the recycle circuit. Some also easily sell them to fools on the internet. Sansui wanted something of their own with a minimal budget, they produced a pale copy of Sony, whose mechanism are also particularly tricky (and prone to fail). Sansui is one representative of these Japanese brands once famous for quality, loosing a technical and commercial battle. Entering CD, turntables were also abruptly considered as "dead species", like reel to reels decks in the mid 70's! Most Japanese companies ended producing low quality electronics, survivors later moving their production to China in the early 1990'. The recorded track on the platter with magnetic heads are also classic on a Sony, but arms mechanism and limit switches are different, as the eventual optical auto detection (holes in the platter) of disk size. Sony also used some home brewed ICs and a thinner motor... Turntables are one of the most demanding audio stuff, as any mechanical problem has a direct incidence on the audio result, when it simply works! If you add electronics and sophisticated gears, this will necessarily implies complicated stuff, limited space, short wirings, tons of things to unmount to access essential parts, special lubricants and greases... and lots and lots of hours. Of course, if the result is perfect, you can expect to get some valuable item, as these mid 1980's turntables were supposed built with the ultimate technologies developed for vinyle audio. But these Sansuis are certainly some of the poorest manufactured I've seen, and somehow the worst choice available for the price and reputation. Of course, you can always find some workig poorer and sounding poorer than that, particularly in the most recent production! In the 1980's production, there are also numerous "last models", fairly good Denon, Technics, Sony and Pioneer with full auto features and "classic" arm, S or straight shaped! Some top end also included tangential arms systems, or some servo controlled antiskate arm, but you cannot get some real good audio and working system there without the proper budget. As the vinyle technology continued in Japan, beware of strange high end 100V only models! My advice as technician is to avoid full auto features if you can't afford 500 bucks minimum for a mint vintage working model, or stay on something more simple, a semi auto or full manual will give you something way more reliable and easier to manage. As for the audiophile aspect, most of the high end audio turntables are or look simple: you can always get something relatively simple and reliable, and spend much on the cartridge and the sound quality.

NLA high speed outputs, corrosive glue and shorted caps don't go well together so I haven't even powered it up aside from a function check on a current limiter when I got it.

I have a rare Scott PS-76 turntable from 1978 made in japan, it was my 2nd but first REAL turntable. My first was the Audio Technica PL-50 which is just like the common LP-60 but with a different body style. I loved my first, it did me well. But when I came across that Scott for $50 although it need a complete cartridge swap. Best manual record player I had yet. It's 1978 with direct drive. And I have 3 cartridges for it. The common AT-3600, the AT95e and my beloved AT-100e. It came with a discontinued Denon DL-160 and unfortunately the cantilever was broken right off. This turntable is still working flawlessly... to this day!! I luv it because it's my first with and actual counter weight, antiskate, direct drive and/or locked speed or variable speed... freakin luv this turntable. ok I'm done hahaha

. Automatic operation is extremely useful and saves both needle and LPs but I agree it is pain to repair. I use since 2015 automatic Bang Olusen which is done much more reasonably and driven all by main motor and even I have little problems with troubleshooting I pray that it works forever. Because it has obvious advantage of little mass of arm and pickup.

@@12voltvids I agree. Also I do the same - record to tape tracks from LP and mix in my personal order with other LPs . Then I have 4 hours tapes to play my top list which now is already about 30 Hours. Also from CDs. I skip some tracks Just for not searching all time in boxes of shelves and not dance with shells. But after time I see that I need to turn back to them also. So I need plate too. Also if I just want to listen to something coming to my mind it takes time to wind reels and find. Picking chosen LP and putting is quick. . My taste is defined, may be not so popular and on my records I do not find true garbage - I gave up buying new production at all. . . I was lucky few months ago to get LP preamp (first which at last matches my system) and In fact it is again new experience,. What I like in my turntable is that if only I place LP i press the button and can turn back and sit. I am less tense than with with my CD player which is also from B&O and remote controlled but must wait for opening doors, opening CD before placing, place and eventually close CD, door will close itself and start and happens not to start sometime. For LPs some distortions are enough compensated (for me) by it's original mastering which I consider more valid than 90dB noiseless. .

The typical design in audio equipment was that the technician had to desolder many cables from the board and then start working to repair the issue.Was common to cassette players and decks if had to replace even a belt,amplifiers that had no access from the external cover need wire desoldering,walkman tapes and miniature sized.That was the reason that the majority of the repair technicians hated to repair audio and prefered to work on televisions and vcr's.Shorter repair times and a lot more money.

Is this really 40 years old, from 1980? Somehow to me it looks pretty modern for it's age. Black plastic case, electronics and digital LED display gives me an impression from later 80's :) Then again, I don't know much about these so most likely I'm wrong :P Only turn table I've ever used, was in my parents JVC stereo system, which we bought in the late 80's. I think the model number was JVC AL-E31BK and the stereosystem JVC DR-E31BK or DR-E31LBK. The system had CD player too, JVC XL-E31BK. Have you ever stumbled upon this kind of JVC system? Are these any good? The system was sold in 2018 because my parents moved to smaller place and there was no space for it anymore. Never needed any repairs so at least our unit worked reliably all this time, about 30 years.

every thing made by Sansewage was garbage! Hated to see any of their products come into the shop! I used ti sic the newbe techs on them so I could take the good stuff! Pioneer, Tecnics, Sony, Nacamichi, Akia

We called them shitsui and unfortunately i had to fix them because i was the only licensed tech in the shop. The other Jr techs would walk away from the tough stuff because they could which meant it landed on my bench. I hated them, and Yamaha.
