Garrard AT6 Record Changer Restoration

[@TubeRadiosRule]

I have one of these players, and I love it! Nice, sturdy vintage equipment. I use it with a Pickering V-15 cartridge and a conical stylus.

Hmmm so nothing fixed I see. When the top arm is in the open position it will keep repeating.

Hi, I'm from Brazil, I have a at 60 and i'll restore it. Great video. Tks

I have this deck and there is an annoying noise from it but I used an earth cable from the mixer to metal part on my pc case and that helped but its still there.

[@haskellbob]

How long are you going to leave that top-lock arm way over there where it shouldn't be? Maddening! Did you ever get it right?

[@larryshaver3568]

the steps on the idler pulley need cleaning very badly

[@larryshaver3568]

i have an X-10 that has a stuck overarm. i hope you were able to fix the one on that.

[@bretthibbs6083]

my dad had something similar to that console in the pics you showed except it was smaller I think and it sounded great

When the grey swing arm is left up while it plays it will repeat put it down and it will turn off after triggering at the end of the record.

[@JimsRadioShop]

That's how most work. When the arm is swung to the right, it is stopped from dropping low and triggering the stop function.

Hey Jim, does this Garrard AT6 Automatic Record Changer have a hertz or a switch that set for the UK 50 htz or US 60 htz? I am concern about the electrical voltage so I can avoid getting shock? I service the record player about 2 days ago. That was lubricated all the bearings the Idle Wheel, Metal Plate for the cam and mechanism underneath the unit. What should I do? Can I use a Audio Technica Cartridge with Stylus on the Headshell as well. Thanks.

[@rightyred]

I read from the manual that if the motor pulley (it's the stepped pully) is silver, it is wired for 50 hertz. If brass - 60 htz. Voltages however are another issue. maybe a sticker is still on it that gives the specifications?

[@cool4rocknroll]

@@rightyred Okay thanks for that info Mr. RightyRed. I appreciate it very much. Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday. Take Care, Phil

[@deborahdelacruz4136]

Hello Jim :) I was wonder where to get and how to change the needle out? If you know could you let me know or make a video on how to? Thank you?

[@Sk8rboy420]

Depends on your cartridge. My Garrard came with Pickering v15 cartridge and therefore that’s the replacement stylus you need. Cheap ones are around $20 on eBay or Amazon. Good luck!

[@Sk8rboy420]

Ofcourse, it depends on your cartridge... lift up the arm and you should see a brand and or model number next to the needle. That’ll determine which stylus you need in most cases. Also look up how to adjust weight using a small scale and other adjustment on KZbin. vinyl is tedious and you can get very nerdy about it. Hence “AudioPhiles”

[@skycarl]

You set the arm weight at zero where the arm just floats,,,, then turn the dial to 2 or 3 grams to start.

Like a boss

[@rakosipeter7446]

Unfortunately, this fix failed.

[@alphasuck6538]

What kind of console is this from?
