Technics brand vinyl player restoration // Restoring antique vinyl players

[@djm5k]

I have the same turntable which I bought new back in the 1970’s. It worked perfect up until I took it out of service, and would probably work if I decided to use it in the future. Technics makes good, solid, high-quality turntables among other components.

[@pinohurtado434]

The best turntable I have always had. I have it since 1976 or so... Now is on restoration of the spin system which clogged. Fortunalately I found a tornero who will make make the bronze piece again

[@ravioli9728]

Nice work, you make it look easy

[@judgedead7321]

It would be better to polish the lid

[@richardcline1337]

Those polish out really well when a good scratch remover polish is used along with a few cotton balls and a microfiber towel for final cleaning. I've done several and it can be a tedious job but well worth the effort. I would NEVER recommend what he did here.

[@tomscotland]

Exact same model as the TT I have right now. Good solid unit. It sounds excellent paired with an ATVM95E cart.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

I've one of those since bought new in the 70's. All it's ever needed was a drop of oil on the spindle every 10 years. Still works great.

[@madhusudan4363]

Great job

[@nickosidiropoulos2274]

one of the very first tables I used in a club around 1977....they fought me every step of the way....if you held the table to slow it down, it would speed up, if you pushed the table to speed up, it slowed down...it was battle every night...then the 1800's came out.....id do it all again...

TECHNICS the best Turntables ever produced especially the DJ Style SL-1200's 1210 series

[@AyalaMatherd]

Marantz, Denom, Cambridge Audio may argue with that. I have a Technics and love it, but I don’t know if any one player takes that slot.

[@josephlalock8378]

all that work and left 40+ year old caps in it...and you were right there! 😂

[@grahamluscombememories9897]

While in there you should replace all electrolytic capacitors and the RCA cables. Maybe even consider changing the tonearm wires? Nice detailed video. Would love to know specifics of what greases and oils you are using.

[@daverowley2013]

I have a similar unit, except the belt drive SL-B2 from 1979. It goes fine,it’s a semi automatic and decent quality. A couple of years ago I replaced that original Technics cartridge with a modern audio technica, and the sound is 100% better!

[@AudioGuyBrian]

I have a bunch of various models of SL-Dx SL-Jx SL-Bx tables. None have ever given me a bit of trouble. Just a bead of oil on the center spindle every decade and good to go.

[@jatontherun]

It looks like the one I purchased in 1977. It was a great turntable. I actually gave it away to someone who later told me he never used it! Well I asked if he could return it and he said he had given to someone. Next time I won’t be so generous! 😢

[@TomLymberopoulos-du5he]

Absolutely

[@vasiliishafetov4327]

Да уж, мастер: не проверив ничего разобрал до винтика, переполоскал, смазал солидолом, без флюса перепаял все что легко достать, собрал, не настраивал, не регулировал и ф-ф-фсё! Работает. "Великий мастер"! Из разряда "жесткий диск -усилитель НЧ 50 Вт".

[@kakarrot62]

the cover could have been better restored by using automotive scratch remover polish and a little elbow grease. then it would come out crystal clear. you can still do it. i have restored about 8 covers this way. great you brought some good equipment back to life.

[@TomLymberopoulos-du5he]

I had one of these but the Pitch Control was always slipping it would not hold the pitch on 45 records. That said, I always would buy TECHNICS they are a excellent brand of Turntable.

[@richardcline1337]

The Technics SL-D3 is a fully automatic direct drive turntable. The SL-D2 is an auto return unit. I own a Technics SL-D1 which is also a direct drive but is fully manual which is how I prefer to play my records. Most people have no idea that these great turntables are actually made by Panasonic, a name that usually is linked to el cheapo stereos. The Technics are about as good as they get for consumer level use. The direct drive turntables use NO belts or idler wheels (remember the Garrards and BSR's along with many Realistic units that all used idler wheels?) The only fault I have with any Technics turntable are those fragile tabs on the rear of the dust cover. They break quite easily of you aren't careful in how you raise and lower that cover. Mine has a replacement cover with metal tabs which makes it much more sturdy.

[@breezebenitses397]

Hi Richard did you replace the dust cover tabs yourself? Where did you buy them from? Cheers

[@richardcline1337]

@@breezebenitses397 Yes, I found them on eBay. My replacement cover did not have the tabs so I found these, lined them up with the mounts on the turntable base and slowly drilled the holes for the screws that hold the table on. You don;'t want to run the drill fast as it will just melt the plastic and possibly crack the new cover. I would share the link but KZbin, in it's paranoid state, would just remove it.

[@breezebenitses397]

Thank you for the reply

Ficou meia boca, não mostrou o porque, não funcionava, e nem qual componente ou componentes estavam ruins, a tampa ficou muito ruim, se fizesse um polimento, ficaria muito melhor, deixou ela fosca, e não mostrou o funcionamento do aparelho, tocando um Vinil, colocar na tomada e mostra o aparelho ligando e com rotação e acionamento do braço ao descanso é uma coisa diferente, do funcionamento na íntegra, tocando um disco de vinil com a regulagem de pit funcionando perfeitamente etc... 🖖 Mais valeu o vídeo, vai ganhar um like....

Plus he used a soldering gun instead of an electronics soldering iron. Must be a bored plumber.

[@stevesstuff1450]

@@AudioGuyBrian: Also amazing that it played music without the RCA phono plugs being connected to anything....!! 😜 I don't remember any Technics record decks that had Bluetooth back in the late '70s, or early '80s... Ha Ha ha 🤣

[@Edisson.]

@@stevesstuff1450 She is also a question of how it would work, I don't know if it's damaging the camera, but from my point of view, poorly adjusted pressure and side pull of the arm + bad speed correction (service technician and SL-Q3 owner) Mainly a poorly done job.

[@BrentMeirmans]

Nice Job. Except for the hood. Missed chance there. It should have been polished properly with a metal polish or another polishing agent. It would have been shining and see through! And loosing that ancient harden't pick-up element would have been a good idea! after 10 years the cantilever inside the pick-up will not be doing its job properly, could use some rejuvination!

[@richardcline1337]

If I am seeing that cartridge correctly it is a Technics but I can't see the model number below the name. I have that same one on my Technics and this model has a replaceable stylus (needle)which makes it a moving magnet type. The moving coil type has to be retipped by a professional and they can get rather expensive.

[@albanoamparo8987]

Buen trabajo. ¿qué tipo de grasa y aceite usaste? Gracias.

[@lotto123ish]

A new lid would be nice.

[@richardcline1337]

Those are readily available and are usually made to order for each model. They come with metal tabs instead of the flimsy plastic ones. Normally I would recommend polishing the cover but since this one is cracked a new one would be in order.

@@richardcline1337 Yes, you are right!

[@AyalaMatherd]

Record player or turn table. Nobody calls them “vinyl players”. People new to record collecting overuse the term “vinyl” to an extreme degree. Also, the plural of vinyl, is vinyl. The album itself is called an LP, album or record. “Vinyl” is just used as a broad term for all records (ie: record collecting or vinyl collection), but individual albums are just called albums or LP’s (unless they’re an EP), not “vinyls”. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Its called a 'record player'. Also, it is not an antique. 1970s or 1980s.

[@scrunts666]

Almost everything done in this video was pointless and it probably worked and could have been shown as working if he had just moved the arm, which turns it on. But clearly he wanted to try and trick people into thinking he did something amazing, which he did not. The re-wire, the testing, all pointless, all a waste of time.

[@FMRPhoto1]

I think the same thing. No ajustement what so ever, and he's not soft with the tonearm that tells me he doesnt know much about turntable

[@jerryspann8713]
