JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES

@lohanimal 


it would not have been difficult to unscrew 3 screws after removing the platter and only send the motor so as to avoid damaging the plinth or the cover, which is also simple for a woman.
The repairer just had to adjust the engine.

 However, a first principle for shipping a turntable is to separate and isolate dust cover, platter, and chassis from each other, in separate boxes if necessary.

Correct!

I got my JVC TT101 fully sorted out by Wllkinsons in the UK.

Your drive is working now ? Do you know what was done?
And what is his service price ?

@chakster 
I will fish out the reciept - the main issues I had looked at were the electrolytics
I had the bearing checked, and got a silicone nitride ball and teflon thrust plate for it
Including my bits it was only about £300 UKP - but they have a serious backlog - I waited 2 years - that said I never chased them up whilst my house was being extended!

@best-groove and @lewm 

You guys have stated what the reasonable man would call the obvious - regrettably the seller was not aware of that - may explain the tonearm being mounted over 10mm too close - along with the great price

As I know from another thread - it can be risky buying vintage - hey ho - it's better than being too vintage oneself :) 

I've become vintage while listening to vintage turntables and other vintage gear.  It's a comfort.
