Victor TT 801
seems Audio Video Consultants is still around, they might have some advice https://wired4sound.com/ This is gorgeous https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/gallery/image/14124 |
If chakster is correct, and what he said makes sense, then all you need is a TT81 service manual, which I believe is available on Vinyl Engine for free.Think of the TT801 as a TT 81 with a separate vacuum platter system built-in. I was able to get a TT101 service manual from VE, so you should be fine. |
@elliot many thanks for your information, I will try to contact your seller and also Foxtan but I have doubts they may have a service manual.I tried to contact a couple of times 6 months ago also a repairman who recapped and calibrated a TT 801 but never replied and this creates great displeasure to me .... yet it is said that the Japanese people are friendly!! http://amp8.com/amp-etc/record/victor/tt-801.htm Usually a recap necessarily implies a calibration but without service manual you cannot proceed casually. @lewn @chackster I doubt it's like TT81 but I will check |
Before Chak posted, I would have said it's a TT101 with vacuum platter, not a TT81. But if you look at the cross-sectional views on Vintage Knob, you will see that much of the interior space is taken up by the vacuum system, which when I first saw the pictures made me wonder how on earth they can fit all the TT101 electronics in there. So, if it's a TT81, that makes more sense to me. In any case, if it's a TT101 electrically, that service manual is also available on VE. So, you are covered either way. I think it does state on Vintage Knob that it is a TT101, electrically, but VK is not infallible. |
