Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I have just acquired a 32 year old JVC/Victor TT-101 DD turntable after having its lesser brother, the TT-81 for the last year.
TT-101
This is one of the great DD designs made at a time when the giant Japanese electronics companies like Technics, Denon, JVC/Victor and Pioneer could pour millions of dollars into 'flagship' models to 'enhance' their lower range models which often sold in the millions.
Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.

I shouldn't have done it but I just bought one of these. http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-QL-F6.html |
The story of Thuchan's 'chip' is quite complex..... After about 6 weeks of his Bavarian Tech taking apart the Victor, Thuchan Emailed me that it needed a 'chip' which his Tech had ordered from China but which didn't arrive. He gave me the chip No. which I promptly Googled http://www.ic2ic.com/search.jsp?sSearchWord=SC3042&prefix=S to discover that this seemed to be available everywhere.....even in Germany. So I sent this information.... 6 weeks later Thuchan says his Tech can't get the 'chip' and again I do another Google search with different results for this 'chip' available all over the world. 6 weeks later....can't get 'chip'.....can I help..ππ½ At this stage I had no idea what No. 'chip' Lew had stashed 2 years ago....but as I could do no more, I told Thuchan to contact Lew on the off-chance...πβ And as fate would have it......Lew's 'chip' was the 'magic' one... A story with a happy ending...πΌπ |
