Doesn't the SL1500MK2 use the same motor and possibly chip as the SL1200MK2?

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.

You can see the service manual for the SL1500MK2 here showing the chips that are used: http://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-1500.shtml |
lewm . What I don't get is whether the guy who figured this out and went to the trouble of creating a PCB, on which to mount his circuit that replaces the single chip that "runs" a Mk3, is selling or is going to sell the PCBs along with instructions on how to stuff the board. The maker JP does intend to sell the board for use in the SP10MKIII's and I have inquired as to contacting and selling, and will post his reply. |
