Thanks Peter but I can't afford one. Besides I have an SP-10 MKIII that I really love as well as about five more models I am in the process of rebuilding myself.

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.

Theophile, Possibly, however these are Vintage DD tables and the OP of this tread specifically discuses the possibility that no repair of such is possible should they break. My postings should clearly communicate that repair certainly is possible of the machines, by me and a lot of other knowledgeable folks that have contributed to this long tread. Good Listening Peter |
