Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

Theophile,

You do note that all, but the first the above posts with links to the Systems page are answers to questions and requests from other contributors to this thread ?

Good Listening

Questions that could easily be answered on a tailor-made PBN turntable thread.

I don't want to report Peter. I just want to see the thread revert to the topic. The on-going advertising of PBN turntable restorations, with little or no insight as to the specifics of the work done, can be continued elsewhere.
It would be relevant to this thread if the faults found and the remedies applied to the eventual PBN turntables was being discussed, but they are not.

It would be interesting to open a specific thread for the plinths, initially this thread was born for the Victor TT-101 and similar turntables with so much electronics inside.

The Victor TT101 is a completely different beast - have one that is partially overhauled, the complexity of this is quite unique.  That plus the electronics are mounted on a flimsy large PCB with a myriad of wire jumpers.  Most errors on these have been cracked PCB lanes when conferring with JP, our resident TT101 Expert :-)  somewhere further up this thread I have made a list of suitable transistor replacements for it and have some of the un-obtanium IC's as well should anyone need any - had to buy 10 of them.    

I'm hoping to get it working sometime but there is just too much to do 

Good Listening

Peter
