JVC tt-101 repair

Great, i have two of them here, nobody touched them yet, but one of them is working only if i touch the platter by fingers first. The problem with the repair services is that some of them prefers the original condition, not after someone else repair.

After watching SoundSmith video i realized he could repair vintage electronics too. Maybe i should ask about their quotes and experience with TT-101. I'm thinking to send him one of my Victor direct-coupled MC cartridges for repair.

my turntable has the exact same problem, then after some time he begins to lose laps and slows down to stop

Mine, after the eyelet procedure is still running fine. Been enjoying it. Still would like a 7045 arm, though.

The 7045 is often on sale on ebay, a little less than 5045.

Gary7, send me your location address for a 7045 tonearm.
