As far as torque goes, my TT-101 has plenty. As stated in the service manual, the LED reads 33.33 in 3 seconds after the button is pushed. Which as stated in the SM it hits 0.6 secs after being pushed. I clean my record on it with wet brush before I vacuum on my Record Doctor. Every once in a while it will drop to 33.32 rpm. I also adjusted the the stop pot so it come to a dead stop. Very happy with it.
JVC tt-101 repair
Got a JVC QL-10 with a 120V TT-101. Speed is wonky. Sometimes plays fine, sometimes spins a 1000 RPM, somtimes runs forward & then backward. Could use some help.

Hello group! i just inherited a: JVC QL-10 TT-101 Victor Company of Japan Ltd plinth, 120v 60hz. And it has a Lustre GST-801 tonearm. I plugged it in and it ran perfect for about 10 minutes (33.33) After that, it just took off to over 60rpms and it won’t slow down. it was my uncles, he bought it new in the 70s. it hasn’t been use for many years. anyone else had this problem? Thank you. |
anyone else had this problem? In many we have had very very similar problems. Someone has solved them, others (like me) are still working. Look this... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vintage-dd-turntables-are-we-living-dangerously |
As I posted on your Audiokarma thread, 1st place to start is with the double sided PC board eyelits. Several have stated this is an issue with this table. Mine had the same speed fast issue. Though it took 3 tries with the eyelits with 3 separate speed issues ( running fast, intermittent cogging between 33.32 & 33.34 and stopping issue), it now runs as it should. If you don’t feel confident to try it, read as much as you can, get with a competent repair shop in your area and discus it. Probably can take care of the speed issues. |
