perhaps I’m mistaken, but reports have suggested that the coils of the Victor MC-L1000 were not printed, like MC-1 and MC-L10.I know of a famous cartridge repair men in my country who confirmed to me that the Victor 1000 has printed coils

My FR-64s Tonearm has been completely restored now…. New ABEC-9 tight Tolerance Bearings Video… Bearing set precisely with Torque Wrench, with no play and no over tightness. Bearings has been replaced with ABEC-9 highest swiss quality bearing with proper location. The dynamic VTF spring has been properly lubricated with Synthetic Grease. The Ikeda silver wire has been replaced with AnalogMagik Reference Tonearm Silver Wire, with Silver Braided Shield. One cable soldered behind the HS Mount replacing DIN connectors to WBT 0102 AG Silver Plugs for Phono Input. No more interruptions. I also had the option for Kondo silver wire inside, but i got their KSL cables for a try some years ago and i gave them back. Did not come close to premium Audioquest wire. |
A cheap check / improvement for your Arm Turn the VTF knob do you feel the clicks when you pass 1.0. … 1.5 …2.0 etc or hear it?Or nothing when you turn it?When not, then the grease inside is stiff …. And the Arm is far away from it’s abilities … no problem … put it out into the sun on a warm summer day that it heats up … then do it again multiple times and you will hear the clicks very clear and the move of the knob will be without force …. Install it and listen … it will be a huge sonic difference to the better … and the grease will stay more liquid/smooth for a pretty long time …. |
