I certainly agree with Dover that you are better off with the ET tonearm, but that involves a larger cash expenditure. On the other hand, you might justify it by thinking that the T3F will likely be problematic in the long term, even if you fix it right now.
Please Help T3F problems
I really Miss my Goldmund Studio/T3F
As soon as I turn the table on the toneearm drives straight to the spindle risking my Kouetsu Onyx cartridge. It did this to me years ago and I found that by repeatedly turning it off and on I eventually got it to work and I just left it turned on. That worked for awhile but now it will not come out of that mode.
I have a Krell, Apogee Fullrange, Suprateck system and cds just aren't cutting it.
If anyone has any experience with this, Id really appreciate any assistance
Thanks in advance for any help

My preference is to fix the T3F. I know it sounds fantastic on my system. I just don't know if I have the technical skills to repair it. I'll keep trying for awhile but I need to make a decision and move ahead. My turntables have both been down for awhile and my system just doesn't sound the same with a cd source. |

You’ve done remarkably well to keep a T3F in service all these years. As I recall back around the mid 80's when Harry Pearson had the Goldmund tables in house at Sea Cliff the T3F was a constant source of frustration with issues similar to what you describe. |
