@tonywinga , is your Condor/Roadrunner in a single chassis? With three buttons?
If so are you having any trouble with the turntable switching speeds when you turn it on?

@mijostyn: I did until I grounded the motor housing. After playing a good 22 albums the speed has jumped to 45 rpm when I start it just one time and that was early on. So I tend to think the ground wire helps. Yes, I have the three buttons- (+) (-) and STBY. I have the Roadrunner box next to the turntable. The vacuum pump box and PSU sit about 6 feet away. I can see the Condor controller mounted next to the motor under the motor cover. I put the ground wire on one of the motor mounting screws and that goes to the star ground nut and then to the phono preamp ground. |
@mijostyn Not my experience with OL customer service. Their website is rich with support information to help users get the best from their arms (which are excellent) and Mark Baker and his team are very responsive via email. |
@dodgealum , I am just parroting what I have heard from several different sources, at least 4 that I can remember. Where there is smoke. |
Here is an example of customer service. I was having difficulty getting cartridge mounting plates for my Schroder CB tonearm. One dealer wanted $125 for each plate and two others could not find a source. Finally I emailed a Schroder dealer in Europe. The very next day I get an email from Frank Schroder apologizing for the problem. The US market is handled by Thrax who has been lax at supplying spares. Frank was ... not happy. He sent me four plates for $200. |
