Goldmund Studietto repairs

In the title of this thread, it is revealed that the turntable in question is specifically a Goldmund Studietto, not a JVC or anything else.  Steve Dobbins would know what to do and what not to do with the bearing.  Same applies to the servo mechanism. Dobbins is a recognized expert on the Technics SP turntables and has marketed his own revision of the SP10 Mk3, as a separate product under his own brand, "Kodo the Beat".  If Steve would work on a Studietto, it could not be in better hands.

Well there's a Can of Worms, if ever there was one.

I would put a wager on a Goldring Studietto being from the stable of a Japanese Vintage DD TT. I'm sure another will highlight exactly which Stable as well. 

I'm sure there was an abundance of Spare Parts for TT's when the Japanese Brands were visualising larger sales volumes from the CD Market, which they did very well from.   

No one would ever believed there was Tobacco used in Mummy Bindings, until Guess What, Nicotine and Cocaine were both discovered.

Never say Never, or was the CIA formed much much earlier in History, learning its notoriety claim for the establishing of easement programmes for these narcotic types ? 

@lewm , Thanks. I've checked his site. Very interesting. I'm sure not interested in 'triflers'. Nice.

@ptss 

The early Goldmund Studio/Studietto used a Papst motor.

The later Studio/Studietto uses a JVC DD motor.

The tonearm is a dog - you would be better off replacing it with a pivoted arm - much less hassle.

Thanks. Ant difference in the motors? How did you learn this?
