HK T-60


I have an HK T-60 turntable that I bought new in 1983. It has been a great pice of equipment especially considering the price! Lately, the speed has been a bit irregular, especially with the quartz lock engaged. Is there a reasonable repair for this issue? Or, would I be better off to try and find a new TT ?

Hello

I don't know if you saw this but here are some service manuals and instructions for the HK T-60 turntable. Maybe their is some info int here about the issue you mention.

Where are you located? I know of some good techs in the NJ, NYC, and Long Island area that could help you trouble shoot this issue. It would be $50 or $60 to start though. I don't know how much money you want to put into the HK-T60.

For me if the repair was under $200 I'd do it. It can be very hard to find a used or new TT under $200. With the HK-T60 you already know what you have.
spray deoxit onto pitch control and jerk it back and fourth. if it doesn't help, do that under chassis.
