| Rotel Turntable speed Thanks to both of your for your responses. I'm confident in the belt size, but I will try your method of letting the platter spin freely, to see if it stops in the same spot each time. There are some caps in the motor control circuit which I did n... | |
| Is it normal for the woofer to move in/out slowly What you are describing happens to my woofers when I turn my power amp ON. I don't have any tubed gear though, so it may not be a good comparison. I'm not an expert, but I don't think this would cause damage unless it happened for an extended peri... | |

| Rotel RCD-1070 replacement My new laser/pickup came today... just did the swap. I haven't powered it back up yet. The original one had some white grease on it where it slid on the little rod, and I was wondering if there is a specific type I should use there. I'd like to ge... | |
| Rotel RCD-1070 replacement Thanks to Rudd & Tobias, I tracked down the part number for the laser pickup and ordered one online for about $13 shipped. If that doesn't work, I'll probably see what I can get for it on ebay.I found the Yamaha DVD-S1800 on Amazon for $80, so... |
