You videos are great. I got a 1950 with stacker,, that would hardly move and now it works great. I have 8 turntables so I know my way around, but with your videos I know everything before I take it apart. Only a 2 hour job includeding trouble shooting. Keep up the great videos.
Instead of clipping the plastic piece I would have tried to sand in down some to fit. Maybe with a dremel. I really enjoy your videos.I feel very confident now about working on my own turntables
Thanks so much for your work here. I've got both an SL-1900 and an SL-1950; they were my sister's and my first good turntables, bought back in the 70s. They haven't worked for years. Because of your videos I've been able to fix the cueing, arm lift and sticky anti-skate on both of them and they are back making music. Unfortunately the auto return on the SL-1950 isn't functioning and I can't figure out why, and I can't find much info on how to repair it. Do you have any guidance on where to look to diagnose? Thanks in advance for any help.
You're probably right, that no unit exists, now or in the past, that has an arm that lifts up, with each succsesive record, being played in a stack. You should have had the arm, released from the rest, when you manually rotated the platter, although I'm sure, no harm was done.
Hello. Great video, thank you!! I followed this and the one for the 1900 to clean up my father’s 1950 from my childhood. It was spinning prior to me taking it all apart. Wondering if the plastic parts need to align in a certain way when reassembling? Step by step I’m figuring it out, thinking this might be my last issue. How do I reach you for repair service if I’m close enough to bring it to you? Thank you!!
Thanks for the video....I am working on the same turntable. Everything is working except when I turn the stop button to stop, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Everything looks correct
Hey just lookinh for help if any is available, do you happen to know if you have a spare anti-skate spring for this table? I desperately need one to restore the tt i picked up friday!
I have this same turntable and have a question about how fast the arm falls once the cueing arm is dropped. Do you have a website/email that I could contact you at?
Well I happen to disagree with your hatred of changers I have several ,A Dual 1009sk ,1225 one BSR 610 normally 4 to 6 lps could be used but even from what I have seen with that many lp's I have never seen tonearm that badly off most changers compensare for that even if you exceed the max the cartridge is still level or within norm I have been experimenting with these changers I have heard no difference with one record or 6 records no sound difference I usaully never put more than 4 lp's anyway I have nkot seen so far any scratches on records so far like I said I have trying to prove wether these audiophiles are right or not so far not
Theyre not right. Theres no difference in sound with VTA, and the grooves dont touch each other, so stacking is fine. people THINK they hear a difference, they really dont.
@@TuneStunnaMusic Beginning with the second disk on the stack, the disks are much more subject to bass feedback as they are not resting on the rubber mat, but resting on the outer lip of the disk below. So....heavy bass notes will vibrate the disk like a microphone diaphragm, which feeds right into the cartridge. This is not a problem at low or moderate volume levels, but I have seen bass feedback loops that sounded horrendous when the turntable was sitting in a standingh wave area or when volume levels were very high. Muddy bass is the result -- very much audible.

Thank you, just the video I need to repair my SL-B202 turntable.
The "repeat mode" was for dialing in how many records you were stacking, so it would know how many times to cycle.

The stop arm is probably not engaging the mechanism on the base.

Very nice job! You do make it look easy! But I know they can be a real pain in the A...

Do you know where to get a new stylus for the sl1950?

I have one of these. Any tricks to get the dust cover to stay up?
Try squeezing the little tabs that hold the spring down.

If they are asking ridiculous amounts of money for the spindle then they are not going to sell
