Technics SL-5 Sixries Part 6

It's time to deal with the broken plastics. In this video, I show the disassembly of the sled mechanism and how to get the plastics separated out so we can work on them. I also show how I repaired the cracks with a specialist plastic repair kit, with good results. As an aside, afterwards I decided to use a little car polish to see how 'invisible' the repair could be. Interestingly, the original plastic stayed fairly dull while the repair material took a high shine. #1000 it is then.
This video got quite long, and you've been patient up until now. So let's just agree that re-assembly is the reverse of disassembly, OK? Which is my way of saying I already reassembled it and didn't film it. Which might actually be an act of kindness if you think about it.
Next step then is to set the servo gain, and I might make a jig to make that a bit easier.
Um, enjoy?

I don't have one of these, but this is great!
