Came upon this by chance. I’m resurrecting my vintage stereo equipment, purchased with money from my high school graduation. (1977). Just pulled my SL 220 out of the attic, after 30 years.
Completely new to this. Was wondering how to reach those speed dial pots to clean them, think i got it with this video. Thanks Edit: Figured it out had to pop the switch off to take the board out 🤣
Thank you for these videos. I noticed on this 220 that the actual hinge on the base was missing from one side. My cover won't stay up. I need to remove them and make an adjustment. How do you remove them??
This just started happening on my SL-D3. I hit start and intermittently the arm goes up and then after a couple of seconds it goes back down and the platter switches off. So it doesn't move to the platter. Any ideas?

Best of luck getting the table running again.
IT’S ALIVE. Thanks for the info.

I believe there is a tab accessible from underneath the hinge 'housing'...if that makes any sense.
@millervintagehifi3034 Yes there is. Got one side off bent the sping to give it more tension. Done!

Maybe hardened or sticky grease underneath. Could be lots of things...
It’s considered a semi-automatic turntable. You que it up, and returns at the end of the record.
Yup
