Thank you for the videos. I own 2 off these turntables and they are still working with no big issues and to my knowledge never been serviced. After watching your videos i chose to take one apart to change the grease. The grease was pretty gummed up some places. Now on to the next one. That should make them run for the next 45 years. Regards Martin from Denmark
Hi Martin, Thanks for watching my video and for your comments. I'm glad it helped you to restore your turntable. Just for curiosity, what cartridge and stylus do you have in your TT? Regards, Frank
@@franklima1269 Hi Frank. I use Ortofon Om cartridge and Ortofon Night Club E stylus on both turntables,with 1 gram extra weight plate.I still have one of the original cartridge/stylus Technics EPC- 270C
Thank you very much for making the video - it was very well presented. It gave me the confidence to tackle a similar issue on my SL-3300 where it would not drop down on to the record and then re-cue up and try again. Though I admit I was not as brave to completely tear it down as you for fear of breaking a part and then having to search for an obsolete replacement part - I did remove anything that was on a metal pin as most were gummed up with the old grease. Works super smooth now. Being able to go back to your video on a couple items as I was not sure how a spring attached when I removed it and was able to check your video was a life saver.
@@desmoface That's right. Mechanical watches are my passion. I have about 5 other videos of watch repairs that I need to edit and post them so please checking this channel. Thanks
Great Tutorial 👍 I bought one yesterday but have to take it completely apart. It was standing in the attic for 20 years. It is completely covered in dust. Would u mind helping me if I get in any trouble to service this great machine. I also need to take the tonearm out to get everything clean again. But I'm not in a hurry....😊
@@franklima1269 that sounds great Frank. I would say I'm well experienced. I repaired cars and motorbikes, builded radio controlled planes with gas engines with a wingspan of 7-8 feet and also helicopters. Have a little experience in soldering and electronics......but that would be my first complete service on a record player. But I also take many pictures when I take things apart to be able to put them together again. That helps a lot. Greetings from Germany
@@franklima1269 Yesterday came my SL-3300. It was really dirty and had a lot of hardened duct tape on the dust cover. Today at 9am I took the dust cover of and gave it a quick cleaning with a paint brush and a vacuum cleaner. After that I tried what was working. To my surprise it started turning manual and everything seemed to be okay so far. But none of the knobs could be moved except the two black wheels. So I took my tablet started your video and took everything apart like u did. Nearly no arm or other things were moving because of old grease that got hard. After cleaning everything and give it some good oil and grease I reassembled everything. Your video was a great guide for that. Thanks a 1000 times for that. At 5 pm everything was working like a charm and I tested the first vinyl on that. The stylus is done but everything works now. I will order a good turntable pickup and the next days it'll get a proper deep clean. I'm totally excited how it'll sound then. Thanks again for be willing to help. Regards from Germany Nordmannbiker
Unbelievable how you got that back together. Really great work. - Just picked one up. Everything seems to work and it sounds great. One question, the strobe on mine seems really dim, does it work without it?
Yes, the turntable will work without the strobe light but it will be difficult for you to adjust the speed. It should be a simple repair. just change the neon light bulb which is probably weak. www.amazon.com/Jameco-Valuepro-NE-2H-C2A-65-120VAC/dp/B06WGN3DFG I found this video showing how to replacer the bulb. It's not for the same TT model but it should give you an idea on how to do it. let me know it goes. ruclips.net/video/gefqoZsSI4I/видео.html
Hi there With your help I got mine working very well. Thank you. Is it easy to take out the spring hinge for the dust cover? Cant seem to work out how to release it as one is broken as are the hinge tabs (usual technics flaw). Best wishes
Hi there. Thanks for watching my video and I'm glad it helped you to get your TT working again. I have no issues to take out the hinge in my TT. It came out very easily. Perhaps you could try to put some drops of water mixed with detergent to try to make it "slippery" and easy to take it out. Let know it this works? Thanks. FL
Hi Robert. Thanks for watching my video. I did not replace the dampening fluid because the tone arm was lowering smoothy and, since I didn't have the silicone dampening fluid, I've decided the leave it alone. I found this video on RUclips for a similar model. The mechanism is different but the cueing lever mechanism is practically the same. The access to the cueing lever mechanism on SL-3300 is much easier so it should be much easier to do it on the SL-3300 than what's on the video. ruclips.net/video/_XrJgLzHk-g/видео.html Here is the link to the Silicone Damping Fluid for tonearm cueing mechanism. turntablebasics.com/silicone.html Take care, Frank
Hi, Thanks for watching my video and for your comments. Sorry, I don't sell turntables. This one in the video is the only one I have and it's my personal TT. Take care.
thanks so much for all your hard work on this! I have a 3350 that repeats but I know the issues. there is a broken plastic piece deep inside you illustrated. thanks. Any chance you could chat about how I might source a replacement. I have been monitoring sites but it has been difficult. thanks again
Hi, Thanks for watching my video and for your comments. I do repairs for hobby but, yes, I can provide repair services for others. Do you have a turntable that needs to be repaired/restored? Thanks
And watching you work just looks like poetry. I'd trust sending you the table for repair. I also have no time window. I know things like this take time.

The hands of a surgeon - excellent job, my friend.
Thank you for the compliments. BTW, my hands are not as red as they're showing in the video :)
@@franklima1269 I just realized why you looked like a pro working on that turntable, you work on watches. Bravo.

Mr Lima, do you ever sell refurbished turntables? Ones that you breathed some life into, like this one?
Hi, Thanks for watching my video and for your comments.
Sorry, I don't sell turntables. This one in the video is the only one I have and it's my personal TT.
Take care.

Hi Micheal, thanks for you message.
What part is it? please send photo. Have you tried to fins it on eBay?
What grease did you use?
Thanks for watching my video.
I used Super Lube 21030 Synthetic grease.

Maybe have people pay for a repair? Or can someone pay for your repair services?
