The motor itself also has trim pots allowing you to center the user adjustable pots equally.

I have a 6300 myself. I had it serviced. I just needed a new strobe light and a good cleaning. Hopefully I’ll get another 45 years of use out of it. But, wait…. I’m not going to around another 45 years. But, you get my point. 😊😊

Great video. I have a Marantz 6320 table, the same table that came with no tonearm, and viewing your video has given me the knowledge and confidence to work on the old table. Thanks!

You just inspired me last night to try and fix my my Marantz 6200...had a loose pitch knob and wouldn't hold pitch at all. Turns out it was a loose nut....and I was about to send it off to a repair man. Saved myself some time and money. Thanks for the video.

This video gave me the confidence to get into my 6300. It was my goodwill find of the ages.

The 6300 came out in late 1975 and was made for three years. In my opinion of of the most attractive TTs ever made. Performance was on par with other direct drives of the period with perhaps a bit of an edge over some due to it's somewhat more rugged construction.

Preventive maintenance is the key to a successful repair in any electronic equipment. "Nicely Done"

Beautiful turntable. Love these videos.

Awesome! Three totally different Blueglow videos in the same weekend all with their own merits. I sure would like to see a good thorough restoration of a MAC 1700. Mine is sitting on my bench awaiting my attention. I've watched around 95% of your videos including your EE 101 series. I always learn something or at least a new twist on things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for your time and knowledge. God Bless You.

Very nice! Had one of these Back in late 70's. Wish I never sold it, One of those moving and gotta part with some bulk... Really enjoy the videos, Very informative. Many thanks.

Thanks for nice service video. Really made me think about the recapping. Mine 6300 is working fine but i need to adjust the tonearm damper

i am your fan. I've already get a 6300 turntable. i'd like to give it some "love". thank you!!

great video, also if you want to completely recap this TT there's also some electrolytic capacitors under the black cap under the motor...

I was looking forward to hearing it play at the end:(Thank you for sharing, love your videos!

Thank you soon . Wish to buy this table and showed great way to get it going

Very Beautiful Marantz 6300 Turntable🤗

Very informative video, thanks ! Subscribed... I own on of these 6300 since the late 70's and apart the auto-shutoff's "electronic eye" (still cant find the part), with regular maintenance it as worked flawlessly... Regards, Dan

And I had always thought Marantz meant quality! Your observations about the factory capacitor installation has tainted my opinion. Always learn something from you great videos!

Thanks for the video! I NEED A 6300 PLATTER!!!

Great video! When my 6300 has problems I know where to go :)

Thanks Mark for another "eyes glued to the monitor" video! Poor Saul....another factory error.,,,I think you would have been a good QC! I also think that probably more of these types of defects happened when SuperScope entered into the picture

thanks for sharing experiences

very nice table. gotta throw some watco rejuvenator on that plinth

Very helpful video!

I've seen other people say that because the electrolytic capacitors in a turntable are not exposed to high frequencies that they should be okay after 30+ years. In my experience in fixing turntables I find some of the caps are off or leaky (especially the blue Sanyo caps from the 70's/early 80's). Simply because they have not been exposed to high frequencies over a long period of time does not mean they will be okay today. As shown they will degrade mechanically and start leaking corrosive electrolyte, depending on the age/brand/cap series/use of the unit. The safest solution is to replace the electrolytics if they are the originals and are 30+ years old. The advantage is the new units usually will be smaller at the same or higher voltage and will be better long term due to advances in technology.

I went above and beyond on my Akai AP307 I installed new caps it fixed issues with startup delay and hum didn't lube the motor it's moves freely it turns using pulses instead of constant rotation great quality well built only payed 200$

excellent video ...thank you

Great job...

great work was wondering if you had a list of the replacement parts you used ,IHAVE 2 TO REBUILD would help big time thanks for your time Carlo

Excellent video. May I add a bit of info. please (I've owned this TT for 40 years): please refer to timing 17:40 where the flywheel is removed from the motor for cleaning. The moderator correctly stated that THIS flywheel has no ball bearing at the bottom of the flywheel shaft, but other companies did include one (so don't tip the TT over and lose it). However, this ball bearing/flywheel setup exists on my model 6300. I noticed it 35 years ago when the first lubrication was done, and I heard it rolling around at the bottom of the shaft. In this case, you must tip the TT over with your hand over the shaft hole, catch the ball bearing, and then clean/oil that area. Thank you.

Agreed about the oil. I buy turbine oil for the long spout. At 2 bucks, I go several years. I did use 2 stroke oil on a 1/4 HP motor, it worked great. Capacitors, Yes the years are ticking by. I was a teenager when that came out. I cannot accept your deduction of it being 40 years old. LOL

Great video and appreciate the insight. Do you sell the replacement capacitors?

I watched the entire video just to see you grease the tonearm ...... my 6350q drops like a stone!

Great video! What were the values on the caps you replaced? I'm ready to replace them on two 6300 restorations I'm working on and want to order them as soon as possible. Also, one of the turntables slows down occasionally, Anyone know what that could be?

Awesome Video - I want to clean the pots on my Marantz 6300. Did you remove the tonearm before you turned it upside down?? Thanks!!!

Hi great videos I've been learning a lot from them. I have a quick scenario to run by you I have a technics sl-230 turntable and it has constant unstable speed issues. It has new belt and the user speed adj pots and trim pots have been cleaned with deoxit lots of times and it will play for a day or so then speed will go out of adj again. Can it be a capacitor in the circuit or the motor itself? I can't see why after cleaning the pots really well it still continues to have speed issues. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Great video.. very useful. My service issue is a no longer properly dampened tone arm lift . The up and down buttons trigger an action, but the lifter pops up dramatically and descends the same way. Inside it looks like some sort of solenoid moderates the action. is this were the issue is? If so what is the fix. thanks for any help you can offer. D

any recom on the amp set up for such a timeless classic? :D

Great video - I also have a 6300 with issues . Your video was very informative and easy to follow, I just don’t have the equipment you have to repair and recap. Would gladly pay to have my turntable repaired as it has always been my favorite. Please email me if you would be available. Thanks Rob

Nice video. I was always under the impression you shouldn't use automotive motor oil in electrical equipment because of all the detergents, is that not correct?

Question about capacitor series like UKL, how do you decide what series of capacitors to use for replacing turntable caps?

Is there a difference in use deoxit vs regular contact cleaner bought from a hardware store? I always hear how deoxit is amazing, but is it better then other contact cleaner?? Is it worth paying the extra cash? I have an old denon dp55 turntable and I worried that if one of the caps go could it destroy my turntable? Thanks so much for any help

What effect does not having that capacitor do to the turntable? It appears to have still worked for all that time, so what purpose was it serving?

I have a Marantz 6100 that wont make any sound. soldered new rca jacks on to the speaker wires, pluged into my amp and nothing, no sound. the internal wires all seem to be soldered well still. any suggestions? everything else works fine. just put a new stylus on and now im bummed.

I need a pioneer pl 570 with a bad power supply that need rebuild and a bad tonearm motor and broken plastic gear. Have you worked on such issues?

I am currently recapping a Marantz 6300. One of the wires disconected from the post on the board. I noticed that the bare part of the wire was wrapped around the post about 6 times. Is there a reason for that? Can I just solder the wire directly to the post? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Although my turntables work good I am going to recap them, thanks for the tip.

Hello friend, very good video, do you know where to find the phonomotor of this pick up? Grateful

Can you put a list of the caps used in the description please? Thanks for the great video.

Looking for service center . My 6300 up down function not working. North Florida would be ideal.

Where can I buy those capacitors and models? Have one that I'd like to do the same. :) Thanks

Dear Blueglow commentator: please refer to timing 13:16 on your video, where you point out the two pitch control potentiometers, and then clean them with DeOxit D5. I've done that exact same cleaning on my 6300, and found that the even the tiny blast of DeOxit D5 had washed away the black grease that lubricated the little shafts on the rotary pots. Now, the shafts turn with no resistance or "feel" (no shaft lubricant), but electrically, the pots do work better because they are clean. How do I safely re-lubricate the shafts: use another DeOxit product (lubricant only)? Please advise, thank you!

Hi my name is Tom maybe you can help me out. I have Technics SL-1300 turntable that will power up ( the strobe light comes on but the platter dose not spine like its not getting any power. I have cleaned all of the speed adjusters with Detoxit and still no spinning. I would love to get my TT going again. Thanks for any help

Hi, nice video. I live at Brazil and I have a Marantz TT-6000 and it in the middle of operation, the rpm comes to variate a little bit. Any thought on it? Tks.

Ooops! I guess I should have watched this video BEFORE I got DeoxIT all over that optical sensor that triggers the tone arm lift mechanism in my 6300...I was attempting to fix the "auto lift" feature, which has not worked routinely/reliably for a couple years now.

I have one and need repair.

Hello, I see you repair few Marantz TT and I have a Marantz 6100 and it will skip or jump on the last track of the LP, any thought on it? Thanks,

How much ? I have a Marantz 6350q that I want recapped and serviced

Hello Old Friend

The only reason I don't like to use auto engine oil is that it has additives for cleaning combustion by-products which are not needed in bearing lubrication. I prefer a light sewing machine oil.

👌👌👌💯💯💯😎😎😎

Would love to sell my 1210 for one these babies

You forgot to change the oil filter while she was on the rack.

not me

i use car engine oil

i would recap it oil it clean it

fried rice oil lol yar rip off
