Hi, thanks for the video. Small question please, I`m looking for help. By my 1410MKII, the on/off button no longer comes up and stays down. Is this a known problem? Can it be repaired? Thanks

During my search for a tape echo, the Dynacord Super 76 was my main focus, but the WEM Copycat also piqued my interest. I did a lot of research and was excited to try it out, but every seller I contacted warned it was too fragile to ship. It was a big letdown because I had high hopes for this piece of gear. Even though I missed out on it, the Copycat is still on my wishlist, and I’m curious about other products from this brand. I love reviewing vintage equipment, so I hope to get the chance to try it eventually

Got one of these , Keep meaning to have It restored

For those who have this turntable and have come here because of the same problem I'm going to add something helpful that the uploader here either didn't know or forgot to add - The plastic plinth on this turntable shrinks a bit over time and one of the inner posts gets in the way of the linear transfer mechanism and will cause it to jam just as you seen here when he first powered it on, you can remove this plastic post or file it down so that it will no longer contact the carriage and it will run fine. But note those with higher end systems will notice a low frequency thump when the carriage moves. This is caused by the motor torque as it moves the carriage. These turntables had this problem right off the assembly line and were designed for their lower end stackables where it wasn't as obvious but playing on a high end amplifier with lots of bass you will hear a thump around every 6 to 8 seconds. Lubrication will not help as it's a design flaw.

Thanks Nick!

that sink works for an isolation base for clearer signal...I have the simpler version ...RP-4705...It is awesome

Holy Shit! You still had a working REVOX G-36, 10 years ago? That's amazing! That machine never got used. Those transport control interlocking pushbuttons. They all fail! Mine failed. My G-36 was given to me by my Mentor. He told me those transport pushbuttons would fail. And a few years later. No matter how gentle I was with them. They failed. Just like he said they would. So I'm completely amazed to see a working, REVOX G-36, vacuum tube/valve tape recorder that was still functioning. I'm sure it's not today. I'm sure it's in a landfill now. My had to go to a landfill. About 52 years ago. When those transport control buttons, failed. I thought I could fix them? But no. My mentor was right. He was real good. He was kind of famous. He was so good. He used to work for Bell Laboratories. He used to work for Johns Hopkins University. He was a top engineer. He had some really nice tape recorders. AMPEX, Presto, REVOX,, back in the day. In the late 1960s. When there wasn't anything else. Available in the USA. I would later get all of those myself. And Scully. And 3M. And MCI. Never a student. I had to work on those elsewhere. I didn't want one. They were finicky. You needed to be a Swiss watch repairperson. To work on those. But those REVOX machines. Were great! Never a lick of trouble. Workhorses. That's what they are. RemyRAD

Hi thanks for your video I’ve managed to fix that broken part but I’m having problems with the damping. Where did you get that supper heavy grease. Regards Paul

Thanks for the informative video. May I respectfully suggest you get yourself a tripod so you have both hands free? I felt uncomfortable each time something dropped!

So sorry to hear that Nick has passed away. I have taken apart my SL-10 and found that the little rubber drive belt on the left side has disintegrated. Does anyone know of the availability of a replacement? RIP Nick.

This was a great video. My 15 year old has just inherited her great aunts black box with garrard 210. It's slowly loosening up and the crackling is fading. Your video helped her work out the auto mode and stacking, although currently it stops at the end of each single and you have to turn the turntable by hand to advance the cycle, we think it might work itself loose, but may have to take apart and clean. It could do with a professional refurbishment, but funds are limited. It came with about 300 sixties singles, so she enjoying working her way through those. Thanks again, truly very useful and appreciated

Hi Good day! I have a Garrard AT6 this is a 220V AC?

More power to you for multi-tasking this project, but there's no way I could strip down all of that at the same time.

Meanwhile today i have a battery thats 6s, has 6ah of capacity and has a 150c rating with a burst c rating of 300c, thats 900 amps continuous. And because its lihv, it can charge to 26.1v 😂

I use my Vinyl Flat + an external digital thermometer with a probe and my new LG electric oven with great success 👍🏻

Just picked up one that was in a Emud 713 US import console radio. Both radio and record player have very little signs of use or wear, a great find! Looking forward to working on this gem!

What is the right type of fuse?

Hi Nick, great video thanks, luckily my 7100 is working well. My 5100 on the other hand has a rotation issue and will only spin if I toggle the speed selector fast, if I leave it set on either speed the platter stops. I assume a clean of the switch and possibly pots will be required but that will have to wait a while. I cannot find a service manual or schematic for the 5100 anywhere, even on vinylengine - I would appreciate any help finding one. Keep up the interesting videos.

Hi i'have minipro dyno is possible help me for setting voltage and value parameter for best motor? Thanks

Fantastic help that was. I bought a sensored motor that was in bad shape, bad enough that i got a full refund & got to keep the motor. The rotor looked like it was stored in maximum humidity somewhere near the equator in thr tropics for a decade unprotected! Not being able to have something sitting around that may be able to be fixed I started to work on it, I found I had a Rotor from the "motor-death-box of spare parts" that was spot on the same. Next I found the sensor test showed the sensors numbers were EXTREMELY far apart. Remembering your videos i did a quick Google search KNOWING you would have a video to help. And help you did! Now the sensors are great and the motor actually runs very well! Its a 13.5t sensored and its now powering a 1/10 rally car and giving anyone that drives it a big smile on their face. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, taking time to make these videos and sharing them with us all !

Nice bit of Robin Trower snook in there 👍🏼

Thank you Nick and Rest in Power, may your videos live on and keep on helping folks for years if decades to come

90% of videos on KZfaq and advice from family and friends, have informed me not to put a warped vinyl record into a heated oven, pressed between two sheets of glass, BUT to rather to place the record with its inner sleeve wrapped in a new bin bag, sandwiched in between two heavy pieces of granite, with another heavy object on the top for more added weight and let gravity do its bit. Heat is by far, the worst solution for a warped record, due to the grooves containing the music, the signal and the quality of the recording, to get damaged !

Just wanted to say thank you Nick - your excellent video has helped me to save another LT-5V :-) All 5 lamps had gone !! EDIT just read about Nick's passing. RIP Nick, thank you for the excellent videos you made, they've been a great help.

Nick just bought one of these and wanted to put in the capacitor you mention. Can you tell me what capacitor you used and where on the circuit board you put it in? thanks for the great video

Hi please is possible help me? I have minipro dyno softweare 4.4 and 1.93 but i have problem with set up voltage. The voltage of battery is 8.40. But on the application in the pc is 9.20!! Is possible change this parameter?? Thanks for help me thanks

Hi looks like the photo won’t upload sorry.

Hi I’ve just bought a Murphy majorette, looks inside very similar to what your maintaining, so I’ve checked most of what you recommend. I’m afraid to go far as I’ll probably break something ! Thanks for the great detailed descriptions I’ve tried to add a photo to ask which type of connector I’ll need to use the EXT speaker socket.

Schematics are available on Ampeg's website as of 5/24 for all versions of the J12's and others.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Very useful.

correct if wrong, but could you not just hold the head degausser in place where you held that magnet and it would do the same thing? that way you would get the proper AC magnetic field required to erase the tapes and there would be no leftover magnetism on anything ? thank you

These were beautiful decks. Sound comparisons vs. some others kinda favored some others but the aesthetics of the Mitzi sold quite a few in my local market.

Thank you very much for that. I was a bit afraid of starting a hard cleaning of mine (Dust, spiders...). I can go now.

Why are you using level, not phase, to set azimuth

Wow ! Sounds fantastic . Apparently Goodmans 8" fullrange drivers in there too

still regret selling my WEM

Where I can find that draw used to align the cart?

having a 635d back on line after 12 years guess what i have to do.....no record both channels....i know this is 7 years old this 636 needs them replaced too the sick 458s

Flysky BD 250 discharger

Thank you Nick, I fixed my 308 DOU successfully with you video, guidance and advice.

R.I.P NICK

I just found this video. My goodness, I'd love to have one of these for recording- are they ever for sale? I'd pay well for one..That tone is wonderful.

you're fortunate the crystal cartridge still works, they usually absorb moisture and fail by now.

My dad has that picture disc, and somehow took me wayy to long to realize it's a picture disc and not a vinyl. I'm kinda interested if it still works (considering it's been hung in my garage for a while).

Have you ever repaired any of the X series devices? I have an X12 that no longer powers up, and getting ready to open it up and stare confusingly at it! haha

beautiful piece and nice job restoring!

Thanks for this. My SP-PS70 was skipping on the later tracks, 14 and beyond. Instead of a donor laser unit, I followed your video and took the cover off, and cleaned the slider that the laser moves along with a dry cotton bud. Checked it was sliding freely by tilting the player body and it looked fine. Put back together and now playing perfectly. 5 minute fix. Much appreciated.

Wish I still had my old copycat 🙁

Bullshit no 2000 pound calibration machine... that's why they end up in the skip
