problem with turntable

sully · #1 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 05

one of my tech 1200z is acting weird... the platter on it doesn't want to move!! i took the platter off and all looks normal except the the thing that makes the the platter move in the center of the turntable is stiff and doesn't move at all as well....i think it might need oil or somethin!! not sure though...
anyone know or have some info??

wikkid thanks!

Caig Cailube MCL 100% Droplets

"This is only lubricant endorsed by Rane. Used by big wig corporates like Boeing, Dolby, Honeywell, McIntosh. This is the legit synthetic solution used for moving surfaces and mechanims (faders, switches etc.). This 100% concentration droplet solution is recommended for re-lubrication after a full cleaning (which can be done with the Caig 5% spray or a light alcohol solution). These droplets give a smoother slide than the popular gun oil droplets and creates a bonding layer of wear-reducing, heat-resistant lubricant. To put it simply put this shit on your faders after you clean it and your faders will be smoother than when you first opened it."

Take it to the old man in North Van.........Its this old German guy who's like 80 years old and has made his entire living off fixing Technics turntables.......he will have em running like new in no time......I don't have his number but its called Peterson Audio Services and he runs the business out of his basement. Try it out.

the thing about wd40 is the smell

I remember when I used to play trombone with a jazz ensemble....I was all out of slide cream so my stepdad sprayed my trombone slide with WD40 before a show.....the entire concert hall stunk like it. Everyone was like "wtf is up with that smell?!" and I was too embarassed to admit it was my instrument...lol never again.
