Don't suppose you want to take a guess as to the guage for the wrap tool...22awg?

Thanks Mike :)

Thanks Mike, I forgot you said swap them round. Is one of those binding posts blind? So the output from one set of windings goes into the rectification stage e.g. the red wire, the other is an open circuit e.g. the violet wire?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/X46n9wCaGvYkggV27 Hi, sorry for the delay but I had a look inside my 338ESD and it not clear how to convert the operating voltage of this one. Any ideas? Thank

Thanks for the help, I won't get round to opening the case until next week so I'll try and post pictures then.

Thanks Mike, I need to have a look inside and see if this makes sense. would you unwrap the existing wire and move it, or would I need to replace the wire to connect to the new post?

I saw here https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/voltage-clarification-220-volt-into-a-240-volt-supply.228501/ that I should check any 220V equipment has been changed to 240V. Any idea how I do this on my Sony CDP338ESD? If you know, do you have pictures...:D Thanks

I am listening to mine through its own headphone socket as I work. Really enjoyable :-)

Fixed! Even braver :)

I though the OP had gone Single Speed on his mountain bike, lost all those derailleurs and cassettes, brave move.

Thank you for all your help. After a slightly tighter belt and some moving around of a few washers I managed to get free movement of the mechanism. So it is working properly again. Unfortunately its shelf has been usurped by the new arrival of a Sony CD 338ESD. A nice problem to have :)

Ah great, thank you for the input. I'll have adjust the volume between sources then.

I realise that cartridges require a frequency shift and have a lower output level than other sources but should the other inputs on an amp be the same, Tuner, cd, tape monitor etc? I was wondering if the sound level difference between the CD and DAC outputs was due to different output levels...

Yes, I can take the motor, screw gear and column out as a unit, as they are all mounted on a folded steel plate. When I tried to rotate the gears they felt tight to me however both ran freely when the other was removed. I replaced the motor and drive belt when I first started to investigate the...

So the motor is getting a steady 5.9V, the motor pulley is slipping under the drive belt and I am wondering if the new belt I got is just a bit loose. I'll source a slightly smaller one and see if that makes a difference. I'll report back in case anyone might be interested ;)
