Setting Son
Karma, ne?
My current project is a lovely condition SL-10. Lovely condition under the grime, anyway. First job was an initial service of the linear tracking arm/mechanism. It's working very smooth and quiet after a de-grease / re-grease. I've read that it's also worthwhile replacing the caps on the control pcb so that'll be done soon too (no doubt they are out of spec after 30 years).
The cartridge in use at the moment is a Shure V15 LT; a T4P version of the V15. I may try to track down one of the elusive Technics cartridges as originally supplied with the SL-10.
How does it sound so far? Very good indeed. Far better that it has any right to in fact, considering it is devil spawned for so many audiophile reasons - I like it all the more for that!
Some photos of the arm 'guts' (control pcb removed) prior to servicing here.
