Stay tuned for part four: setting the weight of the stylus!

Presenting part two of servicing a client’s Pioneer Automatic Return Model PL-516 turntable: Calibrating the speed and checking mechanisms.

I always calibrate the speed of turntables during servicing to ensure records spin at the correct rpm. If the speed is too fast or slow it will distort the sound and change your listening experience. Exact speed calibration also helps protect your records as it lessens unnecessary friction between the stylus and the record.

Next I check any other mechanisms which can change depending on the turntable. The automatic return on this turntable is very neat!

Stay tuned for part three!

Presenting part one of servicing a client’s Pioneer Automatic Return Model PL-516 turntable: Dismantling!

Have you always wondered what happens during a standard turntable service? Wonder no more! I am starting a new series showing different parts of a standard service.

Dismantling is primarily the first step. I always need to get a good look inside a turntable's inner workings to ensure all the mechanisms are frictionless, and aligned correctly. Stay tuned for part two!

This stylus kept me a very busy bee! Stylus are not the only things I clean and service but they are one of the more delicate parts of the process. Thus, I take my time when cleaning them!

Sometimes home cleaning, with a stylus brush or gel cleaner, is not enough.
In the clip, I am cleaning a client’s stylus with an ultrasonic cleaner and special cleaning solution to get rid of stubborn built up grim.
