Looking for a tech for my technics SP10

[russell66]

Hey Guys 

 

I'm looking for some help finding someone to repair my Technics SP10 turntable.

 

We seem to have limited options in Perth. I have tried a few people, i seem to either get - Yes thats an open cheque book please - Yes i can do it, then excuses, price hikes and no action, Or yes I can but i don't want to (my interpretation, no thats too hard for me but I don't want to say that).

 

Either way I have had no luck. 

 

I would post over east if I thought I could get it repaired.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I guess that it could be getting onto 40 years old, it most probably could do with replacing the capacitors inside the turntable and power supply.

 

Did anyone look at it and give you an idea what might be wrong with it?

 

I hear Jason Boyd is a great person to get a turntable repaired with. http://turntable-doctor.com/Turntable_Doctor.html

I had Jason service my SP10. I had speed issues. He did a brilliant job. Very happy. Its hasn't missed a beat since. Highly recomend him.

Russ ...Liquid Audio in Carine Perth might be your only hope, though he charges at professional rates (not cheap)? Also, I have had no experience with his work so not necessarily recommending him, the website and words therein look good.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve.

Russ, 

 

i gather from this thread you tried Jason at turntable table? Do you have any better luck with liquid or anybody else. 

 

There is a guy in Koondoola or Balga - also doing repairs , name escapes me at the moment, but I think the business is rfwaves or similar, I think he also makes and sells solid states and valves on Perth gumtree.

Duc at golden age audio in Melbourne @lovetube did my SP10

Thumbs up here for Jason (Turntable Doctor) and Mike at Liquid Audio.

You need to keep in mind that some work usually needs to be carried out before all issues are diagnosed successfully. These guys are trained professionals, its not a hobby for them, it's their livelihood.

 

You have a good table, it deserves a good tech.

What does it need? PSUs were the biggest problem here so I'd get that checked first, and they are very simple.The motor controllers are not though.

Mark will be able to tell you who to use in Perth.

Thanks folks, think i have been round the regular people. Not sure if i tried Golden Age so I'll give em a call.

Thinking of selling as is. In fact I put one up on ebay already, but I think I want too much for it. I'll check with Mark as well. I know he has some but not sure if he has ever got them repaired.

Definitely try Duc @lovetube. He is in Melbourne but couriers go everywhere. When he sent mine back, it took me about 10 mins just to unpack it! Also ask him to respray it for you, mine looks the biz. Will get around to posting some images once I have his Univector arm and cartridge on it. Here's a teaser...
