Goldmund Studietto repairs

@ptss 

The early Goldmund Studio/Studietto used a Papst motor.

The later Studio/Studietto uses a JVC DD motor.

The tonearm is a dog - you would be better off replacing it with a pivoted arm - much less hassle.

Was in the trade 30 years ago. The JVC motor is more reliable - same motor as used in the JVC QLA75 tt. you can find service manuals for that TT and/or use a JVC QLA75 as a donor.

If the Papst motor goes I think you can retrofit the JVC motor but if I recall correctly a bit of landscaping is required for it to fit.

The TT is definitely worth repairing if possible - I actually preferred the Studietto to the Studio in some ways.

The Studietto with something like an Audiomods tonearm ( not too expensive, but punches well above its weight ) would actually be quite a good TT.

If the motor is going, all you need to do is service it. Clean and lube the bearing.
