Goldmund T3F Tonearm Schematics


Sending out an SOS for schematics for the Goldmund T3F tonearm. Mine has electronic issues and is stuck in a controller subroutine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Good luck with the arms and the docs. Kind of you to answer my tonearm distress call.

Based on my impression that the T3F was a fancy version of the Rabco SL8E, I would have assumed there is not much circuitry involved.  Isn't it just a tiny motor that drives the pivot end of the arm wand in response to the opening and closing of a tiny switch due to physical contacts that open and close as the wand describes tiny arcs across the LP surface? (Apologies for abusing the adjective "tiny".)  I guess there is more going on that cues the arm wand electronically, at the beginning or end of play.  If all else fails, an SL8E schematic or operational diagram would help a lot.  Does Goldmund still have representation wherever you are?

My tech says without a service manual my T3F is unfixable. IT has a glitch in its electronic control unit. But thanks for your info.

Penso, Meaning no disrespect to your tech, but sometimes a tech will say a device is "unfixable" when what they really mean is "I can't fix it".  But for sure not having a schematic does complicate matters greatly.
