JVC tt-101 repair


Got a JVC QL-10 with a 120V TT-101. Speed is wonky. Sometimes plays fine, sometimes spins a 1000 RPM, somtimes runs forward & then backward. Could use some help.

Hi, my trusted repairer today has given up and in a few days I will return the TT 101 (after 9 months) partly repaired and partly still broken ..... now I have to look for a repairer who knows the TT101 as himself.
@chakster
bring patience, I will receive from the trusted technician my TT101 not completely repaired but I found a couple of repairers in Italy who could try to repair my unhurried, I just have to decide who to choose among the volunteers who agreed to receive my turntable .

if in a few months I could get my turntable full repaired I have no problem leaving the repairer address so that the owners of the TT 101-81 and 71 breakdowns spread around Europe can contact for all the information .

i have two of them here, nobody touched them yet, but one of them is working only if i touch the platter by fingers first.

my turntable has the exact same problem, then after some time he begins to lose laps and slows down to stop
Still would like a 7045 arm, though.


The 7045 is often on sale on ebay, a little less than 5045.
Finally someone dropped a QL-10 for parts


Ahhhhahhh maybe TT101 with defect then you were the one to take it away from me on ebay a few days ago? :(

I had just noticed it but I did not have time to press the "buy it now" button that was sold.

I needed it for spare parts too
 Is there any way to tighten up the rear couterweight shaft. Mine is drooping some.


the decoupling rubber is about to give way and must be replaced.

Watch this...


 Its good to know that these tables can be repaired.

maybe it was true !!! It's not easy at all, they all have the same faults.
But is it possible that the engine of my TT101 is without torque? The plate stops only to rest a finger!

The Technics Sp 10 mk2 is a tank in comparison!


@chakster 

it's not like you say .... my TT101 engine has no torque at the start and not even when it has reached the standard speed ... in short, it never has torque; is enough a fan focused on the platter and stops.

I think that to understand well, each other it will be necessary to publish a video on youtube

Poll: Does yours TT101 runners have zero torque to stop as soon as you put a brush to clean the vinyl running?

I do not think!
@totem395 

many thanks for the explanation, I'm sure mine has very serious problems, but it was necessary to understand from the owner that has a fully functional TT-101.

A good repairer after having spent many hours at TT101 and having solved several problems, he gave up and gave it back to me; now I’m waiting for another good repairman who will do it dedicating a bit of time when he feels like it.

He is informed that he will not be able to ask for a lot of money in case of success because the expense can not exceed the value of the turntable used and he accepted very willingly because this will be a great challenge for him; it is a repairer who is one of the largest and most important reel to reel repairers in Italy.

If it fails then it will be impossible to repair it without dedicating dozens of dozens of hours on it.
anyone else had this problem?

In many we have had very very similar problems.
Someone has solved them, others (like me) are still working.

Look this...

Hi all, help me please.

tthe repairman who took charge of my TT101 found that the problem is with the hall sensors inside the engine that are dead
Who can help me find a pair of these sensors that are also compatible or sell me the engine even if it doesn't work?
Thanks to those who can help me.
@knollbrent 

do you think jp has some left over parts to sell to me or are you just saying this to demoralize me even more because I won’t be able to get them? :(



I’m looking for some motor hall sensors ..... they’re those little 4 foot parts that look like bugs.....I only need a couple and then my problems will be over after 5 years.
Help me.
