Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf


I recently acquired a wonderful turntable, the Micro Seiki RX-5000. I found there is scant information available on the Internet about this vintage 'table, and when I encountered some noise issues with my RY-5500 motor unit and discovered how to fix it, I thought it would be beneficial make a set of instructions freely available. Go to the following URL and click on the page icon to view and download these instructions. Enjoy!

Hello all, I am beginning to set up my RX/RY3000. Have a wall shelf (1.5m x .6m) and am debating whether to isolate the whole set up with one unit (eg a vibraplane or similar) OR isolate the motor and the platter base separately (eg by use footers etc. like Raul was suggesting). I was leaning towards the former but see in this thread and others that some people are using the latter OR are they doing both!

The feet on the motor base are solid solid brass pins and seem to me to have no isolating properties at all. Has anybodyt replaced theirs or do they resort to the above isolation measures.
