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!

Dear Kip: I use Audio Technica AT-666 pneumatic footers: four in the main unit on the MS each footer and three in the PS. Works great.

A proper isolation is a must to achieve the " best " on the RX 5000.

Btw, tremendous/great job you made with those lovely Apogees, congratulations!

Regards and enjy the music.

Dear Steve: Yes you are right. The Rx 5000 has no isolation and we need to take care about.

I never hear a MS 5000 on a spring isolation system but there is no reason why does not works fine.
Till today I don't know the perfect TT isolation because this subject has many interactions overall and some isolation systems are very good in some " areas " and other systems in other areas.

Yes, I know that certainly there are better isolation ways than the AT-616 but these ones works for me and I never have the opportunity to test a different one in my system.

Regards and enjoy the music.
