I had an SR838 that would not maintain speed. The strobe disk used for speed control had warped. The warp caused a severe speed irregularity every revolution. The warp could not be eliminated. It was not possible to fix because a replacement strobe disk was not available.
Opinions on Pioneer and Sansui turntables please
I found a Pioneer PL-500 turntable for sale, locally, for $120. It's with Walco ES-30EX MM cartridge and apparently in good shape.
Is it a good buy? Anyone is using or used this turntable? The "runner-up" is a Sansui SR838 for $180, also local. It is supposedly much better TT but it cannot maintain speed so it should be fixed. Anyone has experience with fixing Sansuis?
Thanks
