Technics SL-10 Intermittent cueing problem
Sorry to hear that. The deck has Two belts which are used to move the tonearm on the rods via an offset gear mechanism. Aside from checking the cover/lid switch (which can wear down and/or get gunk'd up) they should have cleaned and re-greased the gear mechanism as well as cleaned and re-lubed the Two rods that the tonearm slides on (new proper belts as well). A dry Teflon based lubricant is used on the rods. There are a few other adjustments (like tonearm start position) which take but a minute or Two. As you can see from the above linked video it should be fairly quick/simple work. DeKay |
Here's a repair video that that shows/explains how the deck functions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f86WA63vEVs Didn't watch the whole vid to see if he mentions the switch activated/deactivated by lowering/raising the lid, but that's another thing that can cause what you are experiencing. DeKay |
