what changes does Krebs make for 2500 frusciant bucks?
Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables?
I have a Technics SL1000 MK3 in beautiful condition and in it's lifetime has seen very little use.
I am ready to send it off for complete electronics restoration/upgrade, upgrade the speed control processor module and have the Krebs mods done. Will cost about $2500.00 to have all this done.
I was wondering how this would compare to what is out there for modern turntables after all the work is done?
Or, would I be better off selling it, and adding what I was going to spend for the upgrades to a new turntable?
I believe these should sell in untouched condition for at least $5K? So that would put me in the $7.5K range for a modern table?
For tonearms, I already have:
New, unmounted Moerch DP8
Fidelity Research FR64S, in beautiful condition that I sent off to Ikeda/Japan and they re-wired (better silver wiring, I still have original wires) and completely tore it down and rebuilt/re-lubed.... it's just like a new FR64S.
I think this table would be hard to beat at the $7500.00 price point, but would appreciate others opinion.

What did you use for polishing ?I think we had already discussed it in the past; a simple copper cleaner Before https://i.postimg.cc/VNrkfbsd/Prima-1.jpg |
motor hall sensor has been replacedthis is what interests me; over time I bought motors with the soldered pcb of other turntables by taking the sensors and even after several replacements of all 3 sensors my TT 101 is still not able to work; I don't like buying used sensors that force me to also take the engine just to extract what I need and check that my TT 101 is working; now I'm stocking up too much of engines that I don't need and I'm tired, plus the pcb where the sensors for the 101's engine are housed begins to compromise too much after several replacements. Do you know which engine and turntable model the sensor was extracted from to run your 101? |
