| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Using a stethescope (is that sick or what?) I can hear a hum that sounds like the transformer to me: it only sounds when the power is on whether or not the platter is spinning. It makes me think about pulling the power supply out of the tt and mov... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Another thing: I decided to check out the motor bearing on my own. There is a large screw at the bottom of the motor (visible by dropping the sheet metal cover on the bottom. It is sealed with some kind of hardened clay like material. I carefully ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I have my TT101 back and running once again. The tech changed out 8 capacitors, and I saw that the old ones were quite leaky. I dodged a bullet on that one. Cost was $150 including labor, parts, and tax. I am going to have the TT81 done as well.I ... | |

How are you dressing the platter?Also, I am considering an outer ring, but am worried about how the extra weight will effect the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? An update on the recapping of my TT-101. I just spoke with the tech and he says that he will only be changing out the caps in the power supply section, not all of the small ones on the regulation boards. His take is that the large ones should be c... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Speaking of my TT101 and TT81: I use aurios and still points in combination (creating three feet - two in back and one in front) to support the plinth, I also have a squash ball under the sheet metal motor cover - that ball is absolutely required ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I too have a JVC TT101 and a JVC TT81. I really enjoy these tables, they are both mounted in identical original plinths. At this moment my TT101 is out for recapping and contact cleaning at a local (Brooklyn, NY) pro audio repair shop - RepairNY.c... |
