JVC tt-101 repair
I've seen several nice 801's show up, but none of them had healthy platter mats.  The vacuum doesn't work without the original mat.

I’ve an L-07D, PS-X9, TX-1000, and a couple MK3 in front of it.

Nah, won't cause damage.  A lot of techs will reflow and add a bit of solder and it's usually not an issue, or it lasts long enough it doesn't matter.  This is one unit where every factor is against you, so the chance of joint failures is high.  I...

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Hi Halcro, I don't know the the patent applies due to the date as pointed out.  Appears to be interesting reading that I hope to get to at some point. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Halcro, do you have the patent number?  The TT-101 service manual describes the bi-directional servo as the differences between a simple F/V servo which has to coast to slow down, and a PLL which is bi-directional in this sense, and is something e...

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
@rauliruegas, I have done refurbish work, though I do not market vintage units. Aside from talking about my personal preferences, my public thoughts on vintage gear pertain to facts only.
