Comment on Turntables 101 – part 1 by Julian

I have a turntable that is automatic, or semi-automatic, but I want to disable the automatic functions because some lever keeps moving that stops the record from playing. I figure if i make it manual, I can solve this problem, but I can’t really figure out which mechanism I should disengage, or how. Does any one know what I can do? Please! My life is musicless.

I have an old collection of records (33, 45, and 78s) that I need to ship to my home. I know that the largest flat rate box from the postal service is 12×10x5, can these be used to ship the LPs. I have them all in storage and can’t test it out. Thanks for any help in this matter.

I have a Technics SL-235 turntable with a pitch control problem on speed 33. I can’t get the pitch control knob it to accurately adjust the speed anymore. The slightest touch either way makes it go to fast or slow. I have replaced the belt and lubricated the turntable. Any suggestion how to clean, repair or replace the pitch control?

Thanks

Jim

The idea of STACKING LPs horizontally is B S,not only will they warp,ifnot aligned perfectly…BUT what happens when you want to play an ELLINGTON disc…and it’s sitting with 50 records on top of it….OH YES, and horizontal stacking breaks your back looking for the title on the spine.What foolishness…..STACK VERTICAL,AND NO LEANING!

To all:
The last “question comments” that appeared on the blog I’ve answered mostly by e-mailing their authors. So yeah I’m still alive and ticking although it may not have been visible.

Jason:
I don’t think so. As a matter of fact, the only device that I know of, being produced and having the capability of automatically flipping records are those old, classic jukeboxes :)

If you’d like such a convenience (to some extent, of course) at your home with a turntable, you’d either have to get yourself a vertical turntable that can play both sides, I believe that Sharp made those (look for the VZ series).

Another option would be to get yourself a record changer. That won’t flip your records, but it will play one side of each record stacked on it (the amount of how many records you can put on a stacking spindle varies from model to model, but I know there are some that can stack up to 6 records).

I hope this advice will help you Jason.

Do they still make turntables that “flip” the record over for you? I can’t seem to find anything…. Thanks!

I agree with Andrew. I store my records horizontally and I never had any problem.
