About Me And My Turntables

Specializing in repair and sales of vintage Technics Turntables

If you have a Technics table that needs  repair or are looking to purchase a vintage table, I would be more than happy to assist you or answer any of your questions. I have sold over 350 Technics turntables over the last three plus years and know my product well.

My inventory is ever expanding and I specialize in direct drive units from the late "70's to early "80's

My inventory changes weekly and I'm always getting new units in. I work and sell out of my house but am available from mid afternoon on most days of the week and usually all day weekends.

I replace any old lube with white lithium grease, clean all speed pots with CRC QD contact cleaner, lube the main motor bearings, and address any other issues that a particular table may have.  All of my tables are 100% operational and I give you a choice of the cartridges I have available.  I stand behind my product and want you to feel comfortable with your purchase.

Female RCA Connections

I've started to install female RCA connections on the back of select tables (entire inventory eventually) in order to reduce the risk of the male RCA connections failing. This is a somewhat rare occurrence but these cables are 40 plus years old and it does happen. You can now use the RCA cables of your choice or use the pair that I includ

I've started to install female RCA connections on the back of select tables (entire inventory eventually) in order to reduce the risk of the male RCA connections failing. This is a somewhat rare occurrence but these cables are 40 plus years old and it does happen. You can now use the RCA cables of your choice or use the pair that I include with the table. I do retain the factory wire cinch for the ground wire which is very helpful. I did some research and found that self grounding these tables does not add any sonic benefit so I left the ground wire as originally installed.  

Why Choose Technics

Decisions, Decisions

Technics Invented Direct Drive

Technics Invented Direct Drive

You have a lot of options to choose from when deciding what brand and type of turntable you want to purchase. So why Technics? My main reason is two fold. Sound quality and reliability. You can purchase a turntable from many locations. I feel you should choose me because I sell a quality product and will continue to assist you after the sale.

Technics Invented Direct Drive

Technics Invented Direct Drive

Shuichi Obata (engineer for Panasonic) invented direct drive tables back in 1969. In a direct drive table the motor is located directly under the center of the platter and is connected to the platter directly. It is a significant advancement over older belt driven tables

Sound Specifications

Sound Specifications

The higher the rumble number for a turntable the better the sound quality. For wow & flutter it's the opposite, the lower the number the better. By reviewing my Technics Table Production header you can see that the direct drive units have excellent specs.

Longevity

Thourough Restoration Process

Sound Specifications

This may be more of an opinion, but I chose to sell and repair Technics tables because I feel strongly that the build quality is better than other brands I have encountered. 

Thourough Restoration Process

Thourough Restoration Process

I do dislike the word "restoration", it means to different individuals. Some people slap a belt on and say a table is restored. The minimum  I do, is thoroughly clean all switches and potentiometers with Deox, remove any old grease and replace with fresh lube, set up the tonearm for proper functionality (oil the bearings), and of course check for full functionality.

Thorough Detailing

All of my inventory goes through a thorough cleaning process. I buff and polish all my dustcovers and attempt to remove all imperfections and scratches.
