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 started restoring Technics turntables in 2006, and have sold over 1000 units to date.

New Capacitors For Speed Control

I have replaced all of the electrolytic capacitors in each table with fresh quality components. When possible I use film caps to replace any of the lower uf stock caps. Film caps have higher tolerances and are self healing. Newer cap technology is a win. All of the speed and speed selector switches and potentiometers are deoxed with Dn5. Both of these processes lead to excellent speed control.

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.

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

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

Technics Invented Direct Drive

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

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. 

Restoration Process

Restoration Process

I dislike the word "restoration" because it means different things 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 lubricant, replace all of the electrolytic capacitors, set up the tonearm for proper functionality (oil the bearings), polish both RCA ends as well as the tonearm to headshell contacts, tighten the dustcover hinges, 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.
