Help with turntable servicing/repairs in London and Sarf East?

[Bigman80]

So following on from some reading i managed to test the circuit between the headshell leads and the RCA plugs. All good. So that points to the cartridge being suspect. In terms of testing that, any reason why i can't swap over the left and right headshell leads to the cartridge to see if the drop out switches sides? Or Is it safe to test the cartidge using the multimeter?

Cheers

Hi,

Well at least you know that the headshell to RCA connection is good. It will possibly be either the amp or cartridge.

Have you got a spare cart ?

Have swapped the RCA plugs over in the amp and the drop out changes sides so I guess that rules out the amp? Did have a budget AT91 but broke the cantilver putting it in a box , so no unfortunately. I have been thinking of trying another cart so maybe my hand is forced and the time has come!

If it swaps over channels on the amp then it looks like you may be in need of a new cartridge.

Anyone local got one you can try ? Just to be sure before you splash out ?

Sadly not. All of my London based compadres are digital loving folks. Might get a cheap back up AT95 or something similar to see if it is indeed the cartridge. Then maybe something nice will come up on Private Exhibitions. Thanks Oliver.

Hi,

I have an (old but OK) AT-91 I would be glad to lend you so at least you could rule out the Cartridge. I don't use it any more and keep it just for such occasions should I need to check anything out.

PM me your address and I'll post it off as soon as I get the chance.

Jim.

Like you suggested, switch the tags on your cartridge and see if the problem switches sides

Switch (white with red) and (green with blue)

If the problem switches sides then you know for sure that it is time to buy a new cart.
