Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

Hi
The arm is not tracking properly, and does not always work on auto, also the optical system is kaput. I bought it in the early 80's, as it was idiot proof if you wanted music on return from the pub.
I guess it needs a thorough service, and probably also a new cartridge, it's currently got an ortofon vms20e.
Regard,
Richard

Apparently there is chap called Beobloke on this site who may be able to help, I have tried to leave a message.
Beobloke knows a guy who repaired his PS-X9 which is a complex beast too. The PS-X65/X70 are all very similar in terms of electronics and a guy on here tried to get the PS-X70 fixed to no avail. Jamie123 knows a guy who worked on his Pioneer but be prepared for a large bill and no guarantee of repair. Fantastic TTs though.
PS. if the magnetic strip on the underside of the platter is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
If you have the Schematics, Firebottle loves a challenge. Jez Arkless is useful with a soldering iron too though he's busy creating a phonostage of potential epic proportions ATM.

adam and me use the same guy lol.
i dont know if it helps but the last time i saw him i gave him all the electrics from a sony ps60 tt.
post a picture of your turntable.
My System
John Wood KT88 Amp.
Paradise Phono Stage
Sony TTS-8000 Turntable.
PMAT-1010 MK6 Tonearm.
Ortofon Cadenza Bronze
Sony X555ES Cd Player
Yamaha NS1000m Speakers
It's similar Jamie, they all used very similar boards etc. Great TTs. I can say, I don't think I ever really got over selling mine. It only had a AT95E on it but it was fantastic. Well worth hunting down a repairer.

There are service as well as user manuals at vinyl engine.
https://www.vinylengine.com/library/sony/ps-x65.shtml
The automatic operation requires the light (next to the platter at the 1 o'clock position) to be functioning, the mat to be located properly so the holes are aligned and the shutter which moves with the arm to be set correctly and functioning.
I think you will need to clarify what causes you to believe the arm is not tracking correctly.
I have a PS-X600 which uses the same optical mechanism.
