    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.

    I don't do DD turntables unfortunately. I regard them as intrinsically beyond economic repair. If they start changing hands for £1k + then I'll start taking them on! (oh and if there's a rare one that does go for £1K+ please don't bother anyone.... I'm talking about a generic up market DD TT). Someday I'll get round to repairing my own Technics SL-150 MkII... I've only been putting it off for going on 20 years! I even know exactly what's wrong with it, having spent some time on it 20 years ago. It needs a replacement IC which may or may not be unobtainable by now...

    Just to clarify, my friend that I have recommended to Dikky, who Jamie also used for both his Sony and Pioneer, doesn't do 'big bills' as he does it because he enjoys it, and for the challenge.

    Someone else also asked me how much he would charge if he couldn't fix their deck. I had to be honest and reply that I did not know becuase, in the ten or so years that I've know him, there is genuinely nothing I know of that he hasn't been able to repair!

    Adam, I wasn't suggesting your friend was going to charge excessive I was warning that a repair could become costly. No offence intended.

    None taken, I assure you! I just wanted to make sure no-one was put off contacting him through fear of potential costs!

    Absolutely! If he can fix these beauties he's worth whatever he charges.

    Shame I haven't still got my PS-70. It needed fixing. Has RMutt contacted him ?
