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.

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...
