So far, I have not come across any Pioneer equipment that was not good. I have a few of their amps, a tuner, cassette decks and a PL12D

Well new belt arrived put on run up then a "Puff" of the magic smoke so its no longer wanted here guessing the many years sat in a loft did not help its gone to pioneer heaven....

You cant win them all sad.....Lovely thing...

Oh dear Dan :rolleyes:
I have a PL A35 , which is similar to some extent , same arm ,plinth , but much better anti skate on your arm . Its nice but could never get rid of a hum in it !!
How many amps and decks etc , come out of 'dry' lofts . Dryish but unheated also !

Hi Anto

No not good my old mate shame was in excellent visual condition - but the thing is people store HI-FI for years and years not thinking what affect it can have when an enthusiast buys them then try to get them going and fails - the guy wasn't to keen on me calling him to say it was dead. During the nearly 12 years of doing this this is the only one that has done this to be honest. i unplugged it and took it straight outside scared me too on thinking it was possibly a cap blowing or something but the arm and plinths go for £60 and £30 respectively so stripped it down and kept a few parts.... :)

did you not fancy getting it repaired then?

Fair point my old mate - but the ones in the repair trade down here have long since retired which is a shame.....used ICP electronics for years in poole but he's not contactable now you live and learn mate...

Dan, that's a hell of a shame. The deck is a pretty simple one and the only components are a transformer, the synchronous motor and one capacitor. I'd put money on it that it was the cap that died, so probably a 20 minute repair and about £1 for parts!
