Video

Great video! I have a quick question for you... Where did you order your belt kit from?

Same kind as mine its silver combo dvd player/video cassette recorder i have the original box and remote control.

Is there something else you can use to clean the contact? As much as that stuff cost, might as well buy a new Blu-ray player.

That new one looks great. Well done. They are a nice size.

Thanks! I just scored a pair of Baby Advent II's at the recycle dump. They need new surrounds and your video helps.

Where can I buy the oil?

I tend to use the same thread to. While Fluke plastic is sturdy, I certainly do that for other repairs Walkman, radios,...

Looks like I know the details of your head better than the Dual turntable 😅 Thanks for the tutorial on relub and tonearm setup. I'll do it on mine soon. I suspect mine is pretty much jammed because of sticky grease, but I've got casing and plastic lid in ery good condition. BTW what's the speed measurement app please ?

A tiny dab of metal polish on the contacts and gently buffed with a swab will make them look new. Then IPA and then D100 to prevent future corrosion. Congratulations on your farm of Fluke meters. 1 more and you can set idle current on 2 amps at once.

You should sell it to me!!!!

That song is really good, would it be possible to get a download of it? That’s something I’d love to listen to in my pass time, your brother was very talented!

Do you know if these are the same IMG woofers featured in the SS Sterling series? I bought a used pair and refoamed them. Turns out one woofer is blown after all that work and I'm in need of a replacement.

The two little cells are bias cells😮

Nice to see, thanks 👍

Platter absolutely stuck. Mines all good but needs new belt and I can’t get it off - I think the old belt might be spun around the spindle or something it won’t budge

I really appreciate the ingenuity and skills that went into creating this impeccable work of art and engineering. What a fun vehicle to see the country in! Fabulous baby!🎉

This was the first real hifi turntable ever made. Thorens and others copied AR's suspension designs. The AR was even used by record companies to give the go ahead on mass production of said records as I understand it.

No hole drilling or anything like that. It goes between the platter and the tonearm.

If you want a decent device that will not break the bank to auto lift the tonearm up at the end of the record buy The Q Up. I just installed it on my AR XA and it works great. Takes a little fiddling with the lift installing wise but once you get it adjusted it is wonderful not having to bolt to the turntable when the last song is over. Needles are expensive these days so The Q Up will save your stylus from wear. Especially if you were to fall asleep while listening.

I have a 1209 that works ok but the Start/Stop switch doesnt work. It just spins and spins and spins. Wish you were located in my town, id take it to you for repair.

It appears to have a mechanical relay to switch heads for the reverse direction. If the relay is noisey, that could also be part of the problem. Rapidly switching direction might help.

hello. I'm hoping you can help me I'm having an issue finding a diode for my Harman Kardon SR900. The HK# from the Schematic is H41520419. It is in the output circuit after the phase transformers. I watched your video hoping you might mention them but you didn't. But I'm hoping that you could help me find a suitable replacement for it. Thank you in advance.

Hi Can you please recommend a good replacement for the rectifier diode (CR1) in the 667........I put in an overkill 1N5408 temporarily and my needle and everything started working again, I even calibrated it. I read somewhere the old one is a selenium diode, have no idea about it's specs other than (50 Ma) in the parts list.........Thanks for your help.

HELP!!! Hi I have been using mine for years. I have a really clean unit I got from my father. I just tested a 5U4 Rectifier tube that had a light show and blew a HT fuse in a fender guitar amp. So I tested it in my 667. It would make the transformer hum loud and it def. did not like this tube! the fuse blew in my 667 and after replacing fuse, my meter needle will not move past 5% on line adjust. I decided to take it apart and give it a look over and a really good service cleaning. I cleaned all of the pots and rotary switches and checked all of the resistors. while checking the transformer tap voltages all of the voltages were close and then the 10uf 150 cap exploded under the trim pot on the filament rotary switch side of the unit. I replaced it with a new nichicon 10uf 160 volt and the needle still won't move past 5% on line adjust. That rectifier fried something but I can't tell what it fried. I see a tiny clear diode or something I have no idea what it is or how to measure it. but you mentioned diodes and I would love it if you could walk me through identifying and checking them. Thanks for the videos. subscribed.

I used to have this particular camcorder, the one with the Newvicon tube, sadly it broke on me while I was at my uncle's kid's birthday and Halloween party back in October, and I found out that it was a bad lubricant that dried up, and I later replaced it with the Magnavox Movie Maker from 1987, the CCD image sensor camera that made famous for SkyCorp fake ads.

what is the name of the glue you used?

I had a pair of Carvins back in the day that I used for vocals at band practice and they sounded great

Nice job! Just wondering if the Shure V15 is a bit of a mismatch for that tonearm? The V15 was a top of the range high-compliance cartridge usually mated to a low mass tonearm like the SME 3009 arm back in the 70s.

Good job :-) I am a big fan of Electrovoice you did a very good job of doing the surrounds , I am the Speaker Doctor of Canada awesome job , i built a pair of Aristocrats bye hand also a set of Sentry 2 bye Electrovoice and they run the EV 12 TRXB 16 ohm drivers from 1955 they still run to this day .

I bought one in 75 sold it for the convenience of a dual. Still have the dual but bought another AR xa to use instead.

Don’t give these speakers crap. I’ve heard them in real life and they sound amazing.

The reason your motor ran backwards is the brushes are designed to cross each other and contact the opposite side of the shaft. You fold them almost all the way and then insert the shaft and the magnet and let them spring back to contact the shaft.

Thank you for making this really helpful video. 👍👍👍 I acquired an Eico 667 TT some years ago and was looking at it recently. I found it in a second hand store and paid $20 and change for it. The power cord is cut and twisted together, so I need to replace or repair the cord before I can do anything. I bought an owner's manual with a bunch of other tech documents to work on it in the future after I move out of my current house. Did you know that there is an Eico 615 Tube Adapter for testing the older tubes with the Eico 667? If you get one of those adapters or build one, you shouldn't have a need for the Eico 666 TT.

You must have to lean into the pad pretty good Iam thinking. I tried this on my cover and its still very hazy. Never had deep scratches or gouges but just very hazy. Tried this step by step and it cam out not good. Very hazy still and definitly not like new. In you opinion do you think I should try a full application from start to finish? Tried just mutiple polishing attempts and still the same result.

Thanks for this video sir. 1 for sale on CL and did not know that this was a decent piece of equipment (4 gang), could not believe all those solder cracks, their power switches are always problems, but poor design all that stress on those 6 solder joints.

Awesome job! I am hoping to do this exact repair for some Bose 901 drivers, and will be giving the MI-3035 a try. I appreciate you and hope all is well!

I have a dual amp treble & bass found in Hammond’s earlier models. Treble is type JR 1A and bass is type K. This unit came with a reverb tank. I was wondering if it was possible or rather worth converting these to a stereo amp. I mean they look pretty dang cool.

I picked up one of these in mint cosmetic condition with the original box, manulas, reel caps, and headphones for a few bucks. I changed all the suzuki caps and new belts, oiled all the moving parts, and it sounds really good.

Hint: Take a bottle of clear nail polish and smoothly wipe it on the motor pulley as it spins. Let it dry thoroughly. Then, reinstall the belt and check the speed again. This thin layer of polish often restores the worn amount on the pulley. I have fixed several worn pulleys using this method, and it lasted for as long as I had the table, often a couple of years or so.

5:25 always start with the least aggressive solvent. I would use acetone last. IPA usually takes off marker ink without damaging anything. Might take a little more scrubbing, but it works most of the time. Then I'd use denatured alcohol, then acetone. Sometimes even soap and water takes care of it! I never thought that a dimmed LCD might be due to poor connection through the display and zebra strip.

I'm looking at purchasing a Dual CS552 from the original owner for$100. What do you think?

How many watts should the 1 meg ohm and the 20 meg ohm resistors be for the calibration? Just curious as I'm attempting to calibrate my own.

Thank you for the video "flash back" Fluke meteres are the bees knees. I though my 77 purchased new in late the 80's was dated. I stand corrected. I don't even recall ether of the models you have. By the way, its internals are top notch and life affirming. Mine has been reliable all these years and it's my go-to-meter to this day. I call it a cradle to grave meter... Yeah, I didn't think that was to catchy ether. pssst; It's even survived a few years with pennies as fuse stand-ins But don't tell anybody I said that. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left.

Can you help me troubleshoot a 535a?

These were wonderful turntables.

I honestly expected the Thorens to win this contest being that it sports a heavy 6.5 lb platter, excellent belt drive motor and... the higher price & quality compared to the others. The AR and 1019 really surprised me with their .06% score given the AR's lighter platter and the Dual's idler drive. Light platters in general don't offer as much fly wheel effect and so their speed is not as steady but the AR is clearly an exception.

Just picked up a pair of epi m90 at a local goodwill. Woofer and tweeters surprisingly looked to be in great condition could’ve been redone cause everything from those to the baffle,grill cloths, and cabinet look to be in fantastic condition. 20 bucks! I saw them early in the day and although I wanted them I passed it wasn’t until a couple hours later I couldn’t resist the urge of “what if someone else gets to listen to them instead” and went back to find them still there. People at the goodwills nearby will tend to only grab new speakers and older speakers regardless of how good they are go unnoticed most of the time. PS I passed the first time because just a couple days before I had bought a sansui 221 and a pair of mirage om 10s at another goodwill lol.

I just got one, solid turntable 👍🏻

Now THAT is really something! Looks like it could be a bit of work to drive in rush hour...
