Repair / Help / Technics SL1510 help
« Last post by Zuma on December 24, 2022, 03:48:19 PM »Hello! I have two questions. Absolute beginners level...
I have been given av SL1510 that lights up and rotates, plays the record, but I dont get any sound through my amp, and changing to another record player does, so it is the SL1510 that is the problem. I understand this can be due to a lot of different reasons, but i would like to know where to begin looking..
I am a complete newbie on HIFI, but I have done some soldering and building guitar effects etc so have som basic soldering skills.

Repair / Help / Re: Technics SL-P370 not reading TOC/playing discs
« Last post by AZLN on December 24, 2022, 02:09:18 PM »Thanks y'all. Will shop around for a new one. Any recommendations for a decent one with similar functionality, or should I go for another SL-P370? My mother doesn't really care much about the brand so long as it looks similar to the old one and plays.

I've cleaned it with a touch of windex on a Q-tip, but I'm not sure if the laser itself is the problem so much as the assembly itself. Is there a belt that might need replacing?
I wish I knew. That is the entire extent of my CD troubleshooting knowledge.

Up for grabs is my premier table. I am definitely down-grading to my Micro Seiki BL 111. It was a tough decision but, I like the ease to change tonearms on my Micro Sieiki's.

Currently in use, this set up was $8500 in 2016. The cartridge still sells new for $2300. I have most if not all boxes, manuals and packing. The cartridge has average hours on it, still has plenty of life. DM me for price

I've got a Technics SL-P370 that my mother used to use all the time in the mid to late 90s, and we want to start building our stereo system again. The receiver works fine, then we tried to set up the CD player. It would accept the disc, spin quietly, then do nothing. I took it apart to see just what it was doing inside, and it just spun lazily a few times but didn't retrieve the TOC nor play the disc. I have a video of it here:

Any ideas how I can get this CD player working again? Thank you so much for your help!
What position is the laser in? Is it returned to the middle or stuck at an edge? Also, did you attempt cleaning the laser? Since it's been sitting so long it's possible that it's simply dirty.
