DUAL CS630Q issues
« on: June 05, 2014, 03:23:55 PM »
My older son found above mentioned turntable in the box in his basement. It was his wife's from before they meet. Cosmetically it looks great and has an Ortofon cartridge. At this point arm seems fine...cue works as it should. Player struggles to move and can't quite get moving. I know it's direct drive. It might just need to be oiled. Suggestions?  If we can get it to run my son will need a phono preamp.
Thx

That's a shame... newlyweds shouldn't be experiencing problems with their direct drives so soon!

Not the newlyweds I'm talking about. I'm talking about my older son

If a good clean and lube doesn't do it, it may need a motor cap or two.

Agreed. Could be a cap issue.

I had one of these with cueing issues. I gave it to Gallagher (Dan) who fixed it within a few hours. If you're totally stuck, you might want to get ahold of him. I'm pretty sure I gave him the service manual with the TT. He might even still have the TT.

I put one in a give away system.   Not a bad table with the right cartridge.
