Welcome to the Forum!
Your story is told over and over again here and there. A place that was actually in Wilmerding, PA that moved to North Carolina I believe use to do repairs on Linn tables. They also did all the upgrades. Their website is: http://www.britaudio.com/home.html
Send them an email and inquire about a repair and maybe an upgrade. Good luck!

Welcome! Glad to hear your audio “flame” has been revived.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'm mostly an operaholic, but also love classical music in general. I sang in a lot of choirs through my life and listen to a lot of the choral as well as the symphonic repertoire. I also love the interpreters of the great american songbook from Sinatra to Buble. As far as the LP-12 goes, right now it doesn't even turn or. The light on the on button doesn't come on when plugged in and the motor doesn't drive the wheel. I wish I were confident with my own tinkering, but haven't ever gotten that deep into the audiophile obsession--which is partly why I'm here: to learn from guys who know a lot more and get more confident so I can venture in and open up one of these classic beauties and see what's inside.

About time we had an opera lover here. A hundred years ago I was an opera major at Boston Conservatory. A high lyric tenor who in my 20s had a money C and most days could go full voice to D or Eb with no issue. Pavarotti was my hero and I definitely spent most of my time in the Italian Bel Canto repertoire. These days I sing in church and am only money up at an A (father time catches up to everyone but Nicolai Gedda). Some days I still have a C, but it's not reliable. I'm not nearly as well versed in non-vocal classical music, but in my defense I've also spent much of my life playing bass and singing high harmonies in bar bands, so I have a lot of the rock/blues/country stuff down too. Do you still sing in chorales? Where?
