ok yung brush ah - try ko makapag DIY... sandawagumagalaw ba yan inward kasabay ng arm? ty yes sir, gumagalaw 'yan papasok, kasabay ng cartridge. an audio supplier here in Davao told me this is still available on some US brands, but only through Online ordering.

ok yung brush ah - try ko makapag DIY... sandawagumagalaw ba yan inward kasabay ng arm? ty medyo OT ito, but a DIY would be a good idea. i'll probably look into light but rigid material such as wood or bamboo crafted well. anyway, this cleaner is about 8.25 inches long, 0.7 inch wide on far side and 0.5 inch on the side of the brushes. here are some close-up shots: the tip where the brushes are located, one round and big, the other small for the second cleaning full shot - far right is the stand with rubber suction to secure it firmly on the TT base, notice also the height adjustment screw which provides desired cleaning pressure

my favorite Technics turntable these past months is an old linear-tracker SL-7. it was produced in mid-80s ($400) before the CDPs took over. a very convenient piece of analog device, compared with the old turntable. it's kinder to stylus as well as record groove. in my opinion, it could even sound better than the traditional turntable if fitted with good p-mount cartridges. my unit was bought non-working at P500 in a surplus warehouse here in Davao late last year. i replaced a worn-out belt with a P6-spare, removed the MC Technics cartridge and installed an ATP-122LP, an elliptical on the upscale side back in mid-80s (over $100 original price), and it performed wonderfully since then. many of my 20-year old records play best with SL-7 nowadays. it's supposed to play better than traditional turntables on new and well-maintaned records. in my experience though, it tracks even records in bad condition, walang masyadong talon. here are some pictures: side by side with the Moody Blues' album "Threshhold of a Dream" (Nautilus) for size comparison no need for some analog gadgets - it has a built in disc stabilizer (on the left) and the cartridge assembly always runs straight with hardly any tracking error (on the right) looks very simple, but it sounds great - very stable too with its weight only a little lighter compared with the SL-1200mkII postscript: i have placed the SL7 on my bed since it has a more stable playback system compared even with CDPs. it is also much more convenient for me since many of my albums are stored on plastic cases (available at Ace) on the side of my bed near my monster amps. the SL7 continues to play even when the bed bounces and have tried it playing on slanted positions and it continued playing, no effect on sound or rotation speed.

would you believe i sold a Technics SL-D3 and the one below at P1K each? fortunately the buyer of the CDC below did not pick it up, but i still have an extra Technics SL-D3, 220volts. naglinis kasi si Diego ng bahay a few months ago, nakita yung Technics SL-D3 nakakalat - dinala sa akin - "sa 'yo na lang". ayos!

Those pictures bring back memories. ;D I was about to get one of those back in 86 in Raon to replace my older Technics SL B2. I was comparing that with the Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 something, also tangential tracking. But I relented after reading some horror stories about linear trackers and got my first CD player the year after and the rest is history. ;D How's the tonearm linear glidepath? And the servo motor that moves the tonearm? Is it using servo motors on the tonearm? I read an article in stereophile at that time about many linear trackers (don't recall if technics was one of them) and how they didn't sound as good as a decent pivoted gimbal-mounted TT on the same cartridge The unit you got must be new or relatively unused to sound that good. And since your're happy with it, that's all the matters. ;D

i think the SL15, SL10 and SL7 were a a class by themselves among the linear trackers. i also believe turntables shouldn't make a sound, otherwise, it would be a low fidelity equipment. it's the pickup and stylus that must should make all the sound we hear. the problem pointed out before with linear trackers is when they play old records with groove biased/damaged on one side due to tracking errors made by traditional tonearms. otherwise, if the condition of the groove is good, the performance would be at least a notch higher compared with the best traditional tonearm (vinyl was cut linear). anyway, as they say in AK, never trust a Stereophile or a TAS with advertisements. i'm truly happy with the SL7's performance, especially with its AT-122 P-mount. got that and a 112 from Dau back in '85 with about half a dozen spare styli ;D . i'm truly glad i kept them.
