Working 100%. Nicely maintained table. I went through it and deoxed the on/off switch as well as the speed selector switch. Any old grease was removed and replaced with fresh lube. New electrolytic capacitors installed.
I've been restoring Technics Tables for almost ten years and have sold just under 1000 tables in that time. The reason I started this hobby was because I wanted people to realize how good records can sound with a quality turntable. New LP's aren't cheap, please don't spend more on a new album than you do on a turntable, you'll just end up regretting the purchase.
The Q200 is a pretty bulletproof table. The pmount design makes tracking force and stylus set up a breeze. Currently a like new AT cart and stylus reside on the table, but your welcome to whatever I have in stock.
Here is a quick summary of the maintenance and restoration process for each turntable.
* All electrolytic capacitors replaced with quality components. Film capacitors or used in some instances for better performance.
* Speed selector switch and both internal and external speed potentiometers deoxed with DN5
* Tonearm bearings checked, lubed, and adjusted if necessary.
* RCA cable ends and tonearm to headshell connection points polished for superior connectivity. If the RCA cables are in bad condition I will replace them with gold plated units.
* Spindle lubed with the appropriate light weight oil.
* Internal auto function levers, bushings, etc., relubed. This procedure varies the most from model to model.
* All solder connections checked for cold joints.
* Dustcover hinges tightened.
* Cue damping fluid checked for proper viscosity and drop down rate. Replaced if necessary.
* Turntable is cleaned and the dustcover is polished.
* Lastly the table is thoroughly tested for proper performance.
