Repairing vintage stereo consoles is a challenge due to their size and the multiple elements (turntable, amplifier, speakers, etc) that may need attention. 

If your console works fine except for the turntable component, I should be able to work on the turntable if you can remove it from the console and bring it to me.

First things first — test the radio (and/or the tape player if it has one of those). We want to know if the console is producing sound out of both speakers. If it does, this means that both channels on the amplifier and both speakers are working. This is what we want.

Once that’s established, shoot me an email with a picture of the record player and a description of the symptoms. If it’s something I can take on, I’ll send you instructions on how to remove the changer. It requires a few common tools, but it’s not a difficult operation.

Please keep in mind that repairs for console turntables are a “best effort” service. Some of the mechanisms are quite complex. I try to get them 100% functional, but often poor storage or excessive use makes that difficult.
