Current (broken) Stylus is actually upgraded, Shure RXT6 🤔 (elliptical)
Standard is a T4P cartridge. Probably good enough... These are not brand new records I am playing, lol.

This morning, I woke up to the sound of a lot of commotion and human traffic on my street.
I groggily looked out my bedroom window and saw about 40 cars parked on my street.
Upon closer look, I saw a tent on the front lawn of the houseacross the street, and loads of people walking around with various items.
ESTATE SALE!
And barely had to get dressed.As far as records and CDs go, it was miles and miles and miles of utter dog shit.
BUT… I found THIS.
A really nice Sony PS-LX3 Direct Drive turntable, in perfect working order.
They wanted only 50 bucks for it, but I talked them down to 30.
Now THATS a hell of a find.
Got it all hooked up, and it sounds great!So now I’ve got TWO really great sounding direct drive machines in the study.
The maiden voyage goes to Total: From Joy Division To New Order.

"We meet again, Nemesis, but now the tables have turned."
"Well... yes... they have turned... as they would, given that they are turntables."

I'm embracing it. 3/5 of the plugged in #turntables in my house are now Technics Linear trackers. One of the others is a Technics 1200.
And the kids have a Fisher Price.

Some turntables were built to impress. Others to endure.

Turntable Audio-Technica
Not sure about the model, but what I know: those players may be "popular" but this one of the best options for the beginner. They should avoid those cheap ones from the popular stores for this season. -
I was at a store earlier, noticed that they have some cheap turntables like this Crosley one and other brands with such RIDICULOUS prices.
No way, why people still wants to have such crap!!!
They are not turntables but RECORDS DESTROYER ! -
My neighbours gave me their old turntable the other week and I just got the loveliest surprise in the post today from my dear friend Liz 🙏💛 I know what I'll be doing this weekend! I had a sizeable collection in the late 80s/90s, but it got lost somewhere when I left Denmark, so I'll be browsing charity shops to build it up again! It's a very basic turntable, but is a way to test if I'll actually use it before I buy I better one. 😄

I’ve been asked if I listen to an actual radio. Yes I do. I know it’s 2025. But I prefer the radio, albeit a DAB. No more MW/LW or even FM. I also prefer #records and #turntables and #printedbooks and #fountainpens that I fill with ink from a bottle. I like to plug my #guitar into a proper #valveamp, wind on the film in my #camera and do the Guardian crossword in the proper #newspaper. It helps slow life down. Everything is too frenetic...

I still want to add a turntable to my stereo setup. I'm going to start saving for something nice. My friend works for a company that sells Pro-Ject turntables and can get me an employee discount.

Sound Explosion: 22 Original Hits Original Stars

Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Limited Edition, Stereo
Canada

Rock, Pop
Soft RockDangers of hosting a multi-family garage sale—you pick up stuff 😅
Had this one back in the day and totally forgot how flat the music on the album was. I guess they had to compress the life out of it to squeeze 22 Original Hits - Original Stars onto a single LP.
A bit scratchy, clicky, and poppy. #RiceKrispies but given its age, fun. Also a good test for the refreshed #turntable

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - Time to Use It
Now that it's properly functional, I'll swap out my current turntable and give it a bit of a run. Already I've got some minor things that need attention:
- Unusual rubbing sound from the drive mechanism as the tonearm approaches the end of the record.
- Find a dust cover.
- Find or fabricate additional headshells for the other moving-magnet cartridges I have.But first, I have other projects on the bench. Speaker surround foam replacement is next.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Speed Controls
It's all about the speed – Quartz Lock Button and Speed Adjustment
On the left side, we've got this cluster of controls and indicators.
So, you select the record speed when you power on the unit (previous post), but here we can lock it in or tweak it. Interesting feature, but not sure what need it’s fulfilling. Based on a quick test, it looks like you can tweak the speed +/- 10%.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Controls
About these controls - Power / speed knob
The aesthetic seems to be knobs and buttons. There is no power switch, per-se. It's more of a main speed selector.
What's interesting is that there's no indication that it's 'ON' until you move the tonearm over the record. Then the Power light illuminates, and the platter starts spinning. So, select the record speed first. Unit is on, but no power light (yet). Got it.
Nice feature, at the end of the record side, the turntable automatically returns the tonearm to the rest and stops the platter. A feature some modern high-end tables seem to be missing.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Penny Fix
So, after thinking about it a bit, I did what anyone from my generation would have done. I taped a _penny_ to the headshell :D
Well, not really, but the end result is the same. The first headshell had what I originally thought was a shim. Turns out it was a weight. So I moved it to the new headshell, adjusted the counter-weight, and now had proper stylus loading. You can see it in the close-up photo as the thin black plate sticking out between the headshell and the cartridge.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - Headshell Fix
So in the spirit of restoration, had to find an original headshell. Did, installed, and _poof_ the cartridge alignment went as it should.
But, this headshell and cartridge were so light, there was no way to properly load the stylus to 1.5 grams. I'd never had that experience before but the most weight I could dial in was .5 grams.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Headshell
The headshell - well, this was not the one that was originally paired with the unit when it shipped. What should have been there was this tiny-little LMH-1. I discovered the difference when I was trying to set up the cartridge with an alignment template. No way to make it align properly so that told me that something was fishy with the geometry.
And apparently this design is kinda famous in that it introduced the industry to the low-mass tonearm concept.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - Introduction
First post in a series. Subsequent posts in the repliesWell, made good progress on the ADC 1700DD turntable restoration this weekend. I'll pop a bunch of photos and comment on them in this thread.
First up - It's ALIVE!!
Background - this turntable was part of a system that I picked up at a garage sale last summer. The speakers were all shot (rotten foam surrounds - another project currently on the bench) and this turntable was 'unknown'. Missing its dustcover and paired with a moving coil cartridge that it didn't ship with. But it spun, and being quartz locked, it did lock in at 33⅓ and 45. So it was a start.
