PIONEER PL-11
A guy called up the office one day and was asking if I repair turntable. I ask him what the model is and he said that it a PIONEER PL-11. I have tried to limit my repair works to the LENCOs.
Being cold on other brands, I told him that maybe it is better for him to look for a replacement table instead because the cost may just be the same anyhow if he gets a pre-owned one. However, he is insistent to have it repaired because its what he and his wife listens to and its value is priceless....and so I agree to check the unit.
I was surprised when he brought the table to the office because having connected the PIONEER brand to belt and direct drive turntables...this came out as an idler. The motor was not spinning after I plug it in and so I ask him to just leave the unit. The man left with a note if I would be able to finish it by Oct 10 because it is his wife's birthday.
Unfortunately with tons of works both in my day job as well as other restorations, i was not able to have it run by the wife's birthday.
Well, huli man ay natapos din...so here it is the now...a running PIONEER PL-11.
REPAIR THE BROKEN MOTOR.
