ü Our technician has completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through and 'Certified' this unit cleaning inside and out, COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING, cleaning and re-lubricating internal mechanisms and the balance of efforts listed below.

ü Refurb / restore included lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm and testing performance.

ü New belt installed (twice) for trouble-free service (first and commonly spec'd belt is incorrect for this turntable (same issue we encountered with the Bose 360. In fact, the tech remarked that this is a very similar table on the inside). We later sourced one from a knowledgeable / legit source instead of the common 'on-line' auction site.

ü Tone-arm, plastic 'over-lock' arm still intact and functioning properly

ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with factory test strobe disc and is >99% for 33.3 & 45 RPM.

ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy. 

ü Original dust cover just had good buff, and looks quite nice with most of the scuffing / scratching removed. Some minor striations / wear will still be visible depending on the angle of light. Both All-Metal hinges function fine including holding the dust cover in it's upright position. There is a 'closed' crack in the rear of the dust cover, near one of the hinges, but doesn't seem to be moving, and doesn't affect function of cover or hinge. Original rubber mat, still supple and flexible with no hardening.

ü Feet were disintegrated (as they were natural rubber) so we are including a set of our "made for us by Sorbothane", Sorbothane turntable Iso-Pods.  

ü We also re-installed and adjusted tone-arm for another, Stanton 500 cartridge and optimized the tone arm for it.

ü Cartridge / head shell ‘overhang’ adjusted using shop Stevens calibration scale.

ü Tested / analyzed and passed for motor noise and 60Hz hum (interestingly, no 'ground wire' required for this table).

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

Total technician time to restore ~6 HOURS!

CHANGER / STACKER TABLES LISTED BELOW. 
Tables with ceramic cartridges can be connected to any AUX, Tape input, CD input, Computer Sound Card input or any input on any receiver / integrated amplifier regardless of whether it has a phono pre-amp or not. 
Tables with ceramic cartridges and non-adjustable tone arms, are generally not recommended for critical listening situations, recordings and / or if your record collection is in above average condition and you want to keep it that way. If any of the previous criteria apply, you should consider one of the higher quality turntables listed above utilizing magnetic cartridges and fully adjustable, more critically designed tone arms. Please email or phone with any questions.
 

HOPEFULLY 2X DUAL STACKERS COMING SOON AS OF 12/9/2022
 

Note: The "Changer / Stacker" functions will generally work best when used with pre 1980's albums due to the 
 larger center hole diameter of older records. They also can sometimes work with up to 4 or 5 albums and even 6 on some table / record combinations, 
 but generally function best with 3 or less stacked at a time. Occasionally a 'stacker / changer' will either 'not drop' a record, or may drop more than one at a time. The physics of the mechanism / record hold size and internal shape will be different on various records, and it's not, nor never was a 'fine science'. Having said that, stacked records will 'drop and play' in order, just fine, the majority of the time on a fully serviced / properly refurbished record changer / stacker.
 Also, for optimum performance, special a special stylus is required for 78 RPM records. While you will get sound from a stylus designed for normal / 33 / 45 RPM records, it is best not to use the same stylus for both 78's and that is used for 33 1/3's / 45's.

ü Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit cleaning inside and out, removing 35+ year old 'stiff' grease that almost always impedes mechanism movement, cleaning and re-lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm height, lead OUT and 'auto return' mechanism and testing performance.

ü All controls removed, cleaned and degreased

ü Internal speed pots, cleaned as initial 'speed adjustment' would not stabilize. Following cleaning, then adjusted for centering and speed checked and verified for accuracy with our factory test strobe disc against built-in strobe monitor.

ü Resolved 'jammed' internal mechanism

ü New / Fresh belt installed (we actually reconditioned the original belt for our bench work as it was in fine condition, but ordered a PROPER new belt and installed following service work and tested for correct speed)

ü External / 'user' adjustable platter speed potentiometers cleaned for smooth speed transition and 'glitch-free' adjustment.

ü Gimbal bearing in great condition with no vertical or horizontal drag.

ü 'Auto' mechanism adjusted and tested.

ü Original rubber mat, still supple and flexible with no hardening.

ü New 'Ground' wire installed w/ 'Spade' lug

ü Original dustcover had a moderate buff, and while still has some lite scuffing, it looks decent. While one of the 'hinge tabs' has had the end severed at some point, the hinges hold it upright fairly well.

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

ü Unit test cycled through 6 LP’s flawlessly.

Great performing Technics SL-B350, Belt Drive, Fully Automatic turntable. Following the above restoration, we tested automatic functions through 6 LP sides, and it functions correctly, performs well and sounds great. Cosmetically the table looks great. The original dust cover is included, but is not 'issue free'. It was typically 'scuffed on the top when it arrived, but did get some moderate buffing which 'helped' it look much better and is now decent looking. Again, the original plastic tabs are in 'functional' condition with one being split off shorter. The original hinges are in good shape and do allow the dust cover to be held in it's 'UP' position.

Technics SL-B350 Turntable Features:

ü Motor completely disassembled, bushings cleaned and lubed.

ü Refurb / restore included lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm and testing performance.

ü Platter spindle removed, old 'gooey' lube solvent removed and re-lubed w/ 20W.

ü Hardened platter mat replaced with much heavier and supple version

ü New,  and "*CORRECT" belt installed for trouble-free service ("CORRECT" meaning NOT the one that's commonly advertised for this table. The commonly spec'd belt is incorrect for this turntable. We later sourced one from a knowledgeable / legit source instead of the common 'on-line' auction site. The incorrect one is too wide and will drag on the speed change forks and not be allowed to ride on the correct part of the motor spindle)

ü Tone-arm, plastic arm-lock still intact and functioning properly

ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with factory test strobe disc and is 99% for 33.3 & 45 RPM @ +1%.

ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy. 

ü Original dust cover just had fresh buff, and looks GREAT with most of the visible wear removed. Some wear will still be visible depending on the angle of light. Both All-Metal hinges function fine including holding the dust cover in it's upright position. There is a 'closed' crack in the rear of the dust cover, near one of the hinges, but doesn't seem to be moving, and doesn't affect function of cover or hinge. 

ü We also re-installed and adjusted tone-arm for a Shure M55E cartridge and optimized the tone arm for it.

ü Cartridge / head shell ‘overhang’ adjusted using shop Stevens calibration scale.

ü Tested / analyzed and passed for motor noise and 60Hz hum

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

Total technician time to restore ~5 HOURS!

- Oil Damped tone arm cueing

Great working, Technics built, MCS 6601 Semi-automatic turntable. It's a very well built turntable featuring Direct drive for stable operation and a super quality classic "S" shaped tone arm with standard 1/2" mount head shell. Also features adjustable tracking and anti-skating force and an oil damped Tone-Arm cuing lift control. Will play 33 or 45 RPM discs. **Original dust cover comes with it, but the hinge tabs are compromised, so you can still utilize it as a 'lift off' cover. Again, as stated above, the entire table inside and out (especially inside) has been completely reconditioned and all functions test fine and overall, the table looks great!  This is a great "all around" table that you won't be disappointed in. WAAAAYYYY better than the current crop of very 'plastic feeling' tables coming out of China. Measures 18" wide x 15.5" deep x 5.5" tall and weighs 13 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.
