Marantz Anti-skating
Submitted on June 29th, 2010 by deskMy Pioneer PL10 just died so I pulled out my wife's Marantz 6100 and set it up per the owner's manual. The anti-skating is too strong so I had to set the anti-skating weight on the pillar that supports the tone arm. Something must be wrong with the TT even thought it works okay without the anti-skating weight. Any ideas what needs fixing?
Bearing Lubrication
Submitted on February 25th, 2010 by lemonjelloI just got one of these that needs rebuilding. Got everything working well except the bearing. The speed seams to slow down and wobble when the bearing oil heats up. Should I be using some sort of grease?
Thanks,
Jake
missing anti-skate weight
Submitted on February 1st, 2010 by LPS7833Hi all,
I just got a 6100 from my neighbor who was getting rid of it. The anti-skate weight is missing. Can anyone who has one put it on their scale and let us all know how much it weighs? It would be greatly appreciated. We could then make a replace ment. Also, my tt has no bottom and no feet. It's not a problem because I have concrete floors, but could anyone give me a brief description of what they look like.
Hi, I also have a 6100 and

TT 6100 Bottom
Submitted on February 7th, 2010 by elpicho417Hi LPS7833,
Here are some pictures of the bottom of mine. follow this picasa link : http://picasaweb.google.fr/nikoolas/TT6100?feat=directlink
About the antiskating weight, as I said in a message here, I've tried a Pro-ject weight and its too heavy. I don't know how much it weights though.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the pics
Submitted on February 14th, 2010 by LPS7833Hi elpicho417,
great pictures! They tell me everything I need to know in case I want to make a replacement bottom. I also noticed later that the mechanism for switching the speed from 33 to 45 is missing entirely. I think I'll try to make one of those so I can listen to 45s. If anyone has pics of that it would be helpful. The fun never ends!

6100, antiskating too strong
Submitted on November 21st, 2009 by elpicho417Hi, I too have found a 6100 but the antiskating weight was missing. I have an extra weight from my Project debut III so I used it and and put it in the inner notch (1.5g) - I have a AT120E cartridge on it- but the antiskating seems to be too strong as when I play a grooveless vinyl, the arm is drawn back towards the armrest. Is the project antiskating weight too heavy? how heavy should it be?
thanks for your help im lost here.

Stylus Overhang
Submitted on March 20th, 2009 by KentsterHello! I just picked up a Marantz 6100 turntable that is in just FANTASTIC shape for the age of it. I got a great deal on a Goldring G-1042 cartridge and am now going thru the motions properly installing the cartridge. I might be a dummy on this one but I just cant understand what they are saying in the Marantz instructions to come up with the proper overhang. The picture doesn't tell me enough. Well not enough fro me to understand. Can anyone simplify this for me PLEASE....

overhang
Submitted on March 20th, 2009 by JaSHi,
The 45rpm adaptor that comes with the deck has a cross marked on it. This is a measurement of the amount the stylus tip should 'overhang' the spindle for standard alignment geometry.
Keeping the cartridge square in the headshell, you need to move the cartridge for and aft in the headshell until the stylus tip can be placed on the cross (when the cross is turned as far away from the tonearm pivot as possible). Once you are happy the overhang is correct, nip up the cartridge mounting bolts and double check.
Regards,
JaS
Overhang
Submitted on March 22nd, 2009 by KentsterThanks, all I need to do now is find an original 45rpm adapter for a 6100. There is one on ebay but it has a dot to line up with not an X. It also says it will go with several Marantz models. Hate to pay $40 and not be the right thingy!

Adjust the Antiskating Device
Submitted on February 13th, 2009 by LivestroThis TT has an antiskating device that seams to be the same as the one from Lenco L85.
Still I can't find out in which of the notches I've to hang on the little weight.
Can anybody help me?
Has anyone of you got a manuell of this turntable?
THANKS for your answer and help!!!
Anti-skating adjustment
Submitted on February 20th, 2009 by rascalAccording to the Manual, the anti-skating force can be adjusted by placing the loop in the end of the monofilament line around one of the notches in the anti-skate lever. The values for the notches are:
the inside notch is 1.5g, the second is 2.0g, the third is 2.5g, the fourth is 3.0g, the fifth is 3.5g, and the outside notch is 4.0g. Set the anti-skating force to the same value as the tracking force.
Hope this is helpful.
