I owned this turntable for a number of years. I had one problem with it all along: everytime the carrier motor moves the cartridge, to maintain tangentiality, there is a slight but clearly audible "thump". This is particularly annoying on quiet passages. Few years ago someone in Switzerland told me that this could be cured with application of some silicon damping compound to the pin-and-socket arrangement at the back of the cartridge holder. Reading the service manual for the first time now, there is no mention of any such treatment. Does anyone else have this problem and how does it get dealt with? The pin-and -socket is at such an awkward position that trying different densities of silicon compaound there is very trying...Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I brought a very tidy one of these decks on ebay 6 months ago and have got it working perfectly with a new cartridge (AT440).

I noticed a tiny amount gunk in the bearing cup when I set it up and pulled some out with tweezers. It had the consistency of soft blu-tak.

I was a bit concerned about it not being in the service manual. However, I thought "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" so left it alone.

You will have to use something that is thick enough to stay in the cup with the deck is up-side-down or you will make a mess when changing or adjusting the cartridge.

I hope this is of some help.
