JVC L-F41
I resurrected a F41 from a thrift store. Someone had probably left it in the garage on a shelf under a container of motor oil -in which it was covered when I found it. After careful cleaning adjusting and testing I used the existing ADC cartridge and found it to perform quite well. As these TT are from a point in time when most consumers were crossing over to CD's from vinyl it may have seen little use before storage. I found it to be a nice quiet TT and after refurbishing sold for $140 to a customer who just loves it. If you find one at a garage sale or thrift store give it a shot. The arm is capable and it responds well to most refurbishment techniques. Kudos to VE and the great community here who post the service and owners manuals. They were very helpful in my resurrection efforts.
I have using this model for two years now. it is second hand and it works well, I tune in a little. it is very stable and quiet turntable. sound is very nice as well.
A great starter vintage turntable, it worked for about 2 months till the anti-skating went faulty. Maybe would of been a work horse back in the day but too much problems with the arm for me.
Very much underrated as a turntable brand apart from the top QL range. The F41 is capable of high quality sound helped by its sturdy construction and excellent motor stability. The arm has good damping qualities and the motor well shielded so it works very well with Grado Prestige bodied carts. Changing the RCA output leads to something shielded and also upgrading the head shell leads are worthwhile upgrades. To lift the performance further consider adding damping to the plinth and underside of the platter. In a serviced state with the aforementioned mods it will impress. |
