• Very nice, solid and heavy unit. Unfortunately, the lift unit is defective in almost all used units. Reason is a broken plastic ring with bracket ("servo arm") for the lift function. The corresponding spare part ((N)SFPAB13204A) is no longer available from Technics or Panasonic. In the meantime, there are replica parts from the 3D printer in the USA, which fit very well and should also work, see here [[1]].
• Skilled hobbyists have also repaired broken levers with success, see here [[2]]
• If you can't wait that long, a slim cable tie will do! HW
• Bend the lift spring a little bit too! HW

Reviews

• With best heavy drive(+problems) of Technics (SP10 ff. reference)3x transport screws,Ortofon "Concorde pro" completely sufficient!!Poor impact sound decoupling,which affects the sound,channel separation!!HW

a bad impact sound decoupling is due to broken rubbers in the spring elements of the subchassis... if these are in order, the device is unshakeable.
