When this phono gets close to the end of a record, it will skip and keep playing the same part over and over. Should I move it to 1.5g? Or is there a better cartridge for this phono?ģ. It is recommended that the stylus weight for this cartridge be between 1.0-1.5 grams. It has an Audio-Technica AT-331LP cartridge that came with it. If I stomp on the ground fairly hard anywhere in the room, the phono will skip. I have already set up the counterweight using a stylus force scale.Ģ. I cannot find an owner's manual anywhere. Should I change out the power cord to a more modern fused type? What about lubrication? I've found the service manual online which is basically just a parts list. Is there anything I should do straight away before using it too much? I've tested it, and it seems to work generally well. I have a couple of questions regarding this phono.ġ. The arm up/down lever works and so does the cut switch. 35lb.Recently picked up a Pioneer PL-25 in good condition. You can contact me for help with the set up.Īpproximate box dimensions: 22x22x16. Will remove platter, hinges, counterweight, etc. Shipping to the lower 48 only using Fedex insured. Please, view all pictures, and let me know if you have questions before buying. Since this is a Japanese model I will include 100/120v adapter. My price reflects the cover being not perfect. There is another PL-1250 listed on Ebay for $900. As you noticed on the pictures there is a small stress mark or crack by the right hinge and one very small on the front. It comes with AT-95E cartridge/stylus set. Speeds are dead stable and it's quiet running machine. I resoldered phone/tonearm wires and played it this morning. It's in a such nice shape that I decided to sell it in its original look. I bought the player to restore and veneer it, but after cleaning and polishing all metal parts it looks perfect. Dimensions, hinges and dust cover are all just like Pioneer PL-550. Internal mechanism, tonearm mounting, arm rest, cueing, etc all are identical to PL-550. If you are familiar with Pioneer turntables, you would notice that the controls, tonearm with VTA are from the PL-550 model. For your consideration is a direct drive full manual Pioneer PL-1250S turntable.
