Topic: saltuhin's audio and ht (updated 02/25/08)

[ǝʞɐɾ ʎzzɐɾ]

saltuhin, I just recently acquired (from my dad  )  a Technics SL-B202 like yours but don't have the user manual. Since I'm a newbie on turntables, I was hoping if I can get a copy of the user manual from you (either by email or LBC sana  ) I will cover the expense if by courier. I'm a bit baffled on how to set-up the tracking force and cart alignment. Currently, I fitted it with a Shure M-92E cart/stylus and with just guessing the adjustments, the sound is quite good already though I'm sure there is still a lot of room for improvement if properly adjusted.
Though, I also noticed some random slowing down of speed on certain tracks which I think is caused by the old belt. Do you know where to get a replacement belt for this model? TIA

hi allan1836,

sorry for the late reply, ngayon ko lang ulit kasi nacheck itong thread. regarding cartridge alignment you can use yung mga karton na 2 point cartridge alignment protractor na usually kasama ng new turntables. kung wala kang makuha you can download one, google mo na lang cartridge alignment. sa tracking force kailangang ibalance mo muna yung tonearm kung saan magfloat siya by rotating the counterweight clockwise or counterclockwise then set mo yung counterweight to zero. kunin mo yung 2 grams after that by dialing in 2. baseline pa lang ito, adjust by ear ka na lang. OR you can use a stylus force gauge to get 2 grams na tracking force. you can buy spare belts sa raon, Armstrong pangalan ng store malapit na sa side ng quiapo pedestrian overpass.

hope this helps allan. pag nakuha mo na yan tuloy tuloy na analog journey mo.
