Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

All rubber parts comes from Jukeboxparts in Holland but are (in my opinion) to hard! But the rubber might be ok as I dont have anything to compare with. I oiled the parts with ordenary motor oil! But I didnt open up the turntable asm as I didnt have any tool for the locking rings! I judged it to be ...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

Brass clip removed< Almost all 50Hz hum is gone :-) Thanks for the help! What is left now is the rumble/hum that comes from the turntable motor. It would be nice if I could get rid of it! The turntable motor creates a low frequent sound, maby it's the 50Hz I can hear? Here is my theory: When this lo...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

If I remember how it looks......there is one small tab from one of the pins on the cartridge connected to the cartridge shell. The shell is then screwed in to the tonearm. Is this the the grounding clip that should be removed? http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gbak/Wurlitzer%202310S/Arc/D7A267...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

I tightend the transportation vingscrews and as I did it the noice incresed dramatically! So I added cork "washers" over and under the "floating" springs just to see if the noice was changing and it seems like it is much lower now or almost gone! Still there are two different noi...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

If strapping the input leads at the connector the noice gets much lower!
So what does this mean?
Should I use shielded cable all the way to the cartridge?

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

I'm quite shure it's a oscillating sound! I can heare the noice very low when it starts, and within a few seconds the noice increases Then as heard on my recording it dissapeares when the music is starting to play. It's always on the same place on the record I play. And the noice suddenly dissapears...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

Shield is not conected to the tonearm or cartridge itself. I connected the shield as it was when I got the jukebox, to the connector on the plate behind the arc. Photo is not from my jukebox but I have done the same connection. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gbak/Wurlitzer%202310S/9BC288A2-...

Re: New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

I was thinking the same so I have have new (grounded) shielded cables from tonearm to pre amp.
I have also checked for ground loops and tried different groundings without any luck!

New phono pre amp, cartridge & needle Wurlitzer 2310S, but great dissapointment!

I installed a really good phone pre amp and also switched out the Sonotone AT8 cartridge to a Pickering V15 with a NP/AC needle from Kabusa, but the dissapointment was great when I started a play records. It seems like noice is picked up by the new needle/cartridge and the pre amplifier then amplifi...

Re: Wurlitzer 2310S, renovation is now finished. Check in the video!

I agree, a wonderful (and tedious) job. And yes, after ALL that, to utilize an antiquated cartridge? A Varco modern TN4B would be better suited, and easier to get replacement styli for. The Varco looks at a quick glance a bit to wide for the narrow Wurlitzer tonearm! But it might also work? Have yo...

The Sonotone TA-8 was what I bought from beginning, but
Pickering V-15 and a new riaa preamp is my first choice!

Re: Wurlitzer 2310S Playrak blows 0.8 A fuse

I changed the two hot resistors on the selector plate from 5 to 15W. The main plate also acts as a coolingfin, still the select lamp resistors temperature is hot! Is this high temperature ok or should I fix even better cooling? http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gbak/Wurlitzer%202310S/Selector/...

Re: Wurlitzer 2310S Magazine Motor doesn't run

Got my hands on the Pickering V-15/AT2 cartridge today!
The resistance over the coils are 685 and 645 ohms.
The diff between the channels is around 6%, is that ok?
