Sony Direct-Drive TT Fluttering Issue
Hey all, recently started piecing together my own budget stereo setup and picked up a Sony PS-LX2 turntable. The previous owner said it worked but the servo lock light would flash. I got it home, used deoxit on all the pots on the board and the speed switch, but it didn't fix the issue. I've also noticed that if I leave it sitting for an extended period without use, the motor sometimes won't start (or will give a small wiggle and do nothing) when I move the tonearm and I sometimes need to give the table a push to get it going. I'm thinking it might be capacitors going bad from age, so I have ordered replacements, but I wanted some input before I go swapping components.
