Technics SL-5 part 8 - Speed Adjustment

Adjusting the speed for 45, then 33 1/3. That's pretty much it for this project. I will hook it up and play some records, to ensure start and stop positions are correct, so if anything interesting happens, I'll add another video.

Thanks for the video, nice job. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Some questions if I may: 
1. How stable is the speed on these after you set it up?
2. Why didn't Technics put a platter strobe on these models like the SL-1x00 series?
3. How hard is it to see the tonearm to manually queue tracks?
4. Does the sound mute when the tonarm is lowered on the record to eliminate the 'drop pop'?

Hello! I need help because my Technics SL-DL5 (which is similar to the SL5) won’t spin anymore. I was adjusting the 45rpm but then it stopped spinning. As I was turning it back to where it was, the whole trimmer popped off. I want to get my turntable spinning again. Thanks!

thanx for the very educating videos. One question: my needle drops too fast on the vinyl, should i put some silicon oil on the copper ribbled iron left to the middel of the tonearm or is there another solution?

How do you set the pressure on the needle?
Great viedos btw.
I just bought one of these for 50 and will be attempting a service

I have a SL-5 in need of speed adjustment but I can't figure out how did you put the plat to work without closing the lid.

I have one of these units, but it often auto-returns early, depending on the record. Do you cover this in the series? If you could save me a few hours and point me to the right spot in one of the videos I'd appreciate it!
