Although it's not patched into my system, yet, here are pictures of my Pioneer PL-630. I have to decide how to juggle some components to make room for the PL-630, and my newly acquired Pioneer RG-9 Dynamic Processor sent to me by fellow Pioneer enthusiast and all around good guy, Lee.

Much nicer than I initially thought. I didn't spend much time looking it over, because once I picked it up at the auction site, I made a bee-line over to Innovative Audio to drop it off for a tune-up. I hope she plays as well as it looks!

At today's Innovative Audio Vintage Audio and Record Garage Sale I missed out on a Pioneer SA-9900 by less than a half hour.





It's nestled in there with some other gear the fellow stacked up. I congratulated him for scoring it at less than $100. I wouldn't have it sitting unprotected on the asphalt, though. Cripes!

Nando, I've got a brand new Stanton V15 cart and needle...good grief!



That is what I am apparently saving it for...just not at 66 rpm

I have a 610 with a bad servo control...Pickering and Stanton=same company and his cart is very similar to my brand new in box Stanton, IAVS didn't pan out.

At least I have an Idea of what to put on mine when it eventually works right.

No counterweight either. Almost any part I needed showed up on eBay around 2 weeks ago but I missed the servo by a day.

For 5 dollars I'll wait until Popsicles go to hell anyway.

Hi Steven,

I didn't know the Stanton and Pickering cartridges were that similar. And you have an NOS Stanton? The Shure M97XE is another good cartridge I wouldn't mind trying. IA has an NOS one, but outside of my budget.

They look similar in ways.

I've had that poor 610 for almost a year now you may recall.[attachment=5:3oeb4olj]MVC-001S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj][attachment=4:3oeb4olj]MVC-003S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj][attachment=3:3oeb4olj]MVC-004S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj][attachment=2:3oeb4olj]MVC-005S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj][attachment=1:3oeb4olj]MVC-006S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj][attachment=0:3oeb4olj]MVC-007S.JPG[/attachment:3oeb4olj]

It's hard to read the meter but it's pinned and the platter is spinning around at least 2X line voltage (120+ rpm).

Lee, I think Pacific Stereo has the IC I need still, It's gonna be about $60. The arm with the weight is probably sold, the entire servo is gone,

Actually, the search found it, sorta spendy with the whole arm though.

They want $450 OBO for a complete 610.

I have an SL-1300 that won't be hard to fix (w/o the return) and that was the Technics I always wanted, this one was the Pioneer I'd never seem,

I've got at least six stereo phonos, an RCA Victor stereophonic New Orthophonic portable (not working) and a mono Silvertone and a big RCA Victor 7 HF 45 stereo-convertable phono console, I probably have some to give?

PS-This guy does tend to price high but he has good service and I got a grab bag of several Teac parts I needed badly for my 2340 and he has neat parts.

Man, I wish I'd known about your counter weight for the arm issue, I just junked one in the trash 2 weeks ago, I got tired of stubbing my toe on the TT being on the floor and chucked it to the curb :cry:
