Does anyone have any experience with going through Panasonic (or, if such a thing exists, Panasonic-authorized repair shop) as opposed to a specialty turntable repair place? Not to say either place Tom mentioned is a bad idea; I've always been impressed by the customer service at KAB. I would assume with the ubiquity of SL-1200s, a closely related Technics product might enjoy reasonable service from many shops. Can anyone confirm yay or nay?
(stepping back for a second for those unaware, Technics is a part of Panasonic)
Thanks, Jim another SP-15 user

Lou -- I would suggest you call Kevin at KAB: http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/
Kevin knows Technics very well and can either fix the problem, help you fix the problem or send you
to someone who can fix the problem.
You could also try Russ at NJ Factory Service: http://www.njfactoryservice.com/contact.html
Russ may know where to find obscure parts or have some on-hand. He specializes in Teac but has
access to Technics parts, I think.
Good luck!

OH NO! My beloved SP-15 has come down with the dreaded run-away speed
syndrome. I sold and SP-10 years ago when it caught the malady (sadness)
...but I want to hang on to my 15. Anyone know of a primary fix...new caps?
Or might it be some proprietary Technics IC, long out of production.
Any help from this august body? Thanks.

Doug Pomeroy forwarded this to me this morning, and I know that this
should be here on the ARSCList because of Martin's his long service to ARSC.

I am very sorry to tell you all that Martin Silver, former Music Librarian at UC Santa Barbara, passed away Tuesday, February 17, 2009, from cancer. Martin established the Music Library at UC Santa Barbara and was its head until his retirement (in 1992, I think). In his retirement he carried on a successful book business, Martin A. Silver, Musical Literature. I was at the UCLA Music Library when Marty came west and I also became a specialized music book dealer on my retirement. Over the years we became pals and shared a variety of activities that included a lot of music (playing together and concert going -he was a fine flutist). We sometimes collaborated in the book business. Active in MLA, his most recent job for the organization was convention manager. I will miss him as I know many of his MLA colleagues will. Condolences can be sent to his children, Jessica Silver, 2802 Brewster Ave., Redwood City, CA 94062 and Will Silver, 1120 E. Ortega St., Santa Barbara 93103
