Hi,

I want to bring my Marantz SLT 12 back to life.
Before I write down a number of questions, Is somebody out there,
who has a remarkable experience with it, or knows a US-forum which
might help?

Thanks in advance,
Big T from GERMANY

Thanks Wayne,
Here are the questions:
1.)How much oil is required for the turntable bearing?
Which is the best oil for it?
2.)I lost the ball of the bearing, what is the exact diameter?
3.)The ball was far away from beeing round, are there any "reproductions" available?
4.)In the internet I saw some pictures, which might show a U- Version, with a universal headshell. Is this headshell available,
because my set works only with the SHURE MB 71.
5.)How can I get out the MB 71, I don´t wanna damage something?
6.)Where can I get a service manual?
7.)In the arm housing is a magnet to hold the headshell. This
magnetic field is not good for the system. Does anybody know
a better solution to hold the arm?

Thanks in advance and happy week-end from Germany,

Thorsten

The service manual says that the ball bearing for the SLT12 is .281"
It also says that the bearing well should have about 3/4cc of"Moly Spindle Oil No. 95" from Allube Corporation of America.

I did a google search. Apparently, Allube no longer exists.

I'm thinking about using ISO 22 Moly Spindle Oil from Schaeffer at www.schaefferoil.com.

I ordered a service (repair) manual from Radio Era Archives in Dallas Texas. I also ordered an owners manual from Audio Classics.

The cartridge in the SLT 12 is a Shure V15II. Stylus for this cartridge may be ordered fron Jico in Japan (www.export-japan.com). They also sell a hyper-elliptical stylus for the V15II. I think I may use their stylus rather than trying to wrest the current cartridge free from the headshell. I do not think it will come off without damage.

I don't know what harm the magnet in the arm housing would cause. I plan to get my turntable up and running, then try the turntable with and without the housing to see whether I am able to hear the difference.

Good Luck
