The tonearm is probably aluminum, which can be anodized(I think) You can look it up on Google. The illumination for the speed, is probably chrome plated plastic. The tonearm is not made by SME. You also have to consider the tonearm wires. They are fragile and very small.

Just thought of something. Anadizing is only for aluminum. I believe irriditing is the process for steel. If you still interested, I can check the tonearm as to whether it's steel with a magnet, HOWEVER, if it's stainless steel, it's not attracted to stainless.

They are asking this because anodising is especially suited to aluminium alloys, but not to steel.

Anodising can be done in various colours and finishes. Steel can be chrome plated, shiny or dull, and also plated with other coloured finishes such as cadmium.

The tone arm in this photo of the SL-1200Mk2 looks to be chromed, which means it is steel. To find out use a small magnet at the midway point to see if an attraction can be felt.

Just thinking about this again, the base is definitely aluminum, the tonearm shell may be steel, but if it's stainless, it's not magnetic. The outer part of the pop-up is probably made of the same material as the tonearm outer material. I think I have one of those. If I do, I'll let you know. My opinion, for what it's worth, leave it alone, or paint it, if you really have to make it unique.

Hi i have a sanyo tp825du turntable and the platter keeps spinning when tone arm is at rest. What is the issue that causes this and what do i need to do to fix it. Thanks guys.

When the tone arm returns to its base it should contact a small micro switch which turns off the motor. Going underneath the platter you should find the switch, either bent out of place or broken.

Wurlitzer jukebox 1015 78rpm records needle does not start at the begining sometimes starts 1/2" in. How do I adjust tone arm

If you study the screws around the cradle that the tone arm sits in you will see that it is adjustable. This determines where the tone arm is when the record comes up. If the machine was always wrong like this it may have been set for 45rpm records. You need to adjust the whole tone arm post with the screw that goes up into the base of the post..

Uniden cordless phone with answering machine sends out FAX tone

Try disconnecting the power from the back of the base. Then press and hold the delete key while reconnecting the power. When power comes back on press play one time. If that does not work, your unit needs to be replaced.

Single wheel will not lock into place

The first thing I would suggest would be to make sure the black knob above the front wheel is not pushed in but popped up. Secondly, I would try to clean the front wheel fork and inside the base. This is a routine procedure to upkeep the stroller. All you need to do is wipe down the short metal stick that locks into the base of the stroller and inside the base itself and then put some Vaseline around the short metal stick and inside the base. Hopefully, that should do the trick.

Fisher turntable M-720 need to set weight and return levels

Hi mariahom

Setting the tracking force is an easy task. Try this method.

first thing to do with the tone arm sitting above its rest, rotate the weight on the end of the tone arm until the tone arm is balanced in the middle. neither up nor down, just right in the middle.
calibrate the numbered rotating collar on the weight so that 0 is exactly on the reference line on the tone arm.
then turn the weight and numbered collar together to the tracking force that you are seeking. Most moving magnet cartridges need at least 1.5grams of weight. Set it for 2 grams if you are unsure of what your is or needs.
adjust the anti skate dial(if you have one) to the same number as the tracking force you are using.

At this point you should be able to gently bounce the tone arm on your index finger(not above the record of course). This is about all there is to it.

I am more than happy to answer any other questions you may have about it, please get back to me here, or use the ASK function to go straight to me :) If you are still unsure, have problems, or we need to look at the situation more deeply, then before you give a rating for this advice, hit the ASK button Thanks for using FixYa, If you consider the advice I have given you as sound, a FixYa rating is a great reward for my efforts to help you.
