I recently picked up a used VL12 turntable, cheap, and it has two issues. 1) the pitch LED doesn’t light when it’s locked. That one I can live with, but I would like to know if there’s a fix for it.
More importantly, 2) the tonearm is loose. It rattles a bit every time I touch it. I know it’s nearly impossible for anyone but an experienced tech pro to adjust the bearings and fix this issue, so I was wondering if a brand new replacement tonearm comes with that entire piece so I can just remove the old one and drop it in?
My other VL12 turntable is perfect; tonearm has zero rattle. Incidentally, that one has a white DENON DJ logo on the plinth. The one with the issues has a metallic, mirror-finish DENON DJ logo. Does anyone know the difference? I would think that one is an earlier run?
Thanks in advance!
