All my vinyl ripping is done with my SL-7. I don’t have to be there to lift the arm at end of a side.
Update: My son has asked me to rip the last four or five LPs he’s purchased so I decided to get started with this a few minutes ago, but the SL-7, which hasn’t been used for a few weeks has developed a serious fault. I pressed start and the LP started spinning way too fast, my guess would be in the order of 100 RPM and fortunately, probably, the arm did not drop. So I now have a useless piece of 1980s HiFi.

I was considering phono sockets in place of the OEM leads. Now I am thinking Tone Arm Connector as I could use the leads from my SME arm. Also it will include the chassis ground wire.
Should have guessed the 12v car battery connector has negative pin/positive outer. It would be too easy otherwise!

that's bad news.
I have been lucky as far as HiFi goes the only bit of kit that I have had problems with was a Philips CD player (my first CD player) but I was going to up grade it at the time anyway so it was not too bad for me.

If you do find anything out I would be interested. There’s not many people that work on these old linear trackers anymore. My SL-7 was more than serviced by someone that Bob recommended to me, but he’s not operating anymore. I’ve had an SL-QL1 and a couple of SL-D1s looked at by someone in Bristol. Two of them are currently working.

I am glad your perseverance paid off Ifor. I hope it was a temporary fault. I will check the forums later and report back. I must confess that I am enjoying my SL-7 at the moment to play Kate Bush's never forever.

Earlier today I measured my two P-mount cartridges. Both had similar coil resistance and inductance on their left and right channels. 30dB channel separation on both sides of the AT95, whereas the Technics 202 was 25/30. It makes me wonder whether a better stylus would lift the Audio Technica from solid to sophisticated?
