I'm still enjoying not having to scurry over to lift the tonearm after the last song on the side!

Ifor there is a post for 'technics sl-7 with runaway speed.' You can read it online, it seems to be a temporary fault that can be fixed with some internal servicing as you suspected.

I am currently enjoying the AAM Brandenburg Concertos on 1980's vinyl. Very listenable on the SL-7 with AT95, not the very last word in detail but pretty good I can distinguish the various period instruments and hear the hall acoustic.

Thanks Jon. I think this is the guy I would contact about service now, if needed. http://www.mpavservice.co.uk/ If I remember correctly he used to work for Technics.

Thanks Ifor, it's good to know someone you can involve if needed. Lets hope it was a one-off.

One of the pleasures of having the SL-7 is being able to play some singles without any tracing distortion. I will be trying some tomorrow which will probably highlight the fact my RCM doesn't clean 7 inch records, motivating me to solve that puzzle next.

The SL-7 has done a fine job today playing some of my seven inch singles. I ran an M6 bolt through a wood offcut and added layers of heatshrink to the bolt so a 7 inch single can be manually rotated through my RCM's ultrasonic bath and subsequent blow dry. It worked well as demonstrated by the 'before and after' playing of Golden Brown by the Stranglers.

I have also had a good look at the noise floor between tracks of a couple of clean LP's. Even with Vinylstudio's rumble filter switched off I couldn't see any issues with 50 Hz or multiples of it so I think I'll stick with the internal mains transformer for now. I have the external supply I made for my SL1210 and parts for a female to male adapter that reverses the dc polarity so the dc feed option is still open on my SL-7.
