It seems to be in good condition, but the turntable does not rise when the<br />
door is closed (lever moved up from Load to Play). It does spin when the<br />
lever is brought down from Off to Play (with a disk already having been<br />
previously loaded), but it still remains at the base position, maybe 1/4"<br />
below the disk. I need to know what may be operating incorrectly / need<br />
repair, how to remove the turntable (if necessary), etc.<br />
Regarding the Zenith, it works fairly well, but stutters consistently at<br />
certain positions of the counter, mostly between 30 and 40. When I say that<br />
it stutters I mean that the video and audio jump slightly forward, sometimes<br />
losing a word or two of the dialogue, and sometimes this stuttering repeats<br />
several or more times before the play settles back to normal. [By the way,<br />
the Zenith's configuration/design is very much like the RCA, and they take<br />
the same stylus cartridge].<br />
I thought this problem might be due to a slipping stylus-transport motor belt<br />
(my phrase, it is the small belt driving the worm gear assembly) or maybe to<br />
uneven resistance as the stylus transport assembly is moved slowly forward<br />
(suddenly encountering less resistance, and thus the lurching forward and<br />
skipping of small segments of the audio/video). I figured that perhaps the<br />
worm gear or gear train might need lubrication to solve this, but don't know<br />
which type lube to use and how sparingly it should be applied, etc.<br />
Any insight anyone can provide will be most appreciated! Thank you.<br />
Best Regards,<br />

Subject: Pioneer cartridge laservision system?<br />
MIME-Version: 1.0<br />
I apologise for asking another laserdisc-related question in this <strong>CED</strong><br />
magazine, but again I feel this would be the best place to get a<br />
knowledgeable answer:<br />
My friend has a Pioneer laserdisc player he picked up used somewhere, and<br />
he's looking to possibly sell it. It is a large unit, that plays both<br />
laserdiscs and CD's. It also has an opening on the bottom left where some<br />
form of cartridges can be installed, but he has none of these cartridges
