So, I recently bought an old Telefunken s600 hifi. I have not yet received it, and it is an object in need of some reparation. Main thing is that the tone arm, Ortofon As-212 (which seem highly popular by the way?) needs fixing since the bearing housing has been damaged (they seem to become brittle over time). I thought that maybe I would post a thread here with pictures etc. when I am trying to repair this unit, probably mostly for myself to be able to go back and look at pictures, but maybe someone else (now or in the future) would interested in seeing that too. I will update as I get the product which is being sent by mail.

I recently purchased a rotel rp-2300 and my current AV receiver Yamaha htr-6230 did not come with a phono input so I purchased a fjb-200x phono pre-amp to get the table up to line. The only issue I am having is that when I plug the red and white RCA into my AV receiver I only get sound sound from both speakers when I only have the white cable plugged in. It works but I'm sure I'm getting only the left side in both speakers. As soon as I plug the red cable in the sound goes to one side. I tried multiple ports and still the same issue. I purchased a new RCA cable and nothing changed. It couldn't be my AV receiver because I tested the RCA ports with another device. Also I don't think it's the turntable because when I plug into the RCA ports with no preamp it goes to both speakers it's just very low volume. I'm just confused as to why it goes to both speakers when only the left is plugged in? Before I purchase another pre amp I was wondering if anyone had this issue before and if there is an easy fix?
