A local estate sale posted on craigslist has one of those front loading Pioneer tables so if I bother going I might take a peak. Wouldn't get it even if I wasn't broke but it seems interesting. I think someone mentioned it in this thread.
Last night just for the "fun" of it I decided to take the cartridge off the JVC and try to put it on the Technics SL 1300 to test it out for a while. It seems to work fine apart from the middle barely missing on auto start but Im guessing that has something to do with cartridge alignment? With the current headshell there is no room for adjustment anyways. I might keep it hooked up a while for something different. I do like my JVC L-F101, just too bad there is almost no info online about it.
Took a pic from the worst side again just as a contrast to others in this thread.
I also took off the bottom last night to see about rewiring the tonearm and maybe painting the base but it looks a lot more complicated than the videos of the 1200 I watched. Bad lighting because its overcast and I don't have a light near my set up.
I think I actually posted that back before I had any tables to post and lately people have been finding it again but I never noticed the cartridge on it!
Sorry you have to pay so much there Jeep. MSRP is only $3700 in the US...but the new ones are not as nice as the vintage rosewood with down cushions...
