Advice & help on EMT turntables

[Mosfet91]

Hi,

I have an EMT938 and it's making a rumbling noise on the right channel, only when the platter is spinning. Can you advise where I should start looking to troubleshoot this fault? I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks
Chris

Rumble can’t emanate from the turntable as it’s a direct drive design. Check if the platter is rotating freely or if there is any mechanical obstruction. If it’s all ok, the problem could be in the signal path where rumble sort of noise is heard.

Hi all!
My first post here so please be gentle
I am about to buy a 938 with SME3009II non improved tonearm. I am looking for a spare armboard so i, in the future can mount the original EMT arm.
There is a challenge: Iˋll drive a long way to meet him and i know he does not have much knowledge about transporting it. Is there a manual in English that explain how to secure the turntable(transport screws)?
Thanks for any answers.

Hope this helps. It shows you the 3 screws to be tightened for the chassis and another 3 for the motor.

Folks,

I know that quite a number of members have managed to get an Ex-AIR EMT turntable. Most of them are not in good shape - cosmetically or functionally.

I have had the privilege of owning more than half a dozen EMT machines of various types. All of them have been serviced and brought up to prime condition by myself. This involved years of reading, talking to ex EMT engineers and practically trying out on my systems and sometimes buying very expensive spare parts from Germany.

I keep getting lot of messages from forum members wanting to talk and answer some of their questions and possibly some solutions.

This thread is being created to help any of the EMT owners on restoration, repair, spares, maintenance etc. of their EMT machines. Please feel free to post here. I will try my best to answer them or give you a solution.

EMT is a world of it's own. Most of it is unique to the design, right from tonearm cable to headshell. Every spare is very expensive. I can feel how it is to own a EMT and not being able to play or use it in a sub-optimal way. Hence this thread.

Cheers

Can be done. If you are into DIY, you can do it yourself. Where are you based?
