I sent the seller a message too, since the item didn't sell and it was relisted with the same price and same description. If they've been notified at least twice that the disc won't play properly but ...

Hmm okay, I must have just not noticed it until I opened up the stylus arm to get at the cartridge. It's definitely not there on the 090, I can see the holes in the arm where it would go but there's ...

Been a while since I had any time to work on this, but in the meantime I got another short stack of discs in... so now I'm even more determined to get this working!

Looks like that seller's whole strategy is to price things (very) optimistically and talk up their rarity, but leave the "Best Offer" option available. Nearly every item they've sold used t ...

Alright! So after a bit of cleaning I was able to put the belt from the SKT-090 on this new player. I think someone stuck a new belt on the SKT-090 at some point, because the felt ring between the s ...

Oh yeah, that was most definitely a belt issue. It totally disintegrated into a sticky tar. I'm thinking the good belt from my SKT-090 ought to fit once I get it cleaned up though.

I'll keep that in mind... hopefully the pickups are still good, since I'd imagine those can't be easily replaced.
