Turntable - Reverse Motor

[Steerpike]

The PL570 also uses an FG pickup, but a dual pickup. Why they use this type could be for several reasons, but the most likely is that a single FG pickup head is sensitive to any eccentricity (off centre-ness) in the tacho track/stripe. Using a dual sensor allows you to eliminate any error due to that eccentricity.

@directdriver

Just came across this thread and read about your dilema.....

You can get one of these new Technics reverse kits from 4thstateaudio.

It simply plugs into the main board - reverse is selected with the start-stop switch.
