I've got a weathers turntable that I'd like to know more about It uses the Weathers Professional Stereo System pickup (PS-11) which I understand works on a capacitive principle. Which explains the "polarizing supply" in the base, which includes two modules that presumably contain amplification circuitry. I've recapped the power supply but detect no output and without a schematic I can't see how to determine whether the problem is in the stylus or in the amplifiers, and if it's the stylus I suspect I'm out of luck anyhow. From reviews I've read it will track at 3/4 gram and was considered to be a high performance system when it was in production. It would be fun to get it working again - the very lightweight turntable certainly flies in the face of conventional wisdom.
I've found the manual on vinylengine but am caught by the usual Catch 22, I can't download it because I'm not a member, and they're not accepting new memberships. It probably doesn't disclose the contents of the modules but I'd like to have a copy anyhow if someone who is a member would be good enough to download it for me.
I'm curious if anyone has experience with the PS-11 or this turntable that uses it. Thanks, Bob.
