Pioneer reel turntables
« on: November 03, 2010, 07:51:49 PM »
Hi, Is anybody familiar with the reel turntables for the RT-1050? I have need of the turntable assemblies or at least the screw, spring and twist lock. I have a set where they have been broken off flush with the cast part. Not sure if I can extract the broken off screw from the threaded hole. The bottom part with the three vanes to engage a standard reel and even the top of the post with little notches to work with the bottom of the plastic piece all seem OK.
I think these are the same as the turntables on the RTU-11 transport (RT-2022, RT-2044) and the RT-1020 and RT-1011 series.
I wonder if other Japanese recorder assemblies might work as well? (the twist locks - not the whole turntable)

Hi Steve,
I believe that the turntables of all the Pioneer 10.5" reel models are interchangeable.
You should be able to buy some from folks like Rolf at Vintage Texas or Reel Pro Sound. I didn't see any listed on their web sites but it's always best to email those guys since it must be a real job and a half to update parts.
