RE: BIC 960 Turntable

Posted by Doug G. on December 16, 2011 at 11:05:17:

The original BIC 900 series tables are excellent and yes, these days, underrated.

Auto return issues are almost always caused by the parts on the big red cam getting contaminated by lubricants which gradually migrate there from other areas.

These parts MUST be absolutely clean and unlubricated to work correctly because the whole thing relies on friction.

Other issues are the tonearm landing in the 7" position all the time instead of at the 12" position when desired. This is, indeed, caused by hardened/gummy lubricants.

Any turntable, not just BICs, of that age will require cleaning and relubing to restore proper operation.
