Taking The Pioneer Sk-51 & SK-71 & Making 1 Good One!

[Lasonic TRC-920]

I love that front console above the deck. LED's, sliders, buttons, more led lights and then the tuner display & top controls are TOTALLY reserved and classy.

Dual antenna's and are those MIC'S IN THE FRICKEN HANDLE????????

Bad ass box!

Nice i also love Pioneer boxes most of the sk series boxes especialy the 31 51 71 95 800 900 share the same deck what i have found most of the time is belts on these decks one of the belt needs to be a thick one with just the right tension, I used a thin one a bit tight and found it would turn the play wheel and kept on turning. if you want to know where it is look at your deck and on the righthand side you will see a little wheel that turns once you hit play. Notice that if you have a weak or worn belt that wheel will not turn all the way getting the deck stuck that wheel is what activates the deck ,I have had it turn and get caught and with a small screwdriver helped it finish turning. If you open the deck apart the belt that turns that wheel is a thick belt, so by the looks of it once that belt starts to stretch it will not complete the turn on the wheel leaving it half way though its the travel causing the deck to not work correctly. If you don't have access to a thick belt you can use a regular one with enough tension but not to tight if not you will have that wheel turning and not stopping where it needs to stop. Like I said before I been though this a couple of times but since I know this mine have worked with no problems. There is another issue that I had a long time ago where the deck went crazy and did not work traced it down to a transistor on the board that sits on deck so I hope this post helps for those that have these boxes.

Thanks for the info monchito! It's these sort of info tidbits that help narrow down the troubleshooting steps!

Cheers!
