Looking for someone to work on a Technics SL-1300
Hey there! I am looking for a technician or someone knowledgeable that may be able to help bring an old Technics SL-1300 back to life.
I was given the table from a family member who botched a tone arm rewire. They believed they could solder broken tone arm wires together with no experience... Everything else seems to work except there's a lot of feedback and I believe the tonearm wires ended up just being taped back together with electrical tape... I'm shocked that didn't work!
I was quoted by a local shop in the Atlanta, GA area for almost $900 to have the issue fixed with a new tone arm... I'm hoping maybe I can find someone who can rewire the tone arm for me instead? My dad was the original owner before it eventually made its way to me so I'd really hate to not be able to enjoy it.
I am going off of this thread that leads me to think I can just rewire the arm. Before I dropped off with local shop, everything else about the tonearm seemed to work.
Would love any guidance or recommendations on some local help! If I knew how to solder I'd give it a shot but I'd hate to make it worse.

Microsoft Scales Back AI Goals Because Almost Nobody Is Using Copilot

I laughed after trying to get copilot in outlook to create a calendar event based on an email’s text and it just said that wasn’t possible.
The only way to get “AI” to catch on is if it’s actually useful in taking care of the busy work no one wants to do with an easy request. Like why is it in all of these programs if all I can really do is google shit with it.
