Micro Seiki Bl-21 Series Tables I

Looks to be a basic belt driven table using an FG Servo for speed control.

No suspension or anything, just a good foundation table that looks to be very well made.

Will fit the Jelco SA-750D with a Sound Smith modded DENON DL-103R Ruby CL.

Years ago I had a BL-51 and could kick my butt for selling it.

You should scan it and send to Vinyl Engine as they do not have a BL-21 in their library.

Ive looked for info on the BL-21 in the past, but always came up empty.

Check the link below for a list of Micro tables that includes all of the BL series tables I know of, but no BL-21.

Nice choice. Please post a picture and let us know your thoughts.

Dean. reelsmiths axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.

The only place I found info on the BL-21 was in a catalog on the Vinyl Engine.

Its not in English, but it shows the table and the fact that you could get it with or without a tonearm.

The supplied arm was a low-mass arm that looks of the early 80s era.

It was all factory sealed.but only the outside Micro shipping carton was sealed (with huge staples).

The table it self was only sealed via the string ties on the box.

Could this have been a MICRO refurbished table or B-Stock by chance.

The Jelco comes with a nice plastic mounting template and locating pin that make it very easy I got the arm dead centered in the arm board so it looks like it came from Micro that way One thing about the Micro Bl-21 turntable, it had been in storage, non-climate controlled storage, for many years.

The exposed side of the belt had turned to white powder and the bearing was pulled down into itself.

I recharged the bearing with some quality oil and all is fine.

Upon cutting the factory belt and measuring it, I found that a 25.75 was what I needed.

I am waiting for my DENON DL-103R to come back from the SoundSmith with the RubyCL treatment and than I can post some pics and give some impressions.

It sounds GREAT The DL-103R Ruby CL modified by the SoundSmith is OUTSTANDING on the Jelco SA-750D arm.

The quality is evident right away with the smooth and accurate platter runout.or lack of.

The strobe paterns do not dance around.
