But you brought some antique devices back to life.

Indeed, me too. Makes me wish I had a vintage 'table in need of a plinth. I'd love to see Tom's handiwork in that form!

I have that Dual 1019 that would look lovely on a custom plinth... But I'm in Canada and the Dual will probably go back into the cabinet it's lived in for the last 50-odd years.

They had those clap tests when I was at sea. Not a good thing to observe......

...different kind of clap. Marine clap just ain't the same.

How is the re-furb coming along?

How is the re-furb coming along?

I've got a bunch of joints cleaned and lubed, things happen when I turn switches. However I downloaded a strobe to my phone and the unit runs fast at all speeds. The pitch control is maxed out and doesn't help enough. I've read the manual several times and can't discern what the recommended procedure is. Apparently I need to raise/lower the speed spindle but I can't figure out how. Also I need a new trim ring for the platter mat, need to reattach the platter mat (or not... gravity works), the circlip that keeps the platter down is missing, and there's no single play spindle, just the one for stacking multiple LPs.

Oh, and I need a new needle for the M75ED 2 cartridge - apparently discontinued.

Ideally I'd like to get another cartridge sled and mount a 78 cartridge on it. I haven't done the research as to whether they are discontinued too... I've got about 50 78s I picked up at a garage sale that I haven't been able to listen to yet.

Very cool, notice I used pin protectors instead of styrofoam like someone complained about earlier. I am in the process of doing an ultrasonic cleaning on a large group of vinyl records prior to putting them in rice paper sleeves and adding album cover protectors.

He did not, I loaned him those tubes and as I recall only the British and French tubes were from Upscale, some came from TubeMonger. Many were given to me by a gentleman on this site.

All of that work will keep you out of trouble.
