Almost time to arm the Victor TT 101


Hey everybody!

Three years ago or more, I got my Victor TT 101 back from JP. Chakster sold me one of his and it went directly to JP to get overhauled. Exterior mint condition. It took JP forever to finish it, with good reason. He said he'd never worked one that had this many issues. With each fix, something else failed or wouldn't work. But, he accomplished the impossible and sent it to me where it would sit for a couple more years as I was too scared to set the arms and carts. I'm a deer in headlights when it comes to this stuff, I really am. I can't seem to find anyone locally to guide me through the setup process and I was too drunk and high (sober now) to dare align things myself.

My friends, life is different now. I've got clarity and a little courage. With the help of my Russian friend, were gonna get my new arm boards bored, arms fixed and carts aligned! I've got a nice Victor UA-7082 that will go nice on that table. Not sure the other arm, I've got many, maybe my Technics EPA 100? Sony perhaps. I've got a Victor UA-7045, might go that route as well. Plenty of vintage carts to choose from. After all these years, finally listening to those too! 

Plinth is original with a fresh Teak veneer. Looks sharp. I'd say I'll have it up and spinning within a month or so. Pretty excited!

@knollbrent  whichever arm you choose from the ones you have you will land upright and unharmed.
When you have completed the front-end share some photos.

Thank you @best-groove I appreciate the vote of confidence. I do like to take as much time as needed plus the Russian will be assisting from long distance.
