Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc


Is anyone currently using it?
I have it on trial, the product is almost perfect NOS, but after about 7-8 minutes the LP loses its vacuum; is it necessary to also use a clamp to get the vacuum for the whole LP?

Lol ... you wrote a heresy; speed has nothing to do with it, it’s always a 12 "instead of 7"

it is important to communicate with whoever owns this item.
@lewm   I am interested in knowing from who is currently using it how long the vacuum lasts, I have to monitor the situation.
The rubber is very soft, without cracks or cuts, as soon as the vacuum is done I can lift the LP and the metal plate without problems.
@rauliruegas

well Rauliruegas I have read everything and you have been very clear, no added translations are needed.
I was confident as I read all of the threads here on audiogon and you always intervened by reading that you owned it.
I have to check if there is a nylon thread on the rubber outside the plate because I didn’t notice ... I’ll check.
The AT666 that was given to me in test has the manual pump and the electric pump so it is not necessary to look for extra pumps; and really like new or NOS in short.
If there was no thread I have to invent something to replace it; you who can see and touch the item with your hand would a nylon line for fishing rod be fine or is it better a rubber band?
Can you tell me approximately the thickness of your original thread?
Thank you very very much.


@jperry yeah N.P.
@rauliruegas very well, only the original nylon thread was missing, I solved it with a round elastic for men’s socks; now the vacuum holds exceptionally for over 25 minutes.
I am very happy, I really think I’ll buy it.
best-groove round elastic for men’s socks, what is that and where did you find it?

I apologize, I have only read in this moment.
I have owned it for a long time but you can find it in any resale of sewing threads and buttons, just ask.
This thread is very elastic about 5 or 6 tenths of a millimeter.

Also, I want the P3 shown in the teq advert.

@lewm that of the link is not the P3 but the PL 70II.

The P3 is the one I have in the photo in the avatar. :)
