See if you can get a electrometer, which measures static charge in coulombs or at least a gold-leaf electroscope, then use it to determine if the charge imbalance originated with the mat or the records.
Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable!
Howdy folks!
Lotta static with the TT. Rush lifted the rubber mat right off the SL Technics 1200 GR table tonight! I live in Miami Florida with a billion percent humidity. I keep the humidity at 55 to 60 percent while I'm gone and drop it to 45 percent asap. Better grounding? Better wall socket? Pre play were dead of static. Lifting it, it's charged!
Thanks,
Brent
