| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Well I have to admit – I did it !! I helped the idler drive tts die. But in my defence I’ll say you had to be there ………it was a different time ………Since the 50s I had listened to records on a typical British radiogram, cheap idler drive tt, full ra... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Goughary,Nice to hear about the double SME, glad it worked out.I would not want to cut an L70, I reserve that for the much more common 75. The AT could have been made for it, that was a lucky day for me!http://www.freewebs.com/bornin50-3/index.... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Goughary,AT1005, fits the Lenco L70 collar. Very easy fix, I even use the Lenco lift/lower. Regards | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Fishwinker,From your wiring above it seems like you have a European motor set for 220v. What is your local a.c.? Is the Lenco in it's original plinth, with the springs intact? Have you removed the motor to test on the bench? Did it still vibrat... | |
| Lenco G68 any info would help? Hi,Never heard of a G68. Is this tt a GL68? Check for speed control on the right hand side of the platter. If so, it is a light platter version which is ok, but not one of the models folks are buying for high end sound.Regards | |
| Bang for buck turntable? Hi,Good advice above, here's another thought fwiw ........Plug and play transcription deck with xlr preamp built in - sounds like an EMT 950 would fit the bill, although I don't know if 3K would buy it. Hiring could be an option.Regards | |

If your electronics have any tone controls or filters, do they have any effect when the 'sound' is active? I'm getting a 'subsonic stylus in t... | |

| Curious about Russco turntables in a home setting Hi Short answer is yes but - work needed to make them domestic(ish)Do they look like this one? (from the home despot thread)http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~erickson/projects/cuemaster/Regards | |
| Tonearm recommendations for TD 150 Hi Your first click should be to http://www.theanalogdept.com/Nice deck, if you remove the TP13 and put it on the kitchen scales it should weigh about 250gm. The arm board is about 150gm. Your new arm and board should be close to the total wt of t... | |
| Garrard Zero-100 speed control problem Hi This is purely a cycles per second problem - the speed needs to reduce so you will need a smaller motor pulley. The decks were supplied with two pulleys - the alternate frequency one packed in a plastic bag, easy to lose/discard. Turntable Basi... | |
| Review: Thorens TD-185 Turntable Hi FwiwThat looks like a re-badged Dual 400 series to me - the arm is certainly a dead ringer. This just makes me sad. Ah well. Nice to get such an honest review, glad to see you got the refund. | |
