Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Fast_Mick,I think the Kenny 9010 has a metal chassis, same or similar to the Canadian 990??  Yes, coreless motor and nice performer, but you might want to keep or rebuild the plinth.  I have a 770d - straight arm version with removable headshell l...

I'd have to say I agree about replacing electrolytic caps.  Maybe I'll practice soldering on boards, but for now I don't feel competent.  My Tech was being a little facetious with the 80 year thing.  I'm of retirement age and he's a little older s... 
Adding mass to the Zeta counterweight
**I had a dream last night, in which I saw the counterweight with a brass bolt sticking out the back (through one of the holes in its back plate, if you remember what a Zeta cw looks like), at the bottom of the circle. A number of brass nuts were ...

Had an interesting conversation with my Tech yesterday. He's been fixing all kinds of stereo equipment for a long time. He's one guy I know who is actually older than me and wise in the ways of keeping equipment functional. He essentially said, if...

Nandric,To highlight your correction, the DL110 is extremely popular in the US. Those buyers would do well to note that 129 euros = $146.76 US dollars.The US price is now $300 from an authorized dealer.  Regards,

Dear Comrade Nandric,A small investigation was launched concerning the source of these "exotic" styli components. Some of us remember the trouble your friend Axel had in sourcing these miniature gems and rare metals. It's hard to say exactly if th...

Nandric,Because of Chakster?  I think you're reluctant to say because you know I'm right.  I'm pretty sure J Carr said something similar, but even if not, I'm still right. Here's how it is:  It's the wiggles/vibrations of the cantilever which exci...

Comrade Nickola,Just for the record, they weren't married at the time and it was her decision. Not sure if this gives me the moral high ground, but nobody cares anymore. Seems to me the potential for a MM to outperform a MC might have something to...

Pryso,The viability and/or liability of ground effects and spoilers on street racers is, in some ways similar to this discussion of tension wires.   Form follows function, or when is enough too much?  I had a '72 Firebird 350 and bought a factory ...

Pryso,I beg your pardon. AFAIK only in Calif is there Mexican jumping bean cars. I completely forgot, being firmly planted in the Right coast. I hope that's not politically incorrect to identify the cars as such. Well, not really.Good question abo...

Dear Comrade Nandric,"Low rider" is friendly?  More of an oxymoron methinks, like Hell's Angels. Ride like the wind, little stylus. Many miles before I sleep and the hour is fast upon us. Regards,
