Supratek Chardonnay ins & outs

Tube glows cherry red...then it doesn't ?
It sounds like the tube lost bias and went wide open. That is very hard on the tube. I agree that it could be a bad connection between the socket and grid pin of the tube or somewhere further back in the bias circuits. FatParrot's ideas are good. ...

Removing mold from LPs?

mV output from cartridge, please explain
Ok, I found this in a book I bought a few years ago called "The LP is Back!" It contains a reprint of an article from Stereophile vol. 1 no. 8 by J. Gordon Holt. It says that the maximum recording level is a peak recorded velocity of about 20 cm/s...

rega planar 2 - platter won't turn
The belt could indeed be slipping, but possibly because the extra weight of the platter causes the spindle to lock up because it is dry and you need to lubricate it. 
Who will survive? One last table til I die.
You have a fine analog system, and since Sota is still in business, why not contact them about about bringing your table up to current standards if it isn't already. Then purchase whatever parts they predict may wear out in the next 25 years (moto...
