RCA LSC 1903 
Zappa Recommendations ?
The only early Zappa record I dislike is Rueben And The Jets.I think the Op could be enamored with The Illinois Enema Bandit?

Believe it or not the first unit I ran with them to test them was a NAD 7140. The NAD being the great little unit it is drove them effortlessly.I will continue to use my group of amps.  
Zappa Recommendations ?
What bigtwin said. Zappa's best stuff is his verve releases, and early Warner's Bizarre.Roxy54's recommendation is an excellent choice. Burnt Weenie mentioned above is excellent. But to blow off stuff because of vocals for Zappa is an unusual choi... 
Herbert Downes, Jacqueline Du Pré PCSD 1499 Thrift Store Find
I still have this. I need to spin it tonight.

Nice find I guess........where are the Emoji’s. Leaner?I have only ever had a couple small Speakers that were worth keeping, Kef 102’s, and Tannoy system 800’s so what I am going by for comparison is limited.Still nice find for a junk shop to say ... 
Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality?
I have pair of JBL 4311's with one tweeter with a slight dimple. and one that does have a side push. You know what? They sound fine. And they will bring $400-$600 just the way they are.This all depends on what speakers, and the severity of the dent.

Not working now. I bought the wrong laser replacement. Need the one that allows the disc to snap onto the spindle. Might need a new cable. I have no idea where to get the cable.

I never did mention my very modest, but I think excellent kit. A Yamaha CR 2040, and pair of NS 1000's.And I have a Sansui AU 919. Both great Amps in my book, and the speakers are excellent, and best of all I have less than $130 in all three.

Oddly no problem mostly. It works great. If anything it likes to completely skip the first track, but this malfunction is very rare. I just restart the disc. Still a grand and it can't play certain discs? For what I paid I have had zero complaints...

That last sentence is telling. Again, if I paid $$$ for this I would not be happy. I consider at my price point there will never be buyers remorse. PS Audiogon: I hate that I can't edit my title. Or my posts. I am a lousy typist, and was completel...

It was not reading discs. Rega Apollo, Initializing, would spin the disc, and read No-Disc. I thought if it didn't work I could still get some coin for it.After some Googling I found a You Tube Video where an owner of the Apollo located in England...

I am sorry. Rega. I was dead tired when I posted this message last night. 
Yamaha DSP-A1 Find
I flip all the time. I sold a Luxman L80V the other day. I will get the display right, and probably move this along. I am fine with Denon for now. Denon has the same power rating. And and does for all channels.
