Who dat? Mario, I was thinking, now that I am getting close to a two or three armed monster, you covered the platter with the mu-metal. Did you try to cover the motor first - i.e., attach shielding to the bottom of the Lenco's top plate over the m...

Hey Jean, I was looking at your system pics again and realized that you may already have the answer to a question that I have been mulling over. ON the GL88, did you discover anything in regard to screwing it to the plinth? Specifically, did you u...

Seems like I've read good things lately about the JJ 7591. Otherwise the NOS supposedly rule. Nonetheless, I think the EL34 is basically a better sounding tube.Mike

Yessir, I made one last casual side trip to the thrift store before I left NY. A 400C and garrard changer in a small cabinet - in perfect condition - for all of $47. Looks like the owner burnt out the original power tubes and just pushed the whole...

Hey Mario, you might want to avoid sealing the plastic wheel with anything that has a lot of solvent in it. It probably wont melt the wheel but could possibly weaken/warp it. Mike

Mario and Peter, why not do both - and test for sonics? Once the programming is done any metal can be cut. I can recall reading somewhere that someone (a high end manufacturer) prefered Al to steel for sonics. Arthur Salvadore only recommends the ...

YMMV, but my HD doesnt carry anything in liquid form bigger than the little epoxy syringes. What ever you do, dont buy your epoxy from a marine chain store - systems like West System are much cheaper from wood working sources. Mike

Peter et al, It seemed to me when I saw a cut down Lenco top plate for the first time that one could fairly easily replace the Lenco top plate with aluminum sheet. I have worked 6mm Al sheet at home and making small holes on a drill press is a cin...

Hey Jean,Glad to see you back. An interesting post - as always. I did something similar on my stalled G99 project that may be of interest to the fellers. You can now buy a semi-solid two part epoxy that looks kind of like a candy bar. You tear off...
