| Whats on your turntable tonight? Emerson, Lake & Palmer https://a.co/d/5kYiush Wasn’t until I got it in my hands I realized it was cut from digital sources not studio tapes (aren’t they all these days?). Still, fifty years (more) since I played a cassette tape of this rec... | |

| SME V service manual/parts list Gotta say it really helped talking to someone who has rehab'd hundreds (thousands) of these tonearms and discuss some of the details of the workings of the things. THAT made a world of difference. Kudos to Alfred for not trying to make me out to... | |
| SME V service manual/parts list Long talk with Alfred Kayser at SME tonearms just now. Sage advice: don’t F with it, use a digital scale. May send in for rebuild/wiring soon. thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. | |

| SME V service manual/parts list Thanks. Looks like that’s where this is headed. interesting though that This information is available for the older arms. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Started out with Little Feat. Electrif Lycanthrope, then Waiting for Columbus. Something or other got my attention in a riff and I wound up playing The first half of Explosions in the Sky's "Those who tell the truth shall die... those who tell t... | |
| Benz Micro Glider Stylus protection Ah, I forget this hobby is rife with (some) jerks and losers… but thanks for the tip buddy. | |
| SME V service manual/parts list Thanks. That's the END-user manual, not the service manual. | |
| Benz Micro Glider Stylus protection @solypsa So far so good. | |
| Benz Micro Glider Stylus protection Thanks. I have a cover, it’s just a little nerve-racking handling the thing, especially with neuropathy (malaria meds 30 years ago). It’s not like a Colt 1911 sear I can drop and not worry about it bouncing off the bench onto the floor. |
