| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones sorry, didn't mean to over burden it. subtle humor often gets lost over the net, and there is a lot of surprisingly ignorant assumptions that get bandied about 'round here by the innocent.

| What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable? Teres,thank you for your obviously informed input.

| Kuzma Confusion don't know what's changed but it's always a good idea to tae the strain off the motor by hand starting it before switching the motor on. Most motors will thank you by remaining trouble free for much longer. | |
