| Questions to J.A. Michell turntable owners... I don’t believe you can post a photo on this site....I have only one ’O’ ring drive ’belt’. Not really a ’belt’ as one would think of it.

| Questions to J.A. Michell turntable owners... best-groove. Thank you. Your english is just fine. I understand you perfectly. I may try a gentle soap type cleaner on a few cotton balls and gently press them into the platter grooves where the 'O' rings runs. I'll let you know how dirty the... | |

| Fix it or not, my CJ Premier 11a Amp? You need to repair and keep this amp. It is a very musical amp indeed! I had the privilege to own one last decade. Had to sell it during the melt down in 2009 due to a job loss. (Feed family or listen to music type of choice.) | |
