@jazzguy43 If you need a blank disc, check out Ebay for a Donna Summer 12" single side on the Casablanca label. You can get one for under ten bucks. I use this for adjusting anti-skate. 
Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting
If you don’t want lowballers, just list BUY IT NOW. That’s the way I always list an item! 
Time to upgrade the old Dual turntable, looking for opinions.

Can I use this amp in my house?
Your dealer told you wrong information. That amp does not use near 2400 watts. Here is the info showing 800 watts total . A 15 amp circuit is sufficient! https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/851/851a

+1 grannyring! 
Qs about Bias

Never disconnect the speakers. Most tube amps need a load when turned on! You should not worry about a few mv's with the tubes. 
What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
Return it and get something else within that price range. Something like this!http://www.needledoctor.com/Rega-Planar-1-Turntable?sc=2&category=353 
Need to upgrade Phono section of Rogue Cronos mag

Upgrade sugestion please
I’ve never had any problem with any type of music including rock. I am not aware of this metallic sound that you are describing.Another nice speaker that I have owned is the Spendor 3/5r2,which is a little more laid back than the Harbeth.http://ww...
