Shew quite the post revival, brought back from the dead :D I eventually sold this turntable as is, have bought and sold quite a lot since then currently have a Linn LP12, another Ariston (RD80SL with SME Series III tonearm) and a Rega Planar, sadly 2 of the 3 just sit in a cupboard and I...

Thought I'd pop this here, I installed a Victron 5KVA inverter during Covid 2020 with 16 x 365W Canadian Solar panels & 3 x US3000 Pylontech batteries (total capacity 9.6kwh) I run my entire home through it including 2 x geysers and my stove, what it can't supply from the inverter it pulls from...

I obsessed over RCM brushes for a long time, tried a lot of the DIY options (paint brush etc) then imported the Osage cleaning brush which is essentially the same as a paint brush with cut off bristles. I never really noticed a major difference between brushes so in my view don't over think it...

Agree it's very cumbersome to add photo's could be made a lot simpler.

Yeah pretty much know the dealers, by the same token I guess you don't want to start a new group of "non dealers" who have admins that do the very same thing, perhaps have like you suggest a Whatsapp group and when LP's are listed its available too all at equal measure.

I think a major problem with these groups is that dealers quickly get onto it, somehow become admins and then by default become first in line for the stuff which screws it up for regular off the street buyers. I'd be keen on a non dealers / end users only group for sure, have quite a lot in my...

My bad missed that

I've always liked these, what tonearm is on there?

This actually looks pretty cool, had a look at it on Youtube https://youtu.be/M_cYJkf4jNA?t=112 USD50 though  :vsad:

Wow that's amazeballs  :clap:

I searched high and low and never found anything here, try the velvet strips but make sure you use a decent glue.

I built one probably around 5-6 years ago, I think I posted it on the forum somewhere. At the time I bought velvet strips from a material shop which worked but not very well, the strands were a little too short for my liking and also the glue didn't hold very well, perhaps I used the wrong type...

Aaah I was wondering if it was perhaps the same TT, it's a nice table that would be a shame to see it split up.

Maybe when advertising offer it with a price for the complete turntable and then offered with prices broken down by individual component and sale of individual components subject to all of it being sold, I quite often see sales like that on things like stereo setup's.

Yup, but includes the inner platter and odd nuts n bolts, I can think of far better ways to spend R15K, but the die hard Linn fans are going to lap this one up :D...
