Re: Nothing In Particular

Stupid design

Re: backwards to the future

Steve, would either of my type 3 lencos be of use? The great big one and the one i had the linear arm on are not in use at the moment. Equivalent to your 88 if you wanted to borrow either of them to use. Save you having to bugger about making a plinth. The big one is cream chassis and dark oak plint...

Re: what are you doing ?

Interestingly, the arm/cart/jbe combo sounds more immediate, abit more dynamic and abit more forward than the lenco/arm/cart does. The bass is a little deeper, thats because i have set it up so the cart isnt slightly nose down this time, but it hasn't lost anything from being set up this way The mor...

Re: what are you doing ?

I got abit bored today and was tidying through a load of my many boxes bits and pieces. I was chucking bits and pieces that have been in one of the boxes for god knows how long. I found a small 5 pin locking connector, which set wheels turning, so I decided to replace the awful old connector on the ...

Re: Reel to reel

Found another little problem this morning. I opened it up again as I realised I hadn't oiled the motor. I'd had it on my list, but not ticked it off. I tend to look at a job for a while first thing before I do anything, then write everything down as a checklist these days with the kids being in all ...

Re: Reel to reel

Well the restoration on this machine is now complete. Last job was to get some servisol and go through all the pots and switches, as there were dropouts every now and then from the monitor switches (it was still recording but the sound through the speakers dropped out until the monitor switches were...

Re: Nothing In Particular

Decided to make a new input switching box today as I needed some more inputs and another output for tape deck. I was using a pair of plug in splitters to get it working with the old one, and the rats nest behind it was getting on my nerves. I also integrated a separate switch section to connect 2 tt...
