Phil, I don't have any photos of the side valve 4-stroke engine but better than that I'll bring it with me to Owston. I nearly bought one of the early prototype RSV engines at a model weekend show just before I gave up the hobby. I think they were about £120 at the time and when the designer was mak...

Don't get me started on big Italian Bikes now. I still haven't got my Aprilia ETV1000 back from the repairers since my accident in mid July. Most of the parts are still on back order with the factory and they don't expect to get the bike finished before mid November. Wonderful bike though it is, get...

For me in my youth the deck I lusted after was the Mitchell Hydraulic Reference. I remember it took me several months to save up for it and go along to Nottingham HiFi and buy one.

Sounded a bit like an expensive tranny radio at first, all tinny and no bass. Definitely, would have caught me out if you hadn't mentioned it. Ah! yes Andrew but, you have heard them when fully ran in and you know they can do bass. Stick with it mate. I cheated a little with mine. After they had ha...

Thanks Greg, Al and Max. I'll certainly consider some BMF types for the cartridge load and other critical locations and likely go for Kiwames in the other positions unless a Mills non inductive wirewound is called for. I'll touch base with AndrewL on this as he designed the phono stage for me. I lik...

Resistors
My apologies if this has been covered before, but I hope it will stimulate some debate and personal experiences. My question is does it make a difference to the sound quality if one uses say bog standard Maplin 0.6W 1% MF resistors as opposed one of the more notable / exotic brands around of the lik...
