Re: What to do with my fruitbox
But what to get after the Lp12 ? Lenco, Rega, Gerrard ? DD ?
Oh hang on, I have a PL-71 to refurbish
Needs the arm bearings sorting, arm rewire, psu recap and off boarding, motor board recap, micro switches changed.

Re: Interesting drum beats
How about Toto Rosanna? A half time shuffle which is a mix of John Bonham Fool in the Rain and Bernard Purdie. Well known drummer's wet dream.
