Historic TT Project

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Any turntable historians / restorers here who want a project

[Alfi]

Is this your NVA TT or your black acrylic Lenco Plinth Doc? I'd love to but the missus would kill me as I've got far too many (11) here now

No it is a US broadcast TT I just cannot find time for. It is called a Rek-o-Kut rondine jr https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rek-o ... rbCh1LCAsM

I have decided to give it up and focus on my Lenco (Goldring) G99 DSJR is going to do for me.

That looks very tasty and interesting Doc a very nice idler drive project for somebody.

But you'll enjoy the Lenco G99 they are beauts - they really are. May be worth you getting a spare idler from Norbert on the Lenco Heaven forum. They are very nicely produced with modern rubber moulded tyre and smooth running close tolerance bearings.


Norbert Lenco idler wheel.

Enjoy.

Forget it, buy a real TT....buy a 1210.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

I have a a very nice very rare Japanese NEAT broadcast tonearm to go with it. So rare you can't find any inf about it on line. It has exact type characteristics for my Ortofon SPU Gold and my Shure M3D when I want to play the really old stuff. It wont replace my Pioneer PL71, I really can't see me selling that.

Jammy I owned a 1210 and the PL71 pisses on it from such a great height your piss monkey would run out of oxygen, and yes I compared them directly side by side swopping head shells over, AND did the same thing at Gromit's place when he lived in London and he heard it as well to back me up.

[jammy395]

Yep I fukin hear ya........

But ive heard my brothers pl71 and, strange but..........
We are both under the impression my 1210 sounds better than the 71.

Go figure....could be my techie has a humble mm Godring 1042 , my brother a mc Benz.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Then you have a duff PL71 I am afraid, as that is an impossibility with a properly working PL71, you would both have to be deaf.

[jammy395]

Right fuk u ........
It must be true, cause you say so......
Would it be possible you are fukin wrong, and people can indeed prefer owt else..
And I couldnt care a flying fuk what the vintage knob says.

If you persist with such bull........Thinking yerself always fukin right.

Then you are making a cnut of yerself......you are infact becoming all you have been fighting against.

Jeez calm down guys it's only a TT, who cares!

I'm sure a 1210 can sound great and I'm sure a Pl-71 can sound great. I love Curry, some people don't. It's all subjective and not important.

Lovely project TT by the way Doc, I wish I knew how to restore it.
