'Easy Lover' with Phillip Bailey. Only good tune he ever did. Worst singer ever, grates on me. Good drummer, though.

lol... Whoosh! in to another dimension.Originally Posted by drSM
I don't recommend them because I've had one and I found it to be more noisy than the conventional ones. I had my original idler refurbished by Hugo recently and the result is great.
Hope that helps.

I ve had woes since my 124s were refurbished 2 to 3 yrs ago, one is a particularly bad rumbler.
But as u may have seen in my thread i have diagnosed the problem, thanks to Hugo.
