Hi all,
My name is Cameron (Cam will more than do) from Sydney Australia.
I’ve only recently been bitten by a vinyl/vintage audio bug thanks mainly to a neighbour with a great record collection and willingness to share it around.
System wise it is very very modest and so far has cost me the grand total of $150AUD (including parts to fix it all up) and comprises:
Dual 1209 – wasn’t working when I got it but a simple strip down and lube has got it working nicely. It came with a Shure M91ED cartridge and I’ve fitted a generic elliptical stylus.
Pioneer PL-71 – I’ve only just acquired this and unfortunately its not working thread here.

To me this is a beautiful looking piece of gear and I’m desperate to get her going again
Sansui AU-101 – Got this for free and it works perfectly, I’ve cleaned the pots/switches put on new binding posts and repainted the rusted top cover. I love this little amp.
Yamaha CA-700 – Got this cheap and in near mint condition, I love its look and timber case but unfortunately I’m not quite taken by its sound (compared to the Sansui). There is something not quite right with one of the phono inputs and I’ll recap it at some point which will hopefully get it singing as good as it looks.
B&W DM110 – Again picked these up cheap, there are in great condition and suit my needs and room at the moment.
Music, I have massively varied tastes and can move from Soundgarden one day to Al Green the next, although I tend to have quiet specific tastes when it comes to vinyl and will only hunt down albums that I really deem worthy of turntable time. A good snapshot is the five albums next to the turntable right now.
• AWB – Self titled
• Tim Buckley – Greetings from LA (current favourite)
• Bob Marley – Kaya
• Rolling Stones – Made in the Shade
• Sly and the Family Stone - Fresh
Cheers, Cam
