Now here's a curiosity. I don't know all that much about this deck other than that it powers up and that the platter spins smoothly and quietly. I am reliably informed that this deck is fitted with a powerful JVC hall effect DD motor. I can say that it has immense torque and spins up to speed almost instantly. I have never had it hooked up to my system so I can't tell you whether there is good continuity through the arm cables or not and I do not have the right equipment to test it (neither do I own the correct armlead for that matter so I can't even test it with a cart fitted). The arm itself is built by Jelco to LAD's specifications and it is, apparently, a modified Jelco 370H but with a 9" armtube rather than the usual 10" item, according to Vinyl Engine, therefore it will fit nicely onto a Techy with one of Shuggies collars attached and mounted onto a 750D armboard. In fact I have studied a 750D and this arm at some length and I'll be buggered if I can spot any differences. Currently the arm is not fitted to the deck as I removed it with the intention of installing it onto my SL1210, however upon removal I discovered that the counterweight stub was suffering from brewers droop. I have been informed that it is quite an easy fix, just a matter of removing the stub and replacing a butyl washer or some such thing, and apparently doing so will encourage it to perform again with renewed vigour and passion. When I tried to remove the tiny allen bolt holding the stub onto the bearing housing it resolutely refused to budge. Not wanting to damage anything delicate, ham-fisted git that I am, I decided discretion was the better part of valour and left it to its own devices. One thing I have fixed is the lift/lower mechanism (YAY!!! \o/). I was informed that it was faulty but in actuallity it had been assembled incorrectly. It now works as it should :D
So what's it worth? Fooked if I know, I can't even remember how much I paid for it to be honest, only that I bought it from Shuggie along with one of his special collars. So, what about making me an offer, either for the whole shebang or perhaps I might even split them once I've downed a few pints and you say the magic word :lol:
Should you desire the TT, either with or without arm, you can either come pick it up from me personally (in which case PM me for my address) or else I can place it into the considerate arms of a courier who will covet it for three days longer than you were expecting. Several GutBuster breakfasts and a trip up the A1 later, said courier will knock on your door which you will answer full of expectation. Belching whiffs of bacon, eggs and sausages in your general direction the courier will then tell you, in person, that you are not in, after which he will hand you a very smug card informing you that your package will need to be picked up from the depot, 300 miles away... :lol: (only joking :D )
Over to you then... :cool:
p.s. I have cadged the Acromat for my Techie (Wise boy, I hear you say) however I will supply a compatible phat mat made of rubber just for all you latex fetishists out there. What a nice man I am... :D
nb: Please note the Shuggie collar is not included.
