For one week only: the Goldring G99 turntable and Decca arm and cartridge

Congrats Chris, looking forward to reading your side of the story - I'm sure you won't fudge the issue!

I think it's going to be fun - I've been promising myself one of these, literally since I was in short trousers.
My Dad was in the Garrard camp but some family friends had these & they struck a chord with me. Looking for some Eico amps and tuner now!

Truth be known, I can't wait, actually!!

It's OK - I'm all prepared for that. I borrowed these from Marco:

Oi - stop crapping on my thread! :lol:

The only things you're going to need are:

A week off work
A week's supply of beer
A sleeping bag
A coffee maker with plenty of coffee

and

Orders left to the effect that you are not to be disturbed, apart from meals which will be brought to you.

Oh and get that RCM up and running; the Decca is an absolute magnet for dust and fluff. Unless your records are scupulously clean, you will be cleaning the stylus almost after every side! (That is the purpose of the mirror and torch, seen in the last photo.)

Regards

That Eico 'HF81' looks nice Chris..

Back on track.
