Hello Andrew, it's been far too long and I've only just revisited the site. I had a quote of £200 minimum to cut the Kirkstone slate and I was considering that but then spoke to a monument mason...

Hi Jamie, it is indeed! That's a great project on lots of levels, I've toyed with the idea of French polishing the table of one of my guitars so seeing that finish being built up was really nice. The...

Well, after waffling on about mission creep I remembered that I have a really nice piece of green Kirkstone slate in the garden so I've asked a fella that I know for a quote for cutting it. Just...

I'm not familiar with the amp or streamer Colin but it sounds like you should be looking for a sub with a 'high level input' where the sub input wires are connected to the speaker terminals of the...

Me too!

Really useful pictures thank you. My cable clip improvisation isn't too far off after all, I trimmed it so that it just 'catches' the arm - same principle. The G30 instructions are useful...

Ok Martin, as I say, there's really no rush. I'll wait out. Much appreciated whenever it's convenient.

That's really interesting Geoff. Mine isn't a G30, there's one here...

Thanks Martin there's no rush for the pictures - this 'project' has waited over 35 years! That's another lovely set-up. I... must... not... be... tempted. Get thee behind me Satan!

And thanks...

I think the challenges are as follows:

Motor unit - this seems to be the easy bit, the idler wheel is 'rubbery' with no flat spots and there's no play in its bearing. I recall checking the thrust...

Martin, that looks like the one. The only picture I have of one from the net is this one I copied from an ebay sale years ago...
...

Thanks Barry, I'm looking forward to putting it all together. I already have the post for the arm rest and I think the Lenco one on ebay is more like the original. In the meantime I've cuffed this......

Hello all, as with any project, to avoid mission creep I’ve set myself some terms of reference.

End goal

I really enjoyed Andrew’s restoration project, apart from the undoubted quality of the...

Blimey, do you have access to my search history Geoff :) Yes, that was lost too so I have one of those Technics ones on order!

I've been looking for a weight for a few days and the only thing...

Thanks Geoff, I've been looking at SME arms (or a Mission 774) but I'd like to get this one working first. Part of the attraction is learning more about the mechanics and that arm has a fairly...

Here's the plinth that I'll use. Each layer looks like two 18mm pieces of plywood glued together and these are spaced and held together with bolts the likes of whch I've not seen. I plan to use...

After being suitably inspired by the forum I've dragged out an old turntable from the loft. Bought in the 80's it has been moved from loft to loft, and nearly ended up at the tip at one point. The...

Sorted now Robbie, thanks for your help.

Hmmm... it looks from here that it doesn't. I'll keep trying!!

Sorry Andrew for trashing your most excellent thread. I'll experiment on my own thread!

Thanks Robbie, does this work...

Superb job Andrew and an excellent, informative and very generous thread. It has inspired me to get a 401 out of the loft and have a go at it myself. I bought it from a junk shop in the early 80's on...

If anybody has a pair of these that they don't need or want of if you've seen a pair for sale, please give me a shout.

Thanks all.

Thanks Lawrence, I saw their revisited thread, it certainly seems that way.

Hello Andrew, I wouldn't know what to offer. I haven't been watching prices so I've no idea, there's a pair on ebay for...

Hello all, I lurk these days after I made some Linkwitz LXmini speakers a while back and the upgrade options are 'limited' - if you like that kind of sound but I won't bore you about that.
...

Thanks Brian, that's the info I was after.

... so not such a dumb question after all, it seems to have foxed the forum :rolleyes:

Anybody have any ideas?

Hello mate, I mentioned BTE because on the bottom of that page he describes the red one has being a special design with a sub in and output.

I can't say I noticed the peakiness, maybe because I've...
