    Default Get yer Turntables out for the lads Competition

    Right then, up until the end of the month (and maybe beyond), I am running a photography competition for all turntable owners, simply post the best picture you have or can take of your T/T in action, I will be deducting points for background mess such as bottles of aftershave and pots of tea or general clutter, feel free to edit your picture after shooting as it will be worth the effort. I am not asking permission to use the photos like last time so post away please, I would prefer see the turntable actually playing a record if possible.

    Prizes as follows, the winner gets to choose his/her prize and so on down the pecking order:-

    1. Blue Horizon Record Mat
    2. 20 LP Inner Sleeves
    3. Bottle of Record Cleaning Fluid
    4. Gold Plated HDMI Cable 2 Metres
    5. 2 Metres of Belden 19364 Mains Cable
    6. Silver Plated UK Mains Plug
    7. Isoclean Power 13 Amp Audio Grade Fuse
    8. Martin Kaiser Silver Plated IEC Connector
    9. 5 x De-Oxit Wipes

    Get snapping guys and may the best picture win.
