    The platters always look impressive on those. (Not the band)

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It doesn't work - but I knew that when I bought it.
    It's for looking at, decorative. I think it looks stunning.

    The platter spins freely, but when switched on the lights come on but it makes curious grinding noises. And the stylus is naffed anyway.
    I might look into getting it sorted.
    Some day.

    Bloody hell, Jerry! You've got one of the finest linear tracking turntables made there - get it fixed (I can give you a phone number) and get the cartridge off to Franz-Josef Schulte in Germany for a re-tip https://www.schallplattennadeln.de/b-o-info-engl.html



    (Oh, and take the stylus protector off the detection arm and put it on the cartridge where it should be, there's a good chap - it looks silly there...)

    I hadn't realised.
    Sorted now.
    It looks so much better.

    I've got a broken one of those as well Jerry, but haven't had time to look at it yet.

    I might be able to fix yours as well when i get my head around it.

    Please, definitely let me know, Alan.
    You're not a zillion miles away and dropping it off would be a good excuse for a visit.

    Go on, get on with it, then.

    I've had the hots for one of these for quite a while.

    Now added to my vintage collection.



    Dang thing is too wide for my rack at 54cm, I might try moving things around so I can have a listen in my system but that will entail quite a lot of moving.

    Headphone use is tempting but I'll need an unusual configuration of adapter for that - see my Artist's Palette post.

    No, just an ordinary receiver - the Grundig central name-plate is just that - decorative not an entry port!

    I do like lots of knobs and dials.

    I'll take another pic this evening - I suspect it will look very pretty with the dial lit.
