    There easy to work on plenty of room inside & the parts a well spaced..I did try a full width DH110,it was an improvement.. i remember that well as i fried a pair of speakers with a Nakamich '582' cassette deck.

    Hi Marco
    They come up on E-Bay now & then both the Record & Styli brushes.Please note though that your deck has to be drilled as the threaded stud fix through the turntable, held in place with a wing nut. I doubt very mich that Mick Gammon re-manufacturers his dad's old transcriptor version & i know JA Michell don't.Very nice articles all the same.I'll keep my eyes peeled if you want.

    Lordy, you'll get Beechy all hot under the collar with that!

    Please do - preferably though, a stick-on or 'rubber sucker' one would be better, as I don't wanna be drilling holes in my deck
