Hi again,

thanks for all the interesting replies to my original post. I have looked at all the possibilities suggested here but am still at a loss as to the exact cause of what I am seeing.

As I have now decided to bring forward Dave C's 78 speed mod (assuming Dave is able to do it in the near future!) it might be as well for him to look at as someone suggested.

The new platter also looks to be closed at hand than I originally thought so that will be a definite upgrade.

Since my last post I have managed to trash my stylus so am waiting for AT440 from Dave which should be here in a couple of days. It's cheaper for me to try the AT rather than purchase a new stylus for my Goldring 2400!
