Rob....the Pink....I mean the Red looks so good.

Make sure you got enough Dr.pepper with you tonight .

Its Dr. Pepper Red...LOL

Serious...when it is done, I'll make sure its in proper lighting ...

Paul, I notice you don't list a turntable...maybe we can get you set up...lol

This is what Jeff got me into...LOVE IT

He has been trying to talk me into this one...But I would have to sell the house...LOL

$30,000 for a rotating wheel, are you nuts! :safe:

 

[ohbythebay]

$30,000 for a TT, are you nuts!

No, VPI is nuts...Even Mike doesn't buy these...YET...LOL

 

[NorthStar]

I modified my above post, to not spin any perturbation among spinners. ...An analogy?

 

[Paul]

Rob...I've been thinking about it for a while and still I am.

I really like your turntable at the audio show especially with new wood finish. ( here is the shot I took )

I'm still looking...too many choices out there. But Hell Nope I won't spend $30 K for sure lol

 

[NorthStar]

I really like the very simple and attractive design. ...And that wood too.

 

[Paul]

I really liked the turntable in my Avatar.

 

[NorthStar]

I prefer the one in your above post.

Do you like that TT from my own avatar?

I thought it was so cool when I saw it first place....now it drives me banana

♧ Really ???? What don't you like one in my avatar ?????

 

[ohbythebay]

Paul..that one is TOO cool...but my wife would never believe me if I said I traded some tubes for it...LOL

How do I get a wood band for mine ? Jeff ?

Do you like it Rob ?

 

[ohbythebay]

Do you like it Rob ?

Uh..YEAH..I get wood for wood...LOL

Methinks you're screwed!

 

[Matt715]

I can't wait to see the results. It's going to look great!

 

[ohbythebay]

Its getting there...closer than I thought actually. A new tonearm belt is on its way (its a small rubber belt - almost a rubber band that works the auto function), the Plinth is done, the electronics are done...Today I mask and paint the tonearm base section...then reassembly, cart mount and viola...a custom PL600..LOL

 

[NorthStar]

It reminds me some of the tape decks I fixed in the past; with some rubber bands the size of the original belts. ...And they worked perfectly too.
{I don't know if some of you here ever replaced the belts in your tape decks but it ain't for the impatient type.}

It's fun to follow your progress through each step Rob. ...And with those small details explained, like the tonearm's belt.

 

[ohbythebay]

Thanks Bob..it is fun...she'll be a pretty and fine working backup table when done..!

 

[NorthStar]

Yeah, she wasn't so pretty right after you bought her.
