I think I recognize your handle.
Do you have the mind blowing listening room?

Okay all done. Final pics with the room and wood box. Really loving the sound of this thing so far.

I do have a room. Not sure about mind blowing but I do think it's peachy. I recognize you as well Eddie

One of my favorites. Simply functional art. IMO

I'm looking at possibly getting the Thorens TD 124 DD reissue but without a threaded spindle I was a bit concerned about being able to flatten all the dodgy vinyl out there. What kind of clamp are you using on that 124?

 

[charles hidalgo]

It’s a Wayne’s
I don’t know about that table as far as I know the ring I have fits the td124 MKI but not my MKII. So things can be very specific I imagine. They will work with you I’m sure as they always have replied to me if I had a question .

Thanks, and what about the spindle clamp? Or is that a weight?

Shaping young minds early and often. That's our job. Just make sure they don't gnaw thru the cord.

How do you rate Sien’s stuff? Tempted to get one of his bearings for my Lenco GL75.
