Ok take a step back. What have you been buying and rebuying and what have you not rebought yet? The piece that could be the culprit may be the piece that you have not tried to replace just yet. Give us a rundown and a picture will help as well. 

Yes it is. Get one of these....works very well if you do exactly as it says.

I've bought all sorts of things since I last posted any pictures so I thought I had better take some of my most recent purchase.

 

These are L.A.D. (London Acoustical Developments) direct drive DJ turntables and were a very good (I would say way better) alternative to the SL1200/1210 at the time.

 

They were made in Wembley, London, England in the mid to late 80's and now are sadly very rare because of the use of very nice Jelco arms, people used to buy them just for the arms and throw the rest away without actually trying them.

 

I've been looking for a pair for years and these came via ebay from the BBC in Bristol and do need a lot of work, both run but I started on the worst one first as the arm was in bits, so I have rebuilt the arm, added a new RCA cable, serviced the electronics and polished the platter, next is to clean up the plinth, rewire and repaint the arm and then start on the other one.

 

When I was much much younger I used to DJ in a club that had a pair of slightly later ones, basically the same but had sliders for the pitch and the arms were chrome/silver. These two I think are pretty early versions.

 

 

 

Love these...wish i could find some on my side of the atlantic. 

MKA, I live about an hour north (Winston Salem) of  you and can keep an eye on locally if you like. I have seen a few Technics around here for less than 400 from time to time. 

This is not to deter you from the UTurn. I like that TT and recommend it highly. The detractors are probably mad they paid 500 for a similar model and now there is one for 150. 

Amps can built bigger and better than that one for less money. I think they are a rip off. 

Nice looking record. 

Cassette: 3-head silverface Pioneer, Teac, Nak, and plenty of others. For more info check these guys out : http://www.tapeheads.net/forums.php  they are the be all, end all of tape format. 

Got to have the Orange. 

There is no way I am sending a nude pic for the whole world to see. You really have to have no respect for yourself to do this. 

Agreed Lexicondevil. It wouldnt' be a discussion if we all had same opinion. Now that I think of it i would get bored real fast.

I am not whining. I listen to Jerry and Graves as well. I prefer Danzig era Misfits. My favorite post Danzig has to be Project 1950s. They could do another album like that and I would be first in line to buy it. I don't know why but I would. I met Graves once and he said he like the Danzig songs but when I saw them they didn't play much Danzig era songs. Funny huh!

I love the Misfits...I would rather it be the original but if I can hear the stuff live it would be good for me. I was too young when Glenn was in the band to go to a concert. I didn't know Glenn was playing Misfits songs now. The last I heard he was angry that Jerry sued him for the name and said he would never play those songs again.

Google...odd huh?
