  1. I don't read those posts, but you're right, I probably should have started somewhere else; this is just where I was at the time and it occurred to me to post. I don't post here often, to be sure.

    Anyway, no Touche Amore records? We shall be friends.

    Apparently I hit a chord with my vagueness...I don't need a pre-amp, because my receiver smashes your world.

  2. ajxd, while you're fucking yourself, I'd like to say thanks to bearchuck for actually contributing. I probably should have posted first at audiokarma or vinylengine, as those people are very helpful and friendly. I lose myself too often and forget about the elite "audiophile" douche cocks that post here.

    By restoring, I mean I've taken a table that did NOTHING (plugged in and motor hummed, that's it), and now everything works and functions (speed changes, size variations, auto functions, etc.) except I have no sound. The wiring is good, I've cleaned all my connections, everything *appears* to be in working order, but this is where I am. I've done the easy, common sense stuff, all except checking continuity from the contact points on the cartridge/headshell on to the RCA jacks - I'll do that next.

    But, hey - what do I know? I've got less than 100 posts, right?

  3. I'm in the process of restoring a Dual 1209 and I've got everything working as it should, except when I hook it up to my reciever, I get absolutely no sound. I don't have a pre-amp but shouldn't need one, I've never ran one between any of my other tables. If anyone has any advice and/or experience with these tt's, I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have! Thanks.

  4. Im a little late on buying this. Is blue the only color besides the standard black? Euro color? Also, does anyone still have the blue in stock for sure? I should have bought this earlier but i never did.

    From gaslightanthem.org, which stays updated on vinyl pressing information pretty well, it looks like 500 on black for Euro (and the 7" with the songs from the deluxe edition CD is also pressed at 500). Blue will be in stock FOREVER...pressing of 10,000 means it'll be readily available for a long time.

  5. I picked up a Montgomery Wards suit case turntable recently (Model JWR-967A, from 1964), it'll be fun if I can get it working - I want to put it in my classroom. The table turns, everything has been cleaned and lubed, but here's my problem:

    When I turn it "ON" the table spins, the tone arm raises, moves to the record, lowers and plays, but only for a few seconds, then returns to the rest position. The cycle begins again, and repeats, and repeats, so on...

    I've tried aligning the main gear in a few different directions, but to no avail. If you have any experience with these types of tables, please help!

  6. This thread seriously seems like a place where people have come to show how smart they are and how great they can brag about their chemical knowledge. I suppose it's like that with any hobby, but dammit.

    On topic, I have a spin clean yellow thing, and it works great; I use micro-fiber cloths to dry and a mix of alcohol/dish soap/distilled water for really dirty records. It works great for me. I've also got an anti-static brush I use after and before playing records.

    In other news, shit's whack.
