Guess I missed all the 'lore' about that spinner over my 10 year tenure here...

Hi Laatsch55,

As a longtime Infinity buff I was reading through this thread with interest. I know that when I have something like this I really enjoy having the period marketing and/or magazine reviews for it...if for no other reason than to help put some context around the item.

For what it's worth I've attached a .pdf for your (and/or Neversatisfied's) viewing pleasure. Although I never owned a Black Widow, I always wanted to try one on & see if I couldn't get the QLS-1s to really sing.

Enjoy -

4 layers of bubble wrap on the cover...

Thank You Dave....appreciate that....

 

[laatsch55]

Table 3 wraps in 1" foam, in a really tough HP computer box..

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Thank You Dave....appreciate that....

Yes thank you Dave, will print that and put in a 3 ring binder along with the BW manual.
Lee, the packing looks great man, should survive Armageddon.
If your having second thoughts, I get it and would totally understand if you want to keep it?

 

[laatsch55]

Na, just sentimental value Spence. I haven't played it since I put the cart on it and my vinyl collection is pretty small. Used to be damn large but the EX had her way with stuff when I got locked up..

A deals a deal man...I look forward to you bringing it back to a beautiful looking and sounding table again!!

Yeah, like that 62L you have...

 

[laatsch55]

Need some special stuff for the arm. Have to hit the store tomorrow...

 

[laatsch55]

Spencer, you will have to lower the tonearm a bit as the Acutex is sits a little lower than the Astrion did...

 

[BlazeES]

Yeah, like that 62L you have...

Yeah, pretty amazing turntable. Two more years and it will have been with me for 40 years. Time flies !

I even have a second, nearly pristine one in the box I scroed many moons ago - figuring it would be good to have a parts mule around - just in case.
So much for that bit of planning... The main dude will probably out live me !

I should sell the damn thing...

 

[mr_rye89]

Just skimmed thru the thread. That Denon looks like a legit Direct Drive transcription turntable.........and I thought only Technics made those!

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Figured I would do a complete setup using the original manual instructions. I plan to do a complete cosmetic rebuild including new veneer so the arm will be remounted anyway. Going to be a fun project.

 

[laatsch55]

Take a look at that 62L of Tony's.....

I'd put money on it does Tony...
