    Okay the pictures are crappy but the arm cleaned up good and is mounted. AT3600 Carbon Fidelity cart mounted in a standard Technics headshell, aligned to Stevenson, tracking at 2.5 grams, damping set midway. I fiddled with the lateral balance but who knows, the manual was badly translated. I...

    I'm surprised it got here in one piece (or at all). Quite dingey but everything seems to function. Gonna dismantle tonight. I might hit up Chris for a DIN cable as that one is pretty nasty.

    I had to notch out the inside of the plinth to get 78 RPM to work. spun some shellac from the stack and it sounds great. I think this new plinth was a sonic upgrade as well as an aesthetic one. I hoping the Audiocraft arm and 200k cst oil gets here this week. Did you jump on that N-33H?

    Hey Nando you should see the '42 Philco it lives on top of. I restored the electronics in 2017? The plastic bezel is a reproduction but the finish on the cabinet is original

    what are you listening to?

    840AM Classic Country on this 1961 Silvertone 2222a radio. I tweaked the trimmers/IF slugs and it woke right up and is hot AF. It ought to be with its 8 transistors, RF stage, 3 gang banana slicer, and ferrite bar antenna....

    HDMI To RCA Possible ?

    Interesting that an inline HDMI audio extractor wouldn't work. I have one that I used with a projector for many years, kinda flaky but it did the trick. Does the TV have a digital out? HDMI ARC? I switched back to a direct view TV and am using its optical digital audio out and a DAC (basically)

    Yep the Papst, So technically its an B-12H, I added it later, it originally came with the round induction motor. The Papst runs a little fast.

    Mocked up with the RB300 for testing. Sounds pretty good like this. I jumped on an Audiocraft AC-400C oil dampened unipivot tonearm. Should be here from Japan mid month
