Well I can’t argue with that……how about the center of center, out of phase of course.

Yup, going to fit right in ^^^^ lol. Welcome to the center of the Phase Linear universe.

Wonder what ever became of these, hopefully someone got them going ?

If I am following along correctly, you did not verify operation prior to changing the caps?

Insight into the mind of an engineer right there ^^^^^^^^^^

Might be better to attach the heatsink with a piece of bare wire twisted around the sink and resistor. JB Weld may insulate between the two and possibly cause the resistor to run even hotter.

Thanks George, that is similar but unfortunately the connector on mine is down in the tube and heavily glued. I have some de-bonding stuff that I am going to try but confidence is low that it will work. If I could figure out how the arm tube attaches to the main body then i could push it out...

The wire in both of my arms is copper and I had originally planned on replacing it but have two problems. First the stand alone arm has a female plug at the headshell end that I can’t get out without destroying it and the second is that since these use a torsion bar design for setting the...

Let’s just say I get Christmas cards from Wiha every year.

A gift from my love, she says I am hard to shop for because I am like a ten year old with a credit card…..lol, so true.

Judging from the pictures your arm seems to be far more sophisticated and more solidly built than the 707. Granted my examples are in rough condition but as far as quality of materials I was far more impressed with some of the Sony arms I have taken apart.

Personally I like it without the clear, I would also be concerned that in time the clear would start to peel. Vinyl will offgas over time, they do make “plastic” spray paint but there are hundreds of vinyl formulations so longevity could still be an issue.

Should have taken more pictures but there are differences between the one that came on the TT and the stand alone unit. Nothing major but the main bearing housings are slightly different, one is in a brass sleeve and the other a chromed brass sleeve, the chromed sleeve places the bearings...

Had a little time this morning to work on the Micro. Almost finished rebuilding both MA-707 tone arms. Still more to do but slowly getting there. Look Joe, messy bench again….lol.

Lightning just struck Texas. Glen’s monster creation finally arrived safe and sound. Only had time to pull the top to make sure nothing got knocked loose and hook her up to the test system for a short run. Happy to report everything is good to go, no problems and she sounds wonderful. Much...

It says, "you have now voided the warranty round eye !!!"

Kind of like wheels on classic muscle cars, some like original skinny Redlines on steel wheels and some like the Mickey Thompson N50's on Cragar's. Neither is wrong.

All OEM, the Pioneer and AT13Ea are NOS, the rest are lightly used supposedly. The AT12Sa belonged to my dad.

No real losers, could live with all of them. I only have a dozen or so carts, picked six I already liked and then narrowed down to three. The winners of this go round Grado MF3 AT 12Sa AT 13Ea The didn’t win this go round Pioneer 600A (original NOS that shipped with the PL-L1000 and is damn...

Since my ears weren’t ringing and it was crappy weather I decided to do a little cartridge testing. One of the nice things about linear trackers is that setup is relatively easy. I have been collecting head shells and vintage carts for a while and wanted to see which ones I liked. Using the same...
