DENON DP 1500 FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that the parts are arriving, if that base has gotten some work it will be nice to see this turntable looking good again.

I like seeing these old top units put back in service because they are the best you can get for under a few thou out there and that is a very high level of record play for sure. This one can look stunning when all ready to go.
 
No work on the plinth yet. That's a garage job and it's still cold out there....
 
Just received my new dust cover from Mike......VERY GOOD JOB packing, EXCELLENT JOB on the cover itself. I gad sent the hinge plates with the old one, and the new one slides into pl;ace like it belongs there!!!


THANKS MIKE!! I'm VERY PLEASED!!!

Hey Lee.
Good deal brother. Got there in one piece.
It would have been pretty tough to align those plates so the pins on the hinges would not bind up on the plate receivers.
So I made them adjustable. The original was so warped, I couldn't get an exact center line dimension of the plates.
Thanks again Lee,
Cheer,

It just keeps getting better and better. Gonna be sweet soon enough. With the new cartridge it should sound sweet now.

A really nice phono stage for the money.

This guy does fair reviews of audio stuff, in my humble opinion....and compares to similarly priced options. Pretty awesome..

You can check out his cartridge reviews and comparisons as well...He has a pretty cool channel..

Thanks Gary... I still have a Spec 1 pre around here with a pretty good phono stage in it. If I want to get any more serious than that it will probably be a bit...
