Well it will be here in 2 days. Backordered a Grado Gold Prestige cart for it. Don't know when I will get it.

Well it arrived today. All 45 lbs of it. I need a set screw and clean the cable ends. I never get excited about thing. This I am. The cover is messed up. That head light lens stuff for cars will work good. It will be weeks till I'm ready to listen to it.

 

[speakerman1]

Well it is here. I found the thumb screw. Thank God. I need either a new top or I polish this one out. I am very excited to hear this TT.

Hi Larry,

Looks like a winning turntable. You are like me: you would rather spend the extra time and effort in making sure everything is clean and adjusted to spec before playing your first LP on it.

I use Old English to moisturize the wood and sometimes Murphy's Oil Soap for a pre-cleaning before applying the preservative. I use a Grado cartridge on my Ariston Audio RD-80 turntable, but the Grado Gold might be a few steps above my model.

The reason for the Grado. Was because if I did the Shure and the Jico I would have more money invested. I read up on the Gold for a few days there was no ill reviews so I jumped. I have to clean the RCAs they are tarnished.

Very nice rig, me likey hopefully you don't get the dreaded Grado hum, I've never had it with any of mine.

It was a good price. The Vandies are on their way also. Lee has the preboard to solder since I.m blind. Floors , windows and other things should be done in about 3 weeks. I think everything will be ready to play together by then. Yes I like this little TT all 45 lbs of it. LOL. I'm trying to think what all TTs I have. Did you get rid of yours?

My Baby?? Hell No! Never! I play it everyday.

OK I just ordered a set of levels for TT and one was for Thorens to make sure the bearing is straight for the spindle. The tone arm on this Micro is more than I paid for the whole TT. Audioquest wires and clamp. Plus sorbathane mat and feet. This is probably to me like your Thorens is to you.

Ok I set it up. Have to put the Jico in. I did the outside of the cover. Here is the result. In phase.

Do you need to get the adhesive off?

Larry

 

[Pure_Brew]

Mmm... I think it may have come off, mostly. Could be some residue. Top is scratched, that had no stickers.

 

[speakerman1]

It took me 4 hrs to do that and it isn't done. Spent a bunch of time yesterday on the inside. It is getting there. Then comes the sides.

WD-40 works great on stickers, tape adhesive and certain glues.

I normally use Goo Gone but this sounds like don't call the UN

(call the MM)

 

[speakerman1]

To me. To get adhesive off. I don't put to many things on plastic. I use my fingers to start rolling it into a ball. That is me. With the make up of plastics you never know what will hurt them and leave another residue on them. I have used WD-40 for alot of things though. Not so much on stuck bolts. There are better things out there. You should read the story about it though. I used it to get a 2 part sealer off my hands. This stuff it don't come off or out of your hair. LOL

Cosmetics I would do, probably if I ever rewire the tonearm. I will likely never rewire the tonearm.

 

[speakerman1]

Depends on the tonearm. Can not be fun at all.
