Phase Linear 8000 Update
Took the tt apart and, after removing the tonearm carriage, found that the piston holding the spring on the right side was frozen. Applied a little reel oil, exercised it, and it now moves up and down freely. Put it back together and found the up/down on the tonearm not working properly. Took it back apart completely, re-adjusted the gears, put it back together and now working perfectly. Waiting for the new custom isolation feet. This is a VERY BIG turntable. I now have to figure out how to build a proper shelf. Too much fun. Love to just watch it in action.
