Got some chassis RCA connectors from parts express to do a connector upgrade I had seen on John's Weather page -

Sure it's long gone - I remember when you posted the ad (I've been here for the whole conversation).

I wouldn't dream of a rebuttal for ya - this was Emma's college TT I'm sorting out, never...

Sorry Tom - didn't mean to run with this all over your thread.
Good luck with your sale (grin) ... nice looking table!

Just an FYI - I pulled the TT down off the cabinet, tied down the tonearm, flipped it over, and slid off the bottom.
While in there I pulled off the locknuts and stuffed some extra foam into the...

Well, I'm not likely to re-engineer the T-bar sub-chassis to use 3 Konis instead of the coil springs it has now ...
and I'm not likely to rebuild the whole thing with the suspension locked to the...

walked around a bit - tho it looks cheesy, the concept does seem to be helping.

Thanks Don!

I've got it up on the shelf for the week while work intrudes (grin) ...

More pics - That heavy rubber platter mat weighed down the suspension too much - so based on a tip from Herki, I cut a new mat from some sheet cork I had around. It should flatten down once I put...

I had never paid much attention to Emma's AR turntable in the past because I remember a friend in college had an AR-XA that bounced and skipped on anything we played on it ... bad conduction from the...

Herki, thanks for all the tech notes, and for the memories ...
Now I've just got to pull Em's AR-XB out of the attic - and make room for it somewhere!
(Probably on the L200plus system with the...

maybe so - but its Emma's turntable - she's kept it since college so she's in no rush to selll

But - wanna buy some Magneplanars??
They're crowding the others ...

Thanks for the informative additions to the older thread! Please, tell me more!
We have Emma's AR-XB in the attic while my Denon DP-45F is the table that's been connected downstairs -
but if the...
