Subject: RE: Tech: Good Results w/ Old Equipment - Turntables
I did got the speed on my beogram 2000 working (I had to send it away) but is has since played up again and is going to have to go way again.

My Rotel deck went away for a speed-adjustment pot, but was running very slow when it returned. I am due to collect it from Mr Fixit soon.

I came by a Garrard zero-100 for nothing. That too has had speed control issues and I am also due to collect it this week. I also got fairly cheap (apart from the petrol to go to collect it) a JVC parallel-tracking deck but it needs the apparently electronically controlled lift-off at the end of 7 inch singles, and the laser autodetect for 7 inch singles sorting - it is waiting to go away after Mr Google found me a man who says he can.

No progress on the Goldrings yet.

B&O amp and tuner sorted. 3 sets of B&O speakers sorted.

B&O music centre seems OK but I ahve ont got down to the vinyl deck on it yet although I did find a man in germany who will refurb the cartridge for 90 Euros.

I gave up on the AT70 and will soon bin it, as well as some BSR decks that were cheap rubbish even when they worked.   

I will be happy to have some decent decks back as I am at present reliant on a Sony that sound simply dire even with a new cartridge.
