Years ago I went to the Les Paul estate auction in LA. Indescribable amount of gear and instruments...Mind bogglingly cool. Inspired, I came home and made this one night as my little homage to Les. Can't find it now - don't remember what program material I cut into it.

Welp, I knew it was coming, this morning my Marantz 6300, gave up and now can't control the platter speed. Lasted approx 1 yr after coming out of a 40+ yr storage.......

Don't know if it's worth repairing vs replacement.
After the full refurbishment of my 9001, I am not sure which is the right way to go???????

Was at Waterloo Records in Austin yesterday. Wore the original one out in the late 70's...it's been long gone. Found this 3 record set in the bargain bin, unopened. $10 ! ! View attachment 110939
I once ran into Robert Plant at the Waterloo on Lamar St. I try to go there every time I'm in Austin. You can find some great deals, if you look. I found a first pressing of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida there for $8. Not just the first pressing, but the withdrawn pressing with the early mix.

I had one of my turntables suffer move damage that I didn’t discover until over a year later. It’s being replaced. but my other, four-speed table needs a bit of TLC from me.

Like I need the projects.

I did what my limit knowledge allowed me to do. Removed the platter and cleaned the spindle well with a Q-Tip & alcohol, put 2 drops of oil in and wiped the spindle with my oily finger. Then turned it over and removed the cover and gave the caps a visual once over. Nothing looked burned or leaking. I have no idea what controls the motor speed.

I certainly got my monies worth out of the Marantz but ofcourse I could never just throw it out.
I have found that AT has the under $1K turntable market pretty well covered.
Really surprised at all the plastic used on tables now, unless I look at the out of my price range tables, 2K and up

Social Security check arrives next Wednesday, Its my monthly play money

yeah- Robert lived here for a couple years while he was dating Patty Griffin. He was pretty accessible then. Waterloo is a great, iconic store here in Austin....still love going in there.

I'm planning on dropping about $2k on my new turntable - I'm trying to get one that will play CD-4s. I went there ( https://www.thestereoshoppe.com/ ) with my decoder, and absolutely no signal came out of the decoder. It's all analog electronics, so it ought to be repairable, but, again, like I need the project.
