Well, she loves it. Icon_biggrin

She threw an old beat up James Brown 45 on it and heard it kinda play. It tracked perfectly, just very low volume. She wants to wait for me to get the retrofit cartridge and stylus set up before playing any of her LP's on it. If it was for me, it would stay bone stock. I'm just happy to have a 20 year old who appreciates things like this.

Since she's done with the old cartridge, I opened it up and removed the crusty old rubber fittings. Then I put some RTV in it's place just to see if it makes a difference. I will know in the morning.

BTW, does anyone know what "CD" means on the radio dial?

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
