[drummerman]

Sorry, dont mean to bore everyone with an old TT but I just came across this

Suspension feet already there by the looks of it. Cool.

My original feet were perishing. Richard Fletcher at Vantage Audio replaced them with something new.

What are you using as feet at present? Are they sprung?

I dont mind adding suspension but if its already there even better

I really don't know what they are. You could ask Richard Fletcher what he fitted < info@vantageaudio.com >.

I might lift it up and have look.

 

[drummerman]

If it has suspension a slight push down should make it wobble a little bit.

No suspension. I've taken a foot off and photographed it. Will post pics later.

Come on then drummerman! How does 'our' Garrard compare to a decent/half decent/budget/rubbish deck? Is my old 86sb worth its rack space? :cheers:

Morning my friend.

Stop fretting and enjoy 🙂

I haven't listened to mine for a little while but only because I was busy with the Sony. The Garrard is lovely and compares well with the other turntables. They all have slightly different flavours but are nice in their own ways.

Display with pride

Happy sunday everyone x

Good mornin' to u2. Wish sometimes I hadn't gutted all the auto mechanism tho. 15/20 mins before the click/hick! Cheers

Yes, I do think the mechanism adds to the attraction, autenticity and convenience of this turntable. On the other hand, it wont ever give you problems again ... ever 🙂

Enjoy

On the other hand, I still, after 30+ yrs, have (most) of the cams, springs, levers & rods which, given the time, enthusiasm & patience, could be used to bring the tt back to its original, authentic condition.....
Nah!

And now I find I don't know how to insert a picture. Please advise.

Why would it need suspension? You're supposed to be able to play these turntables in a moving car, but the ownners' manual does advise not changing a record whilst driving!!

 

[drummerman]

Really? 🙂

I think you need to upload pictures to a media website such as http://www.mediafire.com/index.php#myfiles and copy them here. At least thats what I do.

Its all a bit of a faff but perhaps I'm wrong.

Would love to see some pictures of your Technics.

Thanks Ifor

[ifor]

No, I got that wrong. "We do not recommend operating this unit while driving an automobile".

I couldn't work out how to add the images.

 

[drummerman]

Thanks Ifor. Any more pictures of your SL-7?

regards

 

[ifor]

I'll be away for a few days but will post more when I'm back.

 

[relocated]

Technics claimed that you could play the SL10 on it's side and I found that to be true. Not as a matter of normality, but just a successful experiment [with a piece of vinyl I didn't treasure]. I guess your 7 will do the same drummer??

 

[drummerman]

No good unfortunately.

I need it to work upside down.
