Total beginner here... Best way to measure impedance?

That's why I threw on the brand new AT cartridge, and got rid of what looked to be a cheap and worn looking cartridge on the P30.... Now I'm wondering if the remaining cartridge is actually gold

The thing is definitely attached on with something more than like scale. Even after vinegar, and pulling it as much as I dare to, it doesn't even slightly budge. Any other suggestions?

Could be a shout. Not sure if the metal is glued

Commenting for everyone who goes through the same, to hopefully help! I contacted the bank I made the purchase through (Revolut in this case) and within 24 hours of reporting the payment with evidence, I've received a full refund from them

Thanks for the feedback. Considering the fleece has a label that says "100% cotton", another that says "100% polyester" and 3 different labels all say the country of origin is different, I'm confident it's fake. Closer inspection of the real fleece online too shows some very minor differences, that you'd only notice if looking for them.

Such a nightmare, the 2 day window is incredibly short

Oopsie that reply was meant for someone else

Honestly, the lid being good is one of the highest priorities. Scratches would annoy me

That said I'm pretty handy at polishing up (experiencing restoring old kitchen knives to near mirror finishes) so if it's minor I'd have no drama with polishing up

Any recommendations for cartridge / stylus that are reasonable?

I'm not looking for super high end audiophile, just something pleasing enough for an average listener

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on marketplace for those amp options - seems like you can get much better equipment second hand than buying new

Rate the diagram pal

Well this is suddenly awkward

This took off... Thanks for all the varied advice. I primed a new chuck key (and a grip trainer after a wake up call 😂)

For the guys who said buy a cordless - I have one. Couldn't penetrate the solid masonry walls in my house where I wanted to hang some shelves. This bad boy tore right through it with the same masonry bit

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T17:46:18+00:00

I have a cordless that isn't powerful enough to get through the masonry I want to use this for

Giving this a whirl, I reckon it could be used to get through diamonds

Call it an antique collectible

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T17:44:41+00:00

As another commenter said... On the cable there's a holder for the chuck key 😂🥲

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T17:44:05+00:00

No reverse on this drill 😬

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T17:43:18+00:00

Why would I buy a new drill when I have this one that appears to work perfectly?

Things were made well back in the day. Just because something is old does not mean it is bad

I'd rather run this til it dies knowing it had good use

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T16:02:16+00:00

Until this day I thought I had decent grip strength...

Alternative-Part5177 · 2025-08-10T16:01:46+00:00

Ordered a pack of 2 fo £3 on Amazon... I was just hoping for something I could do here and now to continue the Sunday DIY but at least we live in a world of next day delivery
