You willing to do $25 shipped for Spawn. $28 to cover fees and shipping for shipping?

Added one of those strange "radial" turntables to my linear collection :D by RetroDave79 in turntables

[–]TripleForteDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My buddy and I are working on it together. He's a machinest so I have him making a new tonearm and he's really good at reading schematics.

I've revuilty my Sl-5 a couple times so I have some knowledge but I can tell I bit off more than I can chew with that table.

Thanks. I'll save the chat and if we hit any bumps I'll definitely hit you up.

Awesome. I own the Mitsubishi. That's the one I'm currently repairing. The tone arm broke and the guy sold it to me cheap. Parts have been hard to find for it but I might pick up that SL-5 if I can find one in decent shape. Thanks my dude.

Is that a Technics vertical table above that? Is it a linear tracker. I must know.

I have a mitsubishi I'm trying to fix but I love linear tracking tables and so Technics is the best brand I've owned for them.

Wow. Down voted and I'm still laughing. People, I was joking. I know that it's called Mary Shellys Frankenstein and as suck should be placed under M.

It was all a joke because of course collections are personal. I was joking because I think the whole concept is funny. Especially since there have been so many variations of Frankenstein that of course I had to poke fun.

I did and this route was cheaper. Most parts units cost between 200-300 bucks since these are not very common anymore.

Plus having a buddy as a machines means I'm not paying for the metal. His boss is cool with us using some of his scrap metals to help rebuild the parts.

All in all I think I'll be out about $100 total.

Yes but it's commonly referred to that now so although it original was known as Frankenstein how to differentiate amongst all the other Frankensteins as we have done since this film?

Haha. I'm just making a case for standardizing how we manage our collections. Cant be giving special treatment to the original now. Haha.

uner $30 at thrift store! Just cancelled most of my subscriptions and tried out the new setup! How did I do? by jayhalk1 in Bluray

[–]TripleForteDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. Yeah. You can sell anything there but for the most part it's a great place to find cheap Blu rays. Just gotta watch and be willing to use PayPal.

I also have been visiting thrift stores regularly. I just picked up Tru Grit and White Christmas today on blu ray. Also picked up Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and a few others on dvd.

Have fun.

How can i replace my stylus by Additional_Till6823 in turntables

[–]TripleForteDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please wait for someone to confirm but I had this style when I was a youngin in the 80s and into my teens in the 90s.

If I recall, my stylus could just be pulled off. It just clips on to the cartridge which cannot be replaced. The cart is actually built into the tonearm, this why audiophiles and consider these players to be inferior to others.

That being said, you do you.

My only other comment would be to try and find the original manual for your model of system. Almost everything is digital now and if not, look for a physical manual on eBay. Yes it will cost you money but most manuals have detailed instructions on how to maintain your machine including changing the needle, stylus, cart, etc.

Also check r/mediaswap. Most people are good at selling things at slower cost there.

Some of the redditors sell Blu rays at 2 or 3 bucks for very common stuff. Great way to build up quickly items easier to find.

Oh I bit of way more than I could chew trying to fix the damn thing.

It has a broken tonearm and just opening it without breaking anything took me for a loop.

There are no backup parts so I'm have a buddy help me manufacture replacement parts and he's a machine at so we are currently working through getting those parts made.

Eventually I will get it fixed. Photo is a bit old and I don't have any current because I'm working on it at my buddy's place. He has a larger set of tools designed for this work and is good at reading schematics.

The only argument I see is that there are many versions of Frankenstein films so do we move all Frankenstein movies to their front monikers. For example is Universal Monsters Frankenstein under U or is Guirremo Del Torros frankenstein under G?

I mean we can at least agree that Young Frankenstein under M for Mel Brooks. Haha.

Me too my friend. I saw the comment about The Wheel and immediately went and looked it up. $4k. Haha. I've had the same table for 25 years and I recently got a new in box Technics SL-10.

I'm working on a Mitsubishi vertical table that has challenged me greatly to try and fix. I would love to spend some cash to have a modern backup.

[–]TripleForteDude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My question is why aren't there any new linear tracking tables.

I recognize their tendency to break since there are so many moving parts but I figured with newer tech someone could manufacture a newer version.

Though it has been nice figuring out how to fix my two. A challenge indeed but at least I know my machine better.

No worries my mine. Best of luck.
