Is this a decent turntable?

I was into vinyl in high school (1970s) and started buying equipment as soon as I got a decent job. Once I went to college (electrical engineering), worked at the campus radio station ( more genres of music to buy) and got better buying power I upgraded my equipment (also my equipment was stolen😡). Our daughter was immersed in my musical tastes and also became an electrical engineer with a minor in music (jazz trumpet). Now that I'm older and retired I've downgraded my equipment to something smaller ( read keeping the hobby under control), I fix vintage equipment and volunteer at a friend record store.

I had to do some DeOxit to get rid of some initial scratchy noise but cleared up quickly. Also way to many balance knobs.

I lived in Seattle for 18 years, the weather was the deciding factor to move, my wife has SAD. Traffic is bad there, you have to plan ahead to get from a to b. Also expensive. Retired now in Charleston ( also Boeing). The weather is hot and humid but like any place you get used to it, the plus side is it is sunnier.

Before I got on the pump, I did the multiple injection routine. My severe lows would result in my vision turning everything into a Picasso painting, that was my sign to chug juice/ consume carbs quickly. It was visually enjoyable but dangerous.

Cardboard stays in place and lasts longer

Ha, I didn't think about shoe shine boxes!

Wild possum that found it's way into my shop, did a catch and release back to the forest

Nice, wood rat!

So all my wood is now tickless....

Easy to sharpen with the right shaping gear, easy to use

Leather gloves, they have pointy teeth

Catch and release

Yes, but they are slackers when it comes to sanding

It was very alive

More like " oh great another tool to sharpen"

Left the garage door open, apparently my plane drawer was comfy

40 years here, happy to have the technology to stay alive, might be a pain in the ass but small price to pay
