  1. This will play 78's. It's a Rek-O-Kut L-37, Audio Technica AT1007 arm, and Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge with a 3 mil. stylus for 78's. 78's sound fine when played with a stereo cartridge. 78 grooves are wider than 33 and you need bigger stylus. I got my 3 mil. at lpgear.com.
  2. How about a rebuilt Magnavox console amp? Lots of documentation on the internet. Here's my 6BQ5 version. I also have a 6V6 version.
  3. Idler drive, 33 & 78, AT1007 arm, Nagaoka MP-11 cartridge. Bought it on ebay for $18.00 on Christmas Day when no one was bidding. Plinth made of bamboo cutting boards from Walmart, wrapped in walnut.
  4. Is this better? http://home.comcast.net/~al_jennings/MagVox%20Tube%20Amp-%20AJmods.gif

  6. Here are my two console amps. Both are well documented on the internet with lots of photos of the underside showing before and after restoration.
  7. Get down at eye level and check out the little curved arm that raises and lowers for cueing. Sometimes it's set too high and actually lifts the arm ever so slightly as the arm travels across the record. Push on it from above to be sure it's returning to its lowest position. It's adjustable with a tiny metric allen setscrew and can be lowered. As you're looking at the arm from a sideways vantage point, is it parallel with the record? Lots of people like it to be slightly tail down (arm mounting portion lower than needle) and this cures sound being overly bright. The Rega is a good, almost fuss-free arm. Good luck and Have Fun! tubav
  8. Does this Electrovoice have the whizzer cone or not in this application? All of the SP12 I've looked have the whizzer but since the Heresy is a 3-way maybe it didn't use the whizzer. Thanks. tubav
  9. I did a quick check on ebay completed listings for 150's and $150.00 was the going price. I never use dust covers. I would probably ditch the stock arm and go with something else. Take the outer platter off and watch the drive pulley for signs of wobble and listen for motor noise. If you are wanting plug 'n play this probably isn't it. You will probably need to DIY. I've got a couple of Technics direct drives I'd let go of: Technics SL-1200 w/arm and SL-150 minus arm. Go to vinylengine.com and check those out. Let me know if interested. Have fun.
  10. The price is a little high. A new tonearm would be good either vintage or a new Rega RB250 is pretty fuss-free. Lots of Thorens info at theanaolgdept.com There is a great rebuild of a TD150 with lots of pics. Have fun
  11. Sealed cab, thicker back with 2 vertical braces and weatherstripping, side to side brace, top to bottom brace. New caps from Bob Crites. Sounds terrific with rebuilt Magnavox 6V6 console amp. Terrific forum, lots of help. Thanks
