Last one for today. My first dip into Deep Purple. This is one of three DP LPs I was given by a fellow member over in the Dual Forum, thanks!

I did not want to anticipate, but exactly what I thought is now visible. When the drawer is extended with the weight of the Dual tt, this construction loses its stability. I would reconsider this
I expected as much as well, these drawers are quite flexible. But i will only fully extend them if I need to work on the TT or for changing LPs. Half-way out it´s fine.
What exaggerates the situation is this:
The whole rack is tilted backwards a little. After adjusting front height, I´ shure I can loose some ot the washers under the TT. 🤔

But a TT belongs on the top shelf
You may not believe it, but usually I sit on the floor infront of my system. So having it on the lower shelf is actually more comfortable for me. 😉
I value Your input Guys!

Execution is not perfect, but it came togehther well enough. If I pull the board all the way out it will hang quite a bit. For spinning, half way out is just fine, all out is for tinkering purposes.

I lay for a couple seconds there, upset at what happened, realized I was NOT HURT, took the ladder up, had to straighten the bent thing, climbed right back up and got the jog done!
Sorry but, definition of a (hardheaded) bonehead? 🤲 😉

It wasn´t attened to have an similar experience like @Dave1291 made a couple of days ago, but as life is there are things that just happen . I had heated oil in a pan, made a glass lid on the pan, was briefly distracted and saw how strong smoke formed under the glass lid. Immediately I took the pan off the stove, took down the glass lid , by the oxygen the pan began to burn. The flames beat higher and higher. My son wanted to extinguish the fire in the pan with water, no I let that be, meanwhile the smoke detectors were already beeping in the house, panic broke out. I saw a large pillow and took this to smother the flames in the pan . That worked. Unfortunately, I got very bad burns on the right hand. We have ointments in our home pharmacy to soothe the burns. Nevertheless, I have very severe pain. But I can also use the laptop with my left hand, so I can write.
It will be difficult for me to put on records in the coming days.
You too George, get well soon! Gute Besserung!

Get well, George! Maybe things will look brighter in the evening already. Plus, most of the others will be awake then too.

George, You´re right, from our vantage point it´s a joke. But if You don´t know much about TTs and just want to take a peek? Ok, I think. Not everybody will spend several 100 bucks if they don´t know if they like it.
I certainly would not exchange my Dual, with it´s all metall mechanics, with that ikea lightweight.

Probably OK for someone just starting the vinyl journey
That´s what I thought too, the TT being not that sophisticated like George said.

Like Elton John's early music the best. It was all rock then, even when it got mellow.
Me too!

From memoryWas she accused of plagiarism at some point
Nothing on the Wiki. She does sample here an there. I saw some forums where guys rant about it, I don't give it much credit though. Plagiarism is taken very seriously in Japanese industry.
