Unless you have the sight, tools and patience. What do you think? If all that is needed is the proper screws, just a matter of finding them or(easy) them finding you... here goes it looks like I need a whim kit... vinyl nirvana carries them. http://vintagethorens.com/home/thorens-upgrade-parts/universal-mods-and-upgrades/01shim/ I want to try out the at440... before I invest more $$$ in a cartridge.. but I'm sending the td125 out for a restore to vinyl nirvana... after the holidays..with no custom work done..other than a record weight.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Good evening Paul and friends................Starting my RTM Friday night with some classic Yes............an album I bought back in 1979 and did really like, hardly played it.... Fast forward all these years, and I have fallen in LOVE with it ever since ... Here is the cover.............wine poured, time to enjoy some relaxation, VINO and good music through the old Dual 506 and all tube Dynaco gear via Klipschorns for the evening.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I was wondering if you needed spacers or shims. Well, if that is the fix, I say go for it. While on site, make sure you have all that is needed or, what you may need for future variations on a headshell. Good shopping...and good to go?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned onto a lot of stuff there like a garage band...Hope your degree has served you well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
