Looks kind of like one of those Pantera's from way back George. They epitomized the Wedge!

[MicroMara]

we had a rainy day today , after I finished my houseworks I started to spin some records ..

 

thanx for the inspiration @Full Range

 

 

next was Santana 3 ( Batuka )

 

 

followed by Wishbone Ash " Front Page News "

 

 

and after dinner I spun the german " Genesis " Triumvirat with " Illusion on a double dimple "

 

 

now I´m done 😂

 

btw , I reactivated my Audio Technica AT 7 V today . As it´s a hard complied cantilever it needs a heavy tonarm to perform on it´s best level, so I used a 15 Gram Headshell and a second counterweight on my MA 505 MK II Tonearm to get it work, I can tell you buddies ...it rocks ! 

 

 

 

want to mention that I´m waiting for the deliverence from another famous cart , will tell you w/in the next few days, thought it arrives today, but it will be delivered early next week

Sure had forgotten yours ...when it´s time to change the belt ? I suppose once a year should make sense

You Sir, may byte me! 😂😂😂  FYI my Linn dude puts a couple lil arrows on my belt so every year I just flip it.  Told me it would last about 5-10years that way.  On year 3 and just flipped it last week.  Last I checked it was running @ 33.32 rpm's.  Cart hours?  Logs?  Nickle dime stuff?  Blah!  You obviously need something to do with your spare time.  😂😂😂

That´s still their best ..the SL 1000 R , but over $ 16 K 🤑...without cartridges 😂

 

 

Could be worse.  They used to come without a plinth or tonearm...

You needed a heavier head shell?  You youngsters today are so picky.  Back when I was young, we'd just tape a heavy coin or two to the head shell.  No skipping then.  And we liked it!

 

Seriously, I once saw a record player with a steel bottle/can opener taped to the tonearm.  Tracking weight was probably 50-100 grams!

 

BTW, great taste in music.

???  The SL-1210G, the whole SL-12XX series, and the SL-1000 are all direct drive.  Which belt-drive deck were you referring to?
