fini Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 My other possible options seem to be dry. I know my friends here will turn me on! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 There seem to be endless options for witty comebacks on that one Fini but I'll leave it alone for now. Can't help on the black widow. Who makes it (or made it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 closed down right now but i am watching the site for you!

fini Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Justin, I'd call you good if you could hack in there and snag that manual!! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 JaS, from the Vinyl Engine, was kind enough to send a scan in PDF! He says te forum will be back up soon. Nice guy, and valuable resource, that forum! Seems most people wanna make a buck (or 20) for a simple scan. It is refreshing to run across someone who is helpful...like folks here!! fini P.S. If anyone wants a copy, just send $10 to fini@ripoff.com. P.P.S. Just kidding!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike82 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Fini: I bought a Denon DP1000 t-table back around '77 and had the Black Widow arm installed. Delicate thing, ain't it? FWIW, I tried a lot of cartridges on it and settled on a Grace F9L. Good synergy and the F9L wasn't one of those cartridges whose suspension would crap out if you burped next to it. They show up on Ebay. What current cartridge are you considering? It needs to be high-compliance for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Mike, It'll be a Shure V15 type IV, with a type III replacement stylus (Shure is out of the type IV styluses). I'm waiting for the stylus to arrive. Are you currently without TT? fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike82 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 No t-t now. I sold my SOTA Star about 7 years ago and also sold a lot of my LPs (French/Brit EMI, Mercs, Astree, Shaded/White Dogs, Hyperion). Damn!! I've thought about getting another t-t, like a Music Hall MMF-7 or Rega, but I'm not sure I'll be happy with that level of quality. I don't feel like spending $5-10K and then having to hunt decent LPs down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
