Merci, grâce à vous j'ai pu changer la courroie du pitch

Je suis heureux que vous l'ayez trouvé utile. Cheers, Chris

Well done, I enjoyed your presentation. I have the same deck and it has not been used for years so I anticipate that it may well need new belts. My late father left a huge collection of LP's, many more than I have, so I have another retirement project. The speed check was quite novel too.

[@handyman-at-home]

Thanks for the feedback! I too have been sorting through my collection of (mainly 80's) LP's, though it sounds like you've got a bigger task on your hands .... Cheers, Chris

I’ve got one of these decks. About 45 years old now & stored in the loft. Sadly the lid broke over 30 years ago where it attaches to the hinges. 😢

[@handyman-at-home]

That's a bummer! I gave mine a clonk when I was taking it off... 😅 I managed to sell it for just under £140 in the end, so if you could lay your hands on a spare lid it might be worth your while. Cheers, Chris

Hello, l have problem with annoying subtle feedback from right channel of CS 505-4. Suspect its the grounding issue. More prominent on riggt channel. Any idea?

[@handyman-at-home]

Hi, Not sure I can really help. The only issue I experienced when testing the turntable before selling it was that I got a large ground hum at one point. I tracked this down to a bad connection in the RCA connector from the turntable to the pre-amp.

[@suhaiminapisfbsb8351]

Thanks ok l will try to trace

[@umeshupadhyay...]

When are you going to sell it on ebay,please do inform.If possible I may also bid for it.

[@handyman-at-home]

Sorry, I already sold it. Thanks

that belt is not the official belt is it? it looks too wide

[@handyman-at-home]

Hi, It wasn't an official DUAL belt, though you'd probably need a second mortgage to get one of those ..... I'd guess it might have been about 0.5mm wider than the one I took off, but that had certainly stretched over the 30+ years of its life so who knows what the original width was. The one I fitted didn't seem too wide to me and certainly worked fine as far as I could tell. Cheers, Chris
