They are designed that way. The valve remains in stand-by mode and keeps on glowing permanently under normal operating conditions (subject to ESKOM doing its job...). I am sure there are good reasons for this design feature, but I would suggest that you contact Schalk directly. Regards

Hi Great music/blues revival happening in and around Cape Town. Here are some bands/artists really worth keeping an eye out for: * Crimson House - I have never seen a band riper to make a breakthrough into the big time - one of my favourites * Mr. Cat & The Jackal - Truly interesting and...

Thanks Skollie This weekend is a bit of a challenge for me, I will PM you in the next few days. Regards

Hi Skollie Thank you very much for the response, I really appreciate it. This one has a replacable stylus, the whole silver part can be removed which exposes the entire cantilever/coil mechanism (the magnets are attached to the black body). So, that makes the opening up of the cartridge /...

I have come across this NOS Glanz MC cartridge with a removable stylus. Please forgive my dodgy photography "skills", the picture does no justice to its superb, brand new condition....  However, it seems as if the "suspension" of the cantilever has collapsed! At the right settings and even...

The man who so generously offered the advice for the fix, is the right man for the job, if you're close to Cape Town. Give him a shout...

Stunning table! I like it very much....

Pretty, pretty, pretty.... and very cool to boot....

Spectacular result Aqualung, congratulations! I often wonder what the creators of these magnificent machines would have thought of the results of our loving care and efforts. I cannot imagine that they would have foreseen that their creations would have lasted this long, but I am sure they...

Wow Ian, that's really impressive work! I am no expert in aluminium, but a few questions pop into my mind: Tarnish: Wouldn't your polished end-product tarnish terribly over time (is anodizing the answer)? Electrolysis: Would this be a problem between the mating-surfaces of the different...

One to watch. Already 3rd/4th largest maker of TV's and large appliances globally, with plans to become the biggest. Creating significant collaborations with other top brands in terms of integration. They have a local support Website that is very user friendly. Remember; people used to be...

Congratulations, what an absolutely beautiful piece of engineering!

Nice find JQ, Congratulations! In your capable hands I'm sure she will be spinning perfectly pretty soon. What cart is on there? Regards

One was placed on Gumtree 25 minutes ago, I was number three to call and it had already been sold, but, wait for it: FOR R800.00! This must go down as the best buy of the year.... Wonder if a fellow forumite was the lucky one? Regards

Thanks Johann I will be away for a couple of days, so I will have to take a rain-check on this one and come over when you have completed the second one. I will give you a shout later in the week. Regards

Thank looks simply awesome! It suddenly looks much more retro-Japanese "high-end". Bulletproof internals. Very nice table and definitely worth the effort.... I am really impressed with the re-skin you did, looking forward to seeing it "in-the-metal" when you invite me over! Regards

Hi Shaun Welcome. This has been one of the most interesting posts on the forum recently! Your example has inspired me to tackle something similar that I have been wanting to do for a while but that I have not been able to muster up the courage to do - mainly due to time, cost and other...

I own an older model VA Exclame 80, which I bought from Schalk about two years ago. That purchase turned out to be an eye-opener in itself, insofar as the unexpectedly excellent service I got from Schalk - but that story is well recorded on this very forum.... Anyway, one recent morning I...

Another interesting feature of this table is that it has compartments filled with lead-shot, which makes it quite heavy....

Mr. Mars, that looks very neat and functional - just the way I like them..... Beautiful work, as usual. I have so many questions to ask you, but I'll take it offline. Maybe a visit some time is in order? Regards
