One of my old "test gadgets" has a 115v built-in variac. I use it with a 220-110V step-down transformer, and it works well enough for almost all the testing I ever do.

This is the answer from OpenAI Chat: "The weather did not play a significant role in Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The battle was fought on October 21st, a relatively calm day with light winds. The wind was not a factor that affected the outcome of the battle. Nelson's...

Yes, I have the Ortofon S15-T which is a MC with built-in SUT. I think it is "related" to my SL15 - see pic. The S15-T is a superb cartridge, one of the best I have heard.

I hope you are not dissing my British Dogturdia 2 - this is not the cheap BD1... In any event, after the snoekbraai on the West Coast, the manne did a blind listening test between the BD2 and my Garrard 301, and most agreed David Kramer sounds better on the BD2 but Johannes Kerkorrel is best...

This is the one I found and fixed while on holiday earlier this year. They are well worth getting up and running again - easy to work on (turntable lego) and can sound very good!

I just saw this now - I am also "busy" restoring another one. Will these pictures help? PM me if you want them via email, or have other questions. Belts are difficult to find, so I glue them up from round rubber stock from Cape Rubber Supplies. For motor hanging belts, my favourite is double...
