    Knobs

    I'm not sure if you've tried Mantech? They have some stock. Their website is murder to navigate and doesn't play well with links. If you go to http://www.mantech.co.za, then go to Products -> Hardware -> Knobs -> aluminum you'll see some samples of what there is to choose from. If you check the...

    Pioneer PL-12 Turntable DIY Mod

    aaahhh, so basically, we are just replacing the springs for squash balls? Another thing, you mentioned oiling the spindle. I don't have any 'tubes' to put oil into the spindle, only a small hole for oil to the motor. Do I just put the oil on the shaft and spin it until it gets in there? Thanks...

    Pioneer PL-12 Turntable DIY Mod

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm about to do the same to my grandfather's PL-12E. Went out today and got some nice hardwood to build a new plinth. I've researched Loricraft-style plinths, with minimal success. From what I can tell, you build the walls of the plinth, and then have a lower and...

    Pioneer Project

    So I just inherited a family member's record set up and I think it would be a great fix-up project. Everything is in excellent condition, just a few touch ups are needed. The TT is a Pioneer Pl 12E. It is cosmetically perfect but the belt is very loose. Does anybody know where I could find a...

    That is exactly what I'm rocking right now... Which is why I need to upgrade. Not to mention that the platter wobbles as it spins which makes the arm rise and fall about 1cm every revolution. It's time for some quality!

    Okay now I'm convinced... I will put all other things on hold until I have seen these LP12's. As for listening to your setup, I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

    Ampdog, thanks for the advice. One step at a time! I've been turned off a second hand LP12 slightly. I don't want to pick up years of problems that will cost a lot to fix. Right now I think it's best to get a newer table and then start saving for a new LP12. Unless of course I stumble upon a...

    So it looks like I'm going to go for the Project Debut 3. My only concern now is that it comes with a MM cartridge. Does anybody know if this will work out with the phono stage of my KA-2000? I don't recall it having separate inputs for MM or MC... I've also seen some videos where the platter on...

    Does anybody have experience with Pro-Ject turntables? Any Linn I've caught onto in the past few months has either been sold or was way overpriced..

    Yea I cracked it open and there was years of gunk in there. i'm definitely going to do a full on restore when i get the chance. Switches and pots will be the first victims! the sound is fantastic (out the right channel that is) Now comes the bit where i get laughed at for my ignorance: who...

    Mahleu, I live in JHB. Lets just say that that amp is in better condition then mine! there is something dodgy going on with the left output of my KA-2000.. haven't had time to really get into it but it could just be a switch or something simple. My budget is flexible as I am willing to wait...
