Johnny Bee Goode
Back on Black
Happiness is a new silicone motor drive belt direct from the UK.
Update July 2019: the turntable started behaving real weird and running backwards, OK for hidden Beatles lyrics but not so good for Oscar Peterson, Bartok string quartets, or Kathleen Ferrier. Not to worry, removed the motor cover and found the 220nF, motor control film capacitor was cracked and looking generally RS. So found a higher spec replacement on Ebay and heated up the soldering iron, also checked and oiled the bearing and adjusted the the motor alignment. Then started playing records and couldn't stop for hours, talk about a revelation - rock solid sound, instruments emerging from layers of music and finger snappin' rhythm. Anyway it's a cold Rainy Day, Blond on Blond is on the platter and I gotta go flip the disk for Sad Eyed Lady... Oh, and that cool, new capacitor proudly declares itself: Made in Finland, who would'a thought.
