Pretty sure it the arm suspension as the weight isn’t doing anything. Sorry I haven’t got a clue with stuff like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will when get back in and yes it is. No matter how much we try and adjust the balance of the arm it still sits tight on the lp . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counter-weight slides up and down the end of the arm, it should click into place, is it possible the weight isn’t where it should be? Also the counter-weight rotates as per the graduations on the dial. Aside from the counter-weight the there “anti skate” dial which may also need adjustment Heres a video in setting up your deck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 29, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2023 Anyhooo… HMV purchases. The only way to buy in there is if it’s in the 3 for £55 deal or 2 for £40 at a push. Anyway this is well worth the £18.50 (inc 50p for the bag the robbing bar stewards) Sparks - Past Tense three slabs of vinyl in a career spanning retrospective Edit: I just realised the annoying Beat the Clock, which must be one of their biggest hits isn’t on here. Kudos for that because I never liked it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 29, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2023 So second up another career retrospective compilation, this time the highly influential band Suicide - Surrender, a double album I didn’t realise at the time of purchase but Suicide / Sparks both duos, both early pioneers of the Synth, both one word names starting with S. Hmmmm. No real point in putting the cover up, it’s white and embossed in white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 29, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2023 And the third from today… I sort of wanted this when it came out a while back but I wasn’t paying 30 odd quid when I already had a fair few tracks but it does have some crucial Scratch that I didn’t have, specific mixes and suchlike anyway when it’s down to £18.50 (inc bag) that’s a different matter. I reckon I could do a good 24 hour no repeat DJ session where I play just £$P tracks now Lee Scratch Perry - King Scratch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for that because I never liked it My Baby's Taking Me Home is a total masterpiece, I can't get enough of that song. Dick Around is genius too. Lil Beethoven and Hello Young Lovers are just two superb albums. I saw them live earlier this year, they were great (well, the second half of the set anyway, wasn't quite so keen on the first half so much). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 just giving this its first play - made by Tim Smith who used to front Midlake. Nice so far and suits the frosty morning in Devon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted December 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2023 Finally. It's been an astonishing level of faffing to actually get to this point, but it's here, and it really is pretty good. Hasn't got a real kickass heavy tune on it, which usually there is something a bit heavier, but it's still an album of sweeping highs and lows and emotion and fun and wonderful tunes and invention. Love it. Not sure any individual song on it I would rate amongst his best (although I might change my mind in time) but as an entirety it's a great album.
