Think you know analog?

Um, the guy may be able to scratch (I don't know don't listen to that $hit) but my bleeping god. I knew more about turntable setup when I was about 12 years old than he does.

The SL-1200MKII series of tables rock, I had one modded by Kevin at KAB (brother-in-law has it now) and it holds its own but this video only proves to me to NEVER EVER BUY a DJ table esp. if a scratcher used it off eBay or Craigslist etc. The table in the video looks thrashed and I bet the arm bearings are buggered up as well as platter bearing.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

It's too bad Technics stopped making new SL-1200MKII's because out of the box brand new they are nice machines.

Dhl93449,

Actually wood glue as an LP cleaner is not a crazy idea. I've tried it and also Elmers school glue a few times. These glues are safe (being a vinyl based glues) and applied evenly using a piece of stiff cardboard as a spreader. I attached pieces of paper in a few places around the edge of the LP as a way to once the glue was dry pry up the glue and peel off. Doing this makes removing the dried glue easy. The glue once removed leaves no residue. It can peel of quite cool as you will then see the positives of the grooves in the glue.

Anyways this is not a solution for all cleaning as it takes TOO LONG for the glue to dry and its rather expensive as you'd go through a lot of glue to do many LP's. But to try it on a few won't hurt and you may be happy with the results.
