What trans (SUT) for a Victor mc-5E cartridge?
I'm real happy with a Denon AU340 SUT. Has 2 sets of inputs, 3 and 40 ohm selection plus a bypass if one of the inputs that your using is a MM cart. Uses Tamura TKS83 transformers but you can often purchase a complete Denon AU340 from Yahoo Buyee... 
Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
"I recommend an indestructible Victor QL7/QL7A"   I use that motor drive in a Victor CL2P plinth with 2 tonearms. Very good speed stability, JVC/Victor really knew what they were doing when they designed this drive. Extremely well engineered and... 
Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
Just because your biased doesn't mean your right Probably typed without a hint of irony.   Like I stated at the beginning, I own all three types of drives. For sheer fun my restored and hot rodded Russco Studio Pro Model B is the table that ... 
Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
"Just say no to DD."   Wow, as an owner of all types of drives I had to laugh at that moronic statement. There are plenty of vintage DD tables that still perform better than most of the junk sold today. It would take a hell of a good belt drive ... 
Denon DL-103 retipped with micro ridge stylus on boron cantilever & denuded body
@elliottbnewcombjr, I typically pay about 80 bucks for a Denon 103 cart with a broken cantilever. Maybe check with Steve to see if he has any carts that he hasn't done up yet so you can have him build you what you like. Take some time and read up... 
A bit too "non-audiophile", but what are your favorite high-end tuners based on Looks?
Opps, anyway, that's what my Citation 18 tuner looks like. It looks even nicer on the inside if your into high quality military like build specs. Most boards are plug in and all the sockets have the wire's labeled on the chassis for easy service. ...

Upgrade SUT For Denon DL103
I'm pretty happy with my Denon AU-340 SUT, that uses some very nice Tamuri transformers and it doesn't break the bank. Check out the bandwidth of the older higher end Denon products. Tells you a lot about the quality of the transformers. These Tam... 
recommended oil for well tempered spindle cup
The problem with engine oils is that they are designed to absorb moisture, releasing it later when the engine comes up to temperature. I used to smear engine oil on my machine tools as a teenager out in my parents unheated garage to protect them f...

DIY TT
Either the high end Denon or the Victor (JVC) motor units are perfect for doing a DIY turntable. Lots of information on either if you do a search.   BillWojo  
Where did he go?
I sent him a message the other day and received no response, figured as such. So now he is cut off from the rest of the world.   BillWojo  
Where did he go?
He's been suspended. And yes, he is out spoken, I sure hope he doesn't do/say something that gets him in trouble over there. At least when I'm mad at my government, like I am now, actually really pissed they don't cart me off never to be heard fro... 
Where did he go?
Just heard back from Chakster, he is well, but suffering because of the events. All commerce in or out for him is halted, no way to transfer money anymore. He said not to try and contact him on this site, he can't reply. He is on Vinyl Engine but... 
Where did he go?
I just contacted him on another forum, hopefully all is well. If I hear back from him I will post an update. Who knows whats going on there, crazy times we live in.   BillWojo
