No problem.
I understand completely. Thanks for letting me know

I've got a sound clip and a video showing it spinning. Everything works and I even gave the stylus a quick clean this morning. And it sounds the better for it.

Any questions let me know.

I cleaned the tip of the stylus today and played it again. It honestly sounds not that bad. I'm sure it's sure some life left in it.
This upgraded deck has got the potential to make any system sing.
Come and get it!

£280 collected (CR0).

Thanks

Even more pictures...

More pics below...

Sure.
I'll update the "for sale" post this week and I'll PM you once sorted.
"Some time this week" good enough or are you in any hurry to see some pics?

No worries.
You only missed it by a week anyway... ;D
(next one around in Feb-Mar?).

A "nothing posh" stylus will likely be sub-£20.

Amazon will do the Audio Technica VM95E for £42 atm (I had the VM95ML on my other TT for 2 years of semi-intense usage).
I'm not on comm and there are other brands out there (Goldring, Ortofon, etc.).

The good thing with the tonearm (I think) is that it gives you the option to fit a DJ-style headshell should you be tempted.

I've also edited the description (not a Shure cart but Ortofon).

Only selling as it's surplus to requirements. Everything works.
Cart included but new stylus will be required.

I've decided to sell my second TT, a Pioneer PL-12D from c.1973 ('Made in Japan') as it's just sitting there unused.
Professionally serviced by Brett at HEAR in Lewes and upgraded with tonearm rewired and modern power cable.
Smoke Grey lid has various light marks but no cracks.
Lovely dark brown wooden plinth.
Ortofon cart (new stylus required).
I still have the Ortofon VM33 mkII it came with originally.
£280 collected from CR0 (or RH16, Sussex if I must).

Strictly collection only

Will add some pics shortly.

Sweet.
It's a lovely and very capable TT, however it's surplus to requirement so it might as well get enjoyed by someone else.

@J0nathan and anyone else...

The South-East London vinyl pop-up is back this Saturday (04/11) from 12noon.

Same location again: The Jolly Sailor (SE25 6EB)
Train/Overground: Norwood Junction stn
Buses: 197, 176, 75, 312...

Myself and 2 new dealers (1 is "obscure alternatives" type like new wave/cold wave/goth..., other one is more groovy/soul/jazz/reggae).

If you go down the shop route, ask for shop credit/trade-in as opposed to cash maybe (they may have something you like the look of).
You're almost guaranteed very low sell price with most shops. And it's worth shopping around if you can.
Selling direct (discogs/eBay/local fair) will bring you the most ££ obvs (and could be fun).

Enjoy... <3

I love Guru. Hearing his voice and flow is pure nectar to my ears.
That Jazzmatazz (vol.1) album is an all-time favourite of mine.

You might be correct. Tar rather than nicotine. Equally horrible stuff. And so hard to get off your hands. To think this will be lining the walls of your lungs as you indulge as a smoker. I can't think of a better reason never to pick up a cigarette ever.

I noticed quite a few tabac fields in France which I haven't seen for a long time.

Maybe it's booming again. I doubt they feed it to the cattle. Are you sure it's not sugar beets?
I spent a few summers when I was a teenager picking up leaves in tobacco fields. Back-breaking, low-paying (obvs undeclared by the local slavedriver of a farmer) tough job.
The dark nicotine residue on your finger nails after a week's work is enough to get anyone never to take up smoking.

(hourly rate paid to us at the end of the season was something like £1.35 c. 1987-88)

Does anyone have experience of selling records at record fairs?

Either that or sell to a dealer/reseller as one job lot.
I do (sell at) fairs fairly regularly in the South/South-East. PM me if you've got questions about fairs in general or anything specific you want to know.

Decent-sized digging fest tomorrow at Peckham's Copeland Building.
No Hackney or Walthamstow mega fairs this year. :(
See Hackney Flea Market on socials.

I've got a few cuttings ready to be potted in the next week or 2.
They've been in water for 3-4 weeks and green shoots are visible which is encouraging.

My reaction too but we had to make the call as was too close to our property.
We did enjoy plenty of fruits during that time.
:(

Lots of very good new jazz (nu jazz?) in Gilles P's show last Saturday on BBC 6Music.
Mostly UK acts with the obligatory tune by Ezra Collective and the promising young chaps of Oreglo.

Hello garden people,

I cut down 4 weeks ago a tree from our small London garden. Applied some root killer to the stump, which has now turned a dark shade of brown. Should I cut/dig out the roots to stop them from growing back or just leave the nasty chemicals to do the job for me?
I was planning to apply some more in a couple of weeks actually.
The tree was a 4-5 y.o. fig tree, trunk about 20cm diam.

London diggers... FYI
The traditional Hackney Record Fair isn't happening this year (at least not in Hackney), instead there's one on 1st Oct in Peckham (Bussey Building). Same organiser.
