Hello VHF forum
« on: November 25, 2011, 11:05:26 PM »
Kevin from Plum here. Been outa the audio scene for too long, yearning to treat my bad ears to some fine audio again.

Back in the day I worked at Ovation Audio in East Liberty, fixin whatever the customers blew up. But that was a part time gig, my day job was building war toys. I did get my Maggies there. But they are long gone.

Looking to restore my Tandberg TR-2075, TCD-330 tape deck, and Thorens TD 126 MkII turntable w/Infinity Black Widow arm.  I have no idea what this stuff is worth these days. I brought it all with me from Germany.

Anyone who has worked on the receiver is invited to chime in with advice!

Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving!

Hi Kevin and welcome.  Those are wonderful pieces and should sound as good as ever with a bit of TLC. I use to have a Tandberg TR 1055 and a Thorens TD 125 MK II with an  SME arm and wish I could have them back.   Tom and Anders at Vintage HiFI can fix anything if a restoration is in order.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Hello Kevin,

Ovation Audio was one of the few places I didn't work for.
I still have most of the audio stuff I bought.

If you need any help restoring your stuff just let me know.

I appreciate all the kind welcomes to the club!

I plan on a pilgrimage to Babcock Blvd in the near future, bringing my receiver along.

Does anyone know what became of Tasso Spanos? He used to own the Opus One audio store on Smithfield Street. I was exposed to high end audio there for the first time.

I found this little blurb about him.
