What's the tracking weight on that tonearm?
Well, it is very much like weighing gold, one penny weight or two penny weight.
Seriously, I dunno, guess i could measure it.
Anders, yep mine buzzes too. I would expect much of the electronics need to be freshened up. There is a guy selling capacitor kits on ebay:

I have a second that mostly works except it hums. I think the speaker connection came loose. It looks like the little pot metal rivet has disintegrated.
If you are interested, I could send you this second one to use as a guinea pig for refurbing. I would be interested in having you install the above listed cap kit, upgrading the needle and seeing if anything can be done with the speaker. From what I have read it's an odd shape and it's difficult to re-cone.
That way Brian can buy one to send to you so he can have one too
it will fade with time....I know.
Yes Kingman, I am sure it will fade like your Carver hoarding has
.
Isn't there a tv show, for which, we should submit your name ?
