Title: My turntable
Post by: mikey813 on May 27, 2010, 06:50:40 PM
Here is a picture of my new to me turntable. It is a Sansui FR-D3. It is much better then my Technics SL-Q200.  ;D ;D ;D  It has a SC-50 Sansui Cartridge and a SN-50 needle. It is a fantastic table and is also very nice looks wise.

Very nice Mikey!

I'd be willing to bet some general epoxy or even super glue gel would hold that metal trim down on the left hand side! Also, if you're very careful, you can use something like Mothers Aluminum & Chrome polish on the tonearm and platter to make them gleam like new! You might also wanna give the rest of it a wipe down with a damp lint free cloth. A clean table is a happy table!

Enjoy the awesome addition. You might also wanna check this out http://www.enjoythemusic.com/freestuff.htm (http://www.enjoythemusic.com/freestuff.htm)

It's a really great tonearm / cartridge setup guide with a free printable cartridge alignment tool. It's based on the best average tangent angle of the stylus across the entire arc length that the tonearm covers while playing on the record surface.

Awesome site and thanks for the info.  ;D ;D I think I am going to clean it up. I think it definitely has potential to look really good. I will take after pics and post them in this topic or another topic.
