Thanks for that Dave.
Some great info there.
I actually have someone who can make a custom subplatter for me.
Are the strobes just a dj thing for regulating pitch now? I remember my dad's old home hifi tt had the strobe and pitch control.

Ho66es - we are actually on the far sides of this island.
Are you ever in Dublin???
I would consider a straight swap if that tt is in fully working state regardless of the lack of lid or cosmetic condition.
I got that cd player brand new. Box, remote, manual and even factory interconnects included.
2 years young with little use as I got the np-s2000 shortly after :-)
Cheers

I am occasionally in Dublin with work but i can never predict when that will be (I repair pcs at out of hours docs services) could be tomorrow could be 3 months :(

when last I plugged it in it all worked fine.

Please let me know when you are heading for Dublin again and I will be happy to swap.

Rega do their own but its about the same price again as the deck. Well worth trying to find a second hand one at a good price (€100 or so).

Dave, secondhand one’s as rare as hens teeth. I’ve been looking for months for one

Hi Max. More or less. Hand held ones with a battery powered strobe are more accurate. There`s also platter speed apps for idiot phones too :-). Never used one though. I just play a record that`s as perfectly centered as I can find and time it over the course of a tune or two. I use the Clearaudio APG which allows almost too much adjustment(!) as the potentiometers are incredibly sensitive.

There's a very good smart phone app called RPM Calculator. It's free and I found it reassuring!

Hi lads.
Thanks for all the help and info.
Quick update - after some more research I have decided to go ahead with brand new rega rp1 from richersounds. Cant go wrong for 199€ posted.

@ho66es - I would like to swap with you still if the cd player is not sold in the meantime.

Cheers.
