    Any Philips AF-777 gurus out there?

    Yes, thoroughly cleaned them more than once. the strange thing is, when I got the turntable the speed was fairly stable, just a occasional dip.

    if you could go take back one piece of sound equipment you got rid of

    I'd like to have back a lot of things I sold or gave away back when I got into this hobby and vintage gear was so cheap I was constantly "upgrading". But the one that I still think about now and then was a minty Technics SA-500, the first really nice vintage receiver I found. I gave it to my...
