    Over the past several months I have been experimenting with improvements to an old pair of University S-80 speakers. Changes have been basic, and I have done work to one speaker then compared with unmodified one then leap frogging changes. Work done to date: New caps - Bed liner applied to...

    VM mid-century mystery

    Cartridge quandaries....

    Hey All, It has been quite a while sense I've checked in. I have slowly been acquiring parts to up grade the arm on the Walker CJ 58 turntable. I'm taking a quantum leap up to a Luxman TA 1. I have a Shure V15 III cartridge I had been planning to use, but needs a new stylus. And this is where...

    Luxman TA 1 - Whats to be done first?

    On a whim I recently purchased a Luxman TA 1 (anyone else out there do foolish things like this?). When it arrived from Japan it was not in the best of shape. The bearings were VERY stiff to the point I thought it would have to be junked out for parts. On top of that, the headshell had taken a...

    More Walker CJ58 issues.....RPMs this time around!

    The surface of the nylon drive pulley on my Walker CJ 58 is very smooth and slick. Belt spillage is a problem. I have tried four belts on the machine, starting with the size prescribed for the 58 and three successive sizes smaller. Only the smallest diameter belt will get the platter up to...

    JC Walker Turntable group

    "The case of the mysteriously reversing turntable"

    OK here is the scoop guys - I rebuilt a Walker 58 TT. I have been having fun with it for a couple of weeks with no issues. Two days ago when turning on the motor it occasionally will start running counter clock wise. By turning it off and then on again most times it rights itself. What are your...

    I got the Walker 58 RPM blues!

    As some of you might know I recently purchased a Walker 58 turntable it has turned out to be a really beautiful machine. However, when it arrived it was pretty much a basket case.

    Turntable recomendations?

    Good evening all, I see a lot of similar injuries in this category. I want to listen to vinyl again after a very long hiatus. Looking at used machinery out there there simply too many choices. I've narrowed the field to two thus far. First, any of the ERA tables. I remember reading about these...

    400 Center channel questions

    Last week I added an amplified center channel bass speaker to the 400 using the RCA jack on the back of the unit. The results are mixed. Blues and R + R in is a good addition, only at very low volume levels. Vocal jazz the added bass is a distraction. All this started me wondering what signal is...
