Hey everyone - been trying to figure out this hum in my AR turntable and im looking to test the continuity measurements between the headshell contacts and the RCA contacts. I just got a multimeter and I am looking to try this test myself. I have never used a multimeter.

Hey folks,
Just wondering if anyone has the dimensions for the ARXA plinth?
I have a AR77XB that Id like to swap into a nicer base. Thinking I might as well build a base.

So one day not long ago, I was listening to a record and all of sudden the platter slowed way down.
Since then I've changed the belt twice, applied talc, re-oiled everything, and tried different outlets, but I still can't get the platter up to playing speed. On top of that, when I drop the...
