    Realistic Lab 400 pot wiring

    I picked up a Lab 400 this summer for 10$. When I got the speed was inconsistent and would spin sometimes or not at all. I cleaned the pots and it seemed to get better.

    Realistic Lab 400, Cart/Headshell gage dimension?

    Will be doing a setup of new Grado Gold2 cart in Technics headshell, for Realistic Lab 400. I have a Technics style gage. Anyone know what the desired gage dimension should be for this TT?

    One table I'm considering is a Philips 202 in same family as original owner. Asking$100 Sitting unused for many years. Also found a Realistic Lab 400 asking $45 but communication has stopped from the seller. Let me know if you consider those to be solid units for sound, cost of maintenance, and...
