    Corrosion Prevention on Outdoor Connectors

    I just installed new banana plugs and had to chop over an inch of wire to get away from the corrosion. A few more times like this and I'll run out of length on these long runs of cable that are inside wall and neatly stapled through the patio area. What's the ticket for weatherproofing these...

    Install connectors to avoid (de)soldering?

    Hello everyone, I just purchased a NOS Syntec S220 and crackles when I move the tonearm or when playing a record. I've seen a similar posted question in the past. Is this related to the wires? I tried disconnecting the ground and that it didn't help. Thanks!

    Refurbishing AC connections on vintage receivers

    I have some vintage 70s receivers I would like to bring up to today's standards. The first thing that really annoys me are the two prong AC plugs with ancient wiring. But now we have the old problem of knowing where to stop. My take is: If I'm going to upgrade the AC plug and cut a hole in...

    Original Thorens TD160 arrives on my SHELF and asking folks questions

    Hi If anyone wants to welcome me to the Thorens camp, I'M ALL IN! The seller claimed not to use it much since 1974 when he bought one and it was pretty much correct statement. That did not make this turntable any more marketable than one that had been in usage at all except chassis is really in...

    cartridge clips

    Trying to source some inexpensive cartridge clips in my quest to install new lead wires. Can anyone point me to some generics that will fit the approx 1.25mm pins? I'm seeking the kind of wire terminal which can be expanded with a toothpick if need be.
