All work done by AK members, with the exception of the cover. Cover from EBay.
. For those who don't, that's alright as well. I am VERY late getting pics up. Right now have my AR-TA set up in my office. It's still needing some work and love but at least it is up and running. I actually will be adding some legs to it so it doesn't sit flush with the receiver. Need a bit of space for the Yamaha to breathe. The dust cover that I bought with it is in ROUGH shape. I polished it, but there are some scratches so deep I think I just need a new one. Need a new mat, and plan on repainting the plinth. It has a scuff on whatever texture material they put on the plinth, but it's minor, and I think if I paint it it won't be noticeable. Need to polish the base of the tonearm, but mostly in decent shape. Mighty proud of the CR-820 I picked up at a great price on the 'bay. It was listed 'untested' and 'for parts.'. But looked in good shape, so I took the gamble. $200 later (after the shipping cost) and I am VERY pleased. Waited literally 7 years. Opened it up and found minimal dust and no rusting. Cleaned the knobs and she fired right up. Very light scratching. Only issue is the radio. The tuner sometimes struggles finding a signal. Not sure if that's the antenna or tuner. Lights obviously blown but it's a beauty. Can't wait till the whole rig is finalized. Might take another few years haha.
That is one of the best looking tables I've ever seen! Just beautiful!
