I'd guess at least half of them are quite functional... some of these things are tanks.

PM II?

Or PM2. Lowther? sounds familiar?

In the meanwhile I'll do some research on old TT's 😎

Dave,

Which would be those Garrard Model#?

Anyway those Dual 1210 or higher number seems to be quite a good option.

In your opinion those Garrards would be better than the Duals?

Gosh, hate to give you so much trouble for a free TT.

Boy that Garrard with white headshell and counterweight brings back memories. That's what my parents had. They had a massive Fisher tube receiver too. My mother gave it to the service shop of course. The guy was pretty honest- told her some people really liked them , but it would take about $300 to get it back in shape. I think she even asked all us kids if we wanted it. I was 3000 miles away and figured someone would eventually get it who would appreciate it, so let it go..... sometimes I wake up screaming wishing I hadn't

maybe you better get yourself that garrard, if only for therapeutic reasons.

😱

Here is a close-up of some of the Duals -- 1007 is a number i remember, there is also a 1010 (don't know if they are all pictured). Some Garrard pics coming.

I'm not sure i was clear- It is the receiver I regret losing. I think the turntable would just remind me of the receiver....
Actually the receivers are about $400 on the web I think. So not out of reach if I reallly wanted one. Then would come the restoration- I don't think I have the time or recources for that.
I think good therapy is finishing my Son o Zen and maybe making a gainclone.🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

 

[faustian bargin]

indeed you were clear...i just thought:

i saw that you were having a 'moment'...

the TT was there...

digging up those bottled up emotions...

yearning for closure...



/andrew - the doctor is 'OUT'

 

[Variac]

Yeah, I need therapy

If you want to get poetic, you can do Gromanswe haiku:

the TT was there...
digging up those emotions...
yearning for closure...

gotta have 7 sylables in the second line...

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the effort but really they look much older than what I thought. I'll have to pass on those.

Sorry about the trouble 🙂 🙂 🙂
