I bought a new turntable after seeing adverts for turntables which asked, "Do you want to revive your old record collection"? And, as I'd recently seen the new Bob Marley film, I was eager to revive my collection of his albums, some of which are 1970's originals. After setting this turntable up, following Teacs instructions, it was necessary to reset, as the needle skidded over the surface of my old records. Once I'd got the settings right, and thoroughly cleaned my old records, everything works wonderfully well, and sounds good too. The turntable looks good, and appears well made. Big thanks to Jack at K&B Audio for his help in my deciding to buy this product.
