Not 'modern' in any electrical sense (motor is strong and appears to be well designed), but everything is mechanical and Rube Goldbergish (no servos, PLL, quartz lock, etc,). If you look at the underside, it's stamped steel and metal mechanical parts. My impression is that there's not a lot that will 'break' on these decks, as long as they are not abused.
For example, I found a NOS alignment jig (used to set zero point tangency), new strobe housing frame (flimsy plastic-original split), 45 rpm spindle, C-3 cartridge slide, etc). I doubt you will find any NOS parts other than small accessory items that have been packed away at old, out of business, repair shops, and now rediscovered. Parts? Your best bet would be to find another in relatively good condition. Even the 4Tb HDDs in my external B/U drives and NAS will probably be replaced with SSD's within a couple of years.Įven with all of this modern technology, I still get a special pleasure from listening to all kinds of music of various levels of resolution through my 25 y/o, 30 pound Classé Model Seventy Class AB amplifier that is connected via balanced interconnects to my thoroughly modern Topping DX7s DAC.Ĭlick to expand.Platter should rotate freely with no appreciable wobble. Ten years ago I was still using 1.44Mb floppies and transitioning to USB flash drives - and now I have lots of MicroSD cards up to 32Gb and will be getting larger ones soon. That is less than 3% of the capacity of the below MicroSD card - a tiny storage device that is only 11x15mm - so small that it us difficult to handle and insert and remove from connection ports And today, a large "boxed set" collection like the complete Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Fritz Reiner RCA collection is available on 63CDs for $999 - or you can download the entire collection as about 12.5Gb of FLAC files.
