That Credenza's motorboard is like no other I have ever seen. That thing has been beat to heck and back, I'll bet! No Victor ID plate, wrong (not to mention, in the wrong place) needle holders....
Carsten made one up from scratch once, using a modified Ultona reproducer fitted up to an orthophonic (I think it was an automatic one, a 10-50 maybe). He described the whole process of modifying, installing, etc. on Dan Gitmo's old board. That post is vapor, unless someone kept a copy for archive purposes, but I remember it.1926CredenzaOwner wrote:UNGH! I want to hear that too!

I have a Bush & Lane 'Duo-Vox' with a totally trashed cabinet. The 'Duo-Vox' tone arm has two reproducers mounted on two crooks at the end of the arm, hydra-like, like a Victor Borgia II -- one for lateral and the other DD vertical. I suppose I should salvage it and remount it on something -- along with precision leg levelers in order to use it!Schmaltz wrote:Carsten made one up from scratch once, using a modified Ultona reproducer fitted up to an orthophonic (I think it was an automatic one, a 10-50 maybe).

Yes, I have also wondered over these past 5 months where he's gone. I haven't noticed any of his massive ebay auctions taking place either.Discman wrote:Speaking of Carsten, what happended to him? Is he posting somewhere under another name?
