Fantastic memories David indeed myself many decades ago i had a dansette record player myself a dansette major in red and white Rexine fabric with a BSR UA 8 auto changer deck brilliant memories of it and the sound of it with the unique smell it had as well especially when the valve amplifier was warm brilliant memories 😊

Nice to see those old record players brought back to life, Dave'...nice work.

[@DavidHallettProjects]

Glad you enjoyed it Hate to see them bined

The Dancette Viva I had in the 70's was all black on the outside with a bright red on the inside. The BSR deck was deep blue with a lighter blue tone arm. It looked awesome.

This one is a bit battered bat has a great sound and the autochanger works fine. Thanks for your comment Dave

Good to see you back 😊👍

[@DavidHallettProjects]

Thank you, I just needed a reset over the Summer but now happy to to be back

There's nothing like the sound from a 1960s record player. Well done for fixing this Dave. By the way, the Rotel, Luxman and Stax headphones are working just fine and are sounding great.

[@DavidHallettProjects]

Thanks for your comment. Yes they are magic to watch. I am going to push the limits in my next video by playing 78RPM shalac discs. Take care Dave

i have the code 2006 HMV which is mid 60s. strangely it runs a bit fast .. almost all 45rpm records are sounding a bit pinky and perky.. is this adjustable ?

[@DavidHallettProjects]

A worn belt or pinch wheel will cause a speed increase, more obvious on 45rpm. Replacing the worm item should sort the problem. Hope this helps. David

A record player should not be put in the attic as it gets damp it is best put in a dry place when not in use i keep mine in a warm room
