I have one of these! They are a great sounding turntable!

[@TestingWithMike]

They absolutely are. My uncle hooked it up afterwards and the only way I can describe the sound was "butter"

[@DavidPhinijdamm]

Good job! I'm happy it is running again. Subscribed :)

[@TestingWithMike]

Thanks for watching 😀

The thumbnail fucking got me but I do have a soft spot for Turntables so it is nice seeing one being repaired by a beautiful bearded man

[@TestingWithMike]

Lol im glad you like it :) And thank you for the compliment sir

Sometimes the "yellow mustard" non-polar capacitors go bad as well; They don't typically short circuit but they can leak DC voltage a little or even go open circuit.

Great to know! Thank you

[@TestingWithMike]

You're welcome 😊

That is one of the best Thorens TT. And it has an SME arm. Your uncle knows his audio.

[@TestingWithMike]

It was a pleasure to work on it as well. It would have been nice to have the axial capacitors to keep the nostalgic feel, but it works again!

Reminds me of working at Dell... Busted caps on optiplex gx270...

[@TestingWithMike]

The 90s and early 2000s had some extra bad caps that doubled as fireworks

What is a turntable? 🤔

[@TestingWithMike]

It's like the lasy Susan you probably still have next to the Beatrix Potter collection on your table
