I'm glad its in your hands and not some electric guitar maniac that would make a guitar amp out of it

It sounds great. I was so impressed with the WOW and Flutter results.

I have the same one. Trying to fix it!

Great machine. One concern would be the wire breaking inside the cartridge. I assume the cartridges were likely user-serviceable and the casing could be opened to repair or replace the wire if needed. Otherwise RCA would be selling a lot of new cartridges.

You could make it stereo then. Brilliant.
