What's Spinning

The Verve - Urban Hymns (1997) - Spinning this today not only because it's a great album with one of my favorite 90's songs ("Sonnet") but also because I was happy to hear about Richard Ashcroft finally getting the royalties for "Bittersweet Symphony" back from The Rolling Stones after over 20 years

I was reading that too. He's had his ups and downs, I'm glad this got resolved. Such a beautiful album that transports me back to that time.
 
I will be glad spin some stuff tomorrow

100%

is this an original TT cabinet or did you make it

(y)

PLan to spin the new one first tomorroe

I really, really want this, I have the Rumours one
This is an original Magnavox console. Over the years I have gutted it replacing the turntable and speakers just because the originals were losing their luster...but I liked the console look so I’ve built around it.
 
nice, I had a console but the TT died and I wasn't in a place to try and get it fixed or try gut it so I sold it
My gut job was totally off the cuff. My TT started sounding terrible suddenly so I had to act quickly or else...not listen to records (and that was not an option). The trick was finding a TT small enough to fit...those consoles have pretty small TTs. I found one on Amazon called a Project Elemental. I ordered it as it was around $200. When it arrived, there was some mix up and they sent me Project Essential RecordMaster TT...over double the value (but much larger than the Essential). So I broke out my carpenter hat...didn't really know I had one. With some wood from my garage and a level and some saws, drill etc...I have what I have today.

wow, there is no way I would have done that kind of surgery on a TT
