I've dusted off theturntable, etc. since we moved recently. I also want to RIP a bunch of shelac and some vinyl. I have a Sony TA-1150 amp that I bought used in the '80s. The switched and linear pots were noisy until I moved it 50 miles in the back of the van - now it works great! The turntable is an old Dual 1209 that needs the on/off switch that activates when the arm lifts either cleaned or hot-wired. I have the 78rpm needle for it - don't remember the cartridge now, an a "TC778" equalizer to feed the Sony when playing the 78s.
We have around 8 shelf feet of 78s that have been in the family since the 1920s, need to get on the project someday!
