Actually, the larger images do look good. But you are correct the lack of any white space at the top does give the impression that something is missing. Still an outstanding issue! On 04/16/2011 10:01 PM, Tim McCormick wrote: Folks, Michael Evans (our new graphic designer) attempted a

Hello All: I am working on an Orthophonic Victrola V V-4-40 and have cleaned out the old grease at the base of the tonearm as it attaches to the bracket bolted to the rear of the turntable deck. I find 5 small ball bearings there; one per divot in the cup on the bottom of the bracket. Am I nuts
