I have a pair of Celestion Ditton 66 studio monitors, the cabinets/enclosures need to be replaced. I can have them made from almost any material. The new cabinets will be made to the exact internal dimensions as the originals. All suggestions welcome, as I have never done this before. Thanks Paul

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another Tasmanian..

Welcome Willem. Great to see another Dutchman on board. genieten

I've had that said to me too many times

I have a set of RTR 800d speakers (photos attached) Does anyone have any information about these? They are open backed for the top 3 drivers, and closed with a foreward firing port for the bass driver. Sorry about the pics. Regards, Paul

Buy some "Rapid Fix" adhesive. I have used it successfully on many bits like this. Only a couple of plastics that it doesn't like.

Where in Victoria are you? If I can organize someone to pick it, I would like to buy it.

Try giving the motor two drops of sewing machine oil. It worked on mine.

I have set of Celestion Ditton 66 studio monitors. Around 1976, sound great.

Thanks vwo60, I will try finding a decent machinist. I have temporarily used some synthetic 80w-90 gear oil in the well. Seems to have tightened things up nicely without straining the motor or slowing down the platter. (Yep, that's a lot of play)

I have a lot of amplifiers in need of repair in Cygnet Tasmania. Does anyone know of a reputable technician to use? Most of the amplifiers are from the 1970s and 1980s (Luxman, Kenwood, Creek, Sansui etc.)

I have an Ar turntable that has a lot of play in the spindle bush. I do not know what is normal for these units, but it seems very excessive. Is there a replacement bush or a "fix" to sort this out? There is a replacement sub chassis at Hifigem in the US, but it is $275.00 US . Cheers Paul

I will test some old triangle ones as well. Try some of my more sacrificial gear the right way and reversed, to hear if there is any difference.

I have acquired two TASCAM 42B-DB reel to reel units. They will need a bit of work in due course. Any opinions on this model would be appreciated. This is my first foray into the reel world. Cheers Paul

Pm sent with details Cheers, Paul
