  1. Care to share your settings. I'm still learning
  2. Maybe a quick hit with a lighter will stop fraying?
  3. I made one of these today. Nice and heavy and the surface certainly stops any chance of slippage.
  4. I bought a CIG Weldskil 185. It's a 10AMP plug. You need to buy the TIG torch seperate. Most other machines are 15AMP. But in hindsight I should have bought just a TIG/ARC machine or dedicated TIG. This would require a 15AMP outlet to be installed.
  5. Finished stands On to a second pair
  6. Thanks mate. Yeah these are measured to sit at head height.. Fun skill to learn.
  7. I always wanted to learn to weld so I bought a multiprocess welder and have been having fun. I thought I'd start with a pair of surround speaker stands. The cable will be run inside the tube and powder coated.
  8. If it was an engine I'd say piston slap. As a joke
  9. Tis the season for cue arm damping issues it would seem
  10. Hi Gary, It's all good now. the fluid worked fine. The mechanism is basic as it gets. It's a brass rod that slide into a brass tube. I put fluid around the rod and that provides the friction to dampen the movement. Is the bottom of the brass tube open or closed? If open over time the fluid will drain out over time. Just cheap design.
  11. Big huge thanks to Grumpy for providing some fluid. Job done. Tone arm drops nice and slow. Looks like the design allows the fluid to just drop out over time?
  12. Can machine oil be used? Or a silicone oil from Bunnings. After all isn't dampening fluid just thin oil?
  13. I have an issue I hope there's an easy fix for. When I lower the tone arm is pretty much sticks for most of the lower then drops suddenly. How do I fix this? The TT is an AT-LP120XUSB Thanks Peter PS I hope everyone is staying COVID free.
  14. My mum had a squeeze box. My dad never got any sleep at night
  15. Why I used to buy best of albums. An LP release always had songs that were not much chop. I got The best of ELO last Volume 2 was only released on LP in Spain but Vol 2 has a lot of gr4eat stuff
  16. I was thinking of the new Single by "The Knack" It's a catchy tune titled "My Corona"
  17. I scored ELO Greatest hits Vol 1 for $15 at the local market. Record looks brand new. Now to get Vol 2. Apparently only released at LP in Spain?
  18. I saw the True Colours LP when it came out. Hmmm I wonder if my cousin still has it
  19. I was a kid last time I saw that movie
