I have this "James Bond" combo unit and would like advice about two things:
1) it works well for what it is, but the motor is very noisy, even when the speed selector is on off. Not really a problem when music is playing at a decent volume, but I would like to reduce the noise of the motor (and it is definitely the motor - I have run it with the platter off and the idler wheel not touching it.
2) I would also like to install a cartridge that has a "flippable" stylus (78/lp). Based on the photograph I have provided, would anyone know of such a cartridge?
Please forgive the low-hi detour. I love my better audio equipment, but I have a soft spot in my heart for units like this too!
thanks,
Michael
