i was considering a Projeckt Carbon, but fell in love with the Pioneer pl-518 so after a couple of weeks looking for one i was able to win one on ebay for a reasonable price. came with a ADC headshell, and realistic/shure cartridge
yesterday my pl-518 arrived in the mail...
it was in a sad shape, has not been used in god knows how long...
the vinyl was peeling all the way around, and the metal base and cover were starting to rust..
upon further disassemble it looked like its never been cracked open!..
here's the headshell and shure r25 edt cartridge... looks like the needle has a nasty kink in it, but i am planing to replace both in the future (suggestions welcome)
after separating the mechanics and the base i started to peel the vinyl...
no pics of it in action but used a head dryer to heat the glue up and make the job much easier..
so that was all i got to do yesterday....
