Did you align the Cartridge properly? Proper tracking force utilized? Is the table level? While it does take more effort to properly set up a turntable, the end results are worth it. No "rack" system that I am aware of from the 70s should be used to determine what's really in those record grooves. I'm willing to bet your needle is beyond worn as well.
Ha, ha, turntable has tracking force, and cushioned adjustable feet. It was ahead of it's time in 76. Realistic amp, turntable and two floor speakers (that have been refurbished in 2010) ran me over $600.00 back then! I paid my Dad back off paper route money in installments. My needle has been replaced several times and it is on a level surface (one time broken by a curious toddler son).








Fellas, Let's get back to the topic at hand, Camaro audio systems, XM
