Another hiatus absolved, with even more rare, eccentric equipment. Enter the Yamaha YP-D10.







A couple things:
1: Anti-Skate (bias) linkage is broken. It's a common problem on these things, and it should be simple to fix (but time consuming to make the linkage, my hands don't like working with things that small).
2: Cartridge is a pile of garbage. Expected though. At one point, the Audio Technica TM7 that came on it was new, but now it's not, and I'm pretty sure it's circa late 80's, early 90's. Not to mention the stylus is bent, so.... enter the JVC's headshell until I change the cart.
3: It's heavy. It's a good thing, but it's not fun to move around.

Other than that, it seems to work perfectly. Even came with a 45 adapter, but I don't think it's the original. Still, even I don't know a whole lot about this table yet. But this weekend will give me a better chance to dig around.

Very nice looking deck, I'm sure you will get it back to its operating condition.
