Thanks to a very kind person who has taken a liking to my hobby and helped me get a AIR-lineage EMT 938 turntable.
When I got the TT (this was few months back), it was in bad shape from looks as well as functionality. The tonearm has gone completely awry, the motorized lift mechanism was not working and there was no headshell or the cartridge.
The platter, motor and electronics were in great shape and very little usage signs. This was a good case for me to completely overhaul which I went about doing. The other good thing about this TT is that the headshell mount is not the standard EMT headshell (diamond shape contact layout) mount but the standard SME mount.
After all the TLC, new Sumiko headshell, DL-103 and a new EMT Phono pre-preamplifier (MC step up) the unit is working fabulously. Here are the pictures. The dustcover is kind courtesy Mr. Kuruvila and carried by GeorgeO to Bangalore. THanks a ton to you guys.
Cheers.
