Hi Gav, how do you tell when the squash balls need renewed? Sorry if that's a daft questionMy Amadeus GTA is still on the original belt. The squash balls need changing when the rubber hardens - Wilson red dot (bouncy)
The rubber hardens and sticks to the surface so it stops providing much/any suspension. I don't notice on the wall shelf but on a stand you maybe would. Nobody seems to sell 4 packs! It seems they come in threes and 12s!Hi Gav, how do you tell when the squash balls need renewed? Sorry if that's a daft question
It's a bit of a piece of string question but given that they cost next to nothing and it's not complicated, you could start the bid with 5 years. That's when tyre manufacturers reckon that car tyres are starting to be past their best. Or you can give them a poke. If they are dry and old looking, replace them.Hi Gav, how do you tell when the squash balls need renewed? Sorry if that's a daft question
I'm not sure that that make them any longer? I just had a look this morning for some (don't buy old stock) - but red dot, yes.
They have all that minus the lid except but the simplex doesn't pass the solid build test in my view nor does it have the arm lift. It's trivial to order a perspex cover.

No, I want a proper, hinged lid. Too easy to drop a lift off cover and damage something and it's a faff I don't want. To me it's not about sacrificing all for the sake of performance. It's a record player., a means to an end and easy usability is part of that.
I generally agree but there is a limit. I love the way Rega design their turntables, that focus on performance above all else, but in practice I found the RP10 too delicate and fragile. For me there is a balance which solidity and usability need to be a part of.
