That’s a shame Grroosss, hope you get it sorted. I’m not the most technical person I replaced my deck about a year ago but it was an easy switch my system has a built in amp, and I just upgraded my speakers as well.Got to give you credit for the work you carried out, anything I dismantle never seems to fit together again.... Good choice by Timeblue for the first play. My first ELO purchase, Telephone Line.

It would be an excellent choice
Unfortunately if I want the first play to be sometime in the immediate future, I'll have to pick something that's in mono... I had the speaker wires ready to go this evening only to discover that 1) I had a cold solder joint and even after fixing that, 2) there's something wrong with the connection on my receiver's right channel, it crackles horrendously... I pulled the unit apart to have a peek but my limited knowledge of circuits didn't spot anything obviously amiss, so I'll probably have to take it to a professional somewhere to get it repaired. Easy to say in hindsight but did you get to hear the set up before you bought it? The receiver sounds at fault here and may be expensive to fix...
I got to hear the turntable hooked up to the seller's stereo, but not the other components as they were essentially an afterthought...
"Do you have an analog receiver to hook this up to?" "Welllll... I'm working on that....." *seller walks me over to a towering stack of receivers in the corner of the garage* "I'm selling all of these, too, tell you what..."
After forking over a bit more cash I take the receiver and go to load it into my car, before I even get back to the garage he's pulling a set of speakers down from a shelf and handing them off to the friend I'd brought along with me...
Luckily I have an internet friend very knowledgeable about audio equipment who I was able to consult with today, who suggested the problem might just be a dirty potentiometer... if you've noticed my latest status you might realize that it looks like he was right! I didn't even have proper contact cleaner (the can I recently bought for my guitar pots is at my parents' house), just a few spritzes of rubbing alcohol. I'll do some more extensive listening and testing tomorrow but so far, so good...

I always thought that the 10" AOTW looked odd (nice colour though)

Nice finds Horace have you the pink vinyl Xanadu to match AOTW.

I haven’t got the pink 10” Xanadu there’s one in Discogs for £20 at the moment I was considering, maybe one evening when I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine I’ll click the buy button.

BSJ's inner vlogdance when sober - "It's absurd, I WON'T pay it!" The real BSJ after a few cheaps - "Oh, HELLLLL YESSSS! Out of me way! It's mine!!!!

I thought this pretty cool, so with fingers crossed I bid on it. Love Damey's expression, and emphasizing the string section that made the band unique. A nice concise bio and how they don't want you to forget about Woody in their choice of music they want you to check-out. It's about 10.5" x 8.5". I don't remember these. Does anyone?
