Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc

Thanks, Raul. I knew you had experience with those things.

@rauliruegas

well Rauliruegas I have read everything and you have been very clear, no added translations are needed.
I was confident as I read all of the threads here on audiogon and you always intervened by reading that you owned it.
I have to check if there is a nylon thread on the rubber outside the plate because I didn’t notice ... I’ll check.
The AT666 that was given to me in test has the manual pump and the electric pump so it is not necessary to look for extra pumps; and really like new or NOS in short.
If there was no thread I have to invent something to replace it; you who can see and touch the item with your hand would a nylon line for fishing rod be fine or is it better a rubber band?
Can you tell me approximately the thickness of your original thread?
Thank you very very much.


@jperry yeah N.P.

Dear @best-groove : You can use that nylon line for fishing rod or aguitar chord and it has to hold around the rubber with some kind of thigthness. What is difficult is to make the knot in the nylon new thread for it be/stay tight against the rubber but not so tight that the nylon that tear/rip the rubber. if it’s a little loose then the vacuum hold down the LP for short time only. So not an easy task.

You need to check too that the 666 valve is running ok with no loose and that stay at the rigth position when closed to mantain the vacuum hold down.

@rauliruegas very well, only the original nylon thread was missing, I solved it with a round elastic for men’s socks; now the vacuum holds exceptionally for over 25 minutes.
I am very happy, I really think I’ll buy it.

Good  !
