Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

On the topic of chips a fellow is doing some interesting work
on the SP10MKIII's and reworking some no longer available and susceptible to failure parts.

Great to have someone spend that much time and effort for
the relatively small numbers of tables it is applicable to.

That's great news Totem.

The story of Thuchan's 'chip' is quite complex.....
After about 6 weeks of his Bavarian Tech taking apart the Victor, Thuchan Emailed me that it needed a 'chip' which his Tech had ordered from China but which didn't arrive.
He gave me the chip No. which I promptly Googled

to discover that this seemed to be available everywhere.....even in Germany. So I sent this information....
6 weeks later Thuchan says his Tech can't get the 'chip' and again I do another Google search with different results for this 'chip' available all over the world.
6 weeks later....can't get 'chip'.....can I help..🙏🏽
At this stage I had no idea what No. 'chip' Lew had stashed 2 years ago....but as I could do no more, I told Thuchan to contact Lew on the off-chance...👀❓
And as fate would have it......Lew's 'chip' was the 'magic' one...
A story with a happy ending...🎼🎉

Wow rwwear......sounds like an amazing Victor..😍
Can't wait to hear what you think when you have it?
