Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

I have just acquired a 32 year old JVC/Victor TT-101 DD turntable after having its lesser brother, the TT-81 for the last year.
TT-101
This is one of the great DD designs made at a time when the giant Japanese electronics companies like Technics, Denon, JVC/Victor and Pioneer could pour millions of dollars into 'flagship' models to 'enhance' their lower range models which often sold in the millions.
Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.

Lewm, exactly like Monty! :-))). Can I write directly to JP Jones at Fidelis?

JP hangs out here once in a while. Or else I think I have his email address. Or failing even that, he may have a website under Fidelis Analog.  He's a very straightforward guy, so go for it.

Found it: JP@fidelisanalog.com

PS.  No need to do the Jonathan Cleese imitation. But do bring the parrot with you.

Lewm, 
The gentleman you are referring to from Monty Python is John Cleese, no such person as Jonathan Cleese with respect to Monty Python. 
Cheers

I had a moment of doubt myself. Google seemed to indicate "Jonathan", but my instinct told me "John".  I obviously chose Google over instinct.  Today Google agrees with you and my instinct as well.  I don't know what I was looking at yesterday.  Does any of this matter?
