Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??

Elliott, I was looking at my TT101 with your quest in mind. As you know, the two platters present the same problem for fitting a perimeter ring. There is very little margin for error. In fact I can think of no “off the shelf” ring that would fit. Certainly my Kenwood ring is not even close. So, if you do invite someone to bring his ring to fit your TT81, I’d advise you to be sure in advance that his ring has a hope of fitting.

you are right, and I am having a hard time believing Wayne that one of his will work on my TT81.

lewm,

I am going slowly thru halcro's old thread about JVC TT101. from 2011.

JP Jones, ought to be John Paul Jones, i.e. DEEP SIX the Beasts!

Six Leagues Under the Sea is where they belong.

What a masochistic club, you only need merge with Jaguar V12 owners to be completely happy.

There must be a survivor mentality, however short lived.

I don’t understand.

First, JP never suggested dumping Victor DD turntables. Second, in my experience the TT101 has been 100% reliable since JP repaired it. Or do you advocate dumping them because you may not be able to fit a ring?

lewm,

you just don’t get my sense of humor. JP Jones name was the inspiration.

I am suggesting EVERY TT101, and EVERY Jag V12 powered XJS, ever made, be Deep Sixed!!!!

A monstrous sigh of relief.

I believe, after many years od that discussion it was Halcro who wrote:

An alternative would be to buy a TT-81 for $400 on HiFiDo and live happily ever after 😁👍
