light source for tt setup

I use a small (one AA battery) LED flashlight, which lies on the platter pointing any direction I choose.

Costs virtually nothing, available virtually everywhere.

A headlamp wouldn't work for me, since I often want the light shining through the stylus toward me. My Magic Eraser wedge makes a handy light diffuser to avoid being blinded by the LEDs.

Simple, cheap, flexible. I can put $50 toward hiring some kid to wash some of these LPs! ;-)

How many LPs do I have to clean to claim the $50? :-)

That depends on what you call clean! ;-)

I finally found a place that has the light I have been using when I cue my turntable at night when the lights are low. Search for Miles Kimball online, item# 317231. Uses 3 AAA batteries with LED's. I'm not familiar with mark up tags, otherwise I would have posted the link.

TOUCHE! I'm back to 25 min per side now Doug, thanks to you. :-)
