Hi, I have been a member of the WAM for several years now and thought I'd join in here since I now have an LP12.

I bought an incomplete 70s LP12 as a project about 2 years ago, it has the black springs mod and that is about it, it had no tonearm and a butchered arm board.
over time I have managed to purchase a blank arm board (I wasn't sure what arm yet), a refurbished Valhalla and finally a couple of Hadcock GH228 arms.
I have a Shure V15 type III to fit.

Well it is all in one piece with a spare arm, I do have a slight hum problem but there is a Linn trained tech within 30 mins drive from home.

I always wanted to try an LP12 since the 80s when I bought my Rock II.

Cheers

I don't have the Excalibur or Merlin, I do have the trough and optional plinth.
You don't have to be Merlin to fettle an LP12,but it sure helps!
I take my deck in to the pros for a service,my local dealer employs Johnny of Audio Origami fame 2 days a week.
They've just fitted a Karousel bearing and a new Lingo 4 and the old girl is on song again!.

I know j7, visited him in 2016, back in 1986 I bought my Rock from him when he worked in an Audio shop in Glasgow.
He fitted my Dynavector XX2 MK2 to my Ekos2 and serviced the old girl....what a beaut of a cart after two Dv17d2's....
The other chap(David) who helps out @ Loud n Clear in Glasgow recently fitted a Karousel and Lingo 4...both worthwhile upgrades.
