It's all in the reflexes
Got a haircut fortunately not raining on the way there, light rain e-biking home.

So when I got my Dual turntable last May, I replaced the belt, but sometimes the right channel would go out, and eventually the motor started squeaking horribly, so I had the cables replaced and the motor serviced by a quirky local guy...no storefront, he comes down and grabs it, repairs it, and lets you know when to get it. Worked great but suddenly the left channel won't turn on sometimes but resetting the tone arm and trying again it works...last night it was working but the left channel was definitely quieter than the right.
So....dropped it back off to Novak's Turntable repair, hopefully the total cost + last time will still be way less than a modern new table (the 80s ones were much better on average than the entry level ones today). I use it often so I'd like one that "just works" the first time.
