Hi Chaps,​

I messed up my analog system, 401/SME 3009/Denon DL-103R, when I installed my rebuilt tonearm and adjusted the 60Hz pulley, it needs proper set-up.​

I have rebuilt record decks and tonearms for myself since 1964 but I no longer have the finger dexterity to do it properly.​

Local, Miami area, hi-end dealers cannot compete with the work of Chris Thornton or Chris Harban. I doubt they will accept my request. Peter McGrath, my favorite dealer, sold Sound Components and left the area a long time ago.​

I need to find a specialist who will set it up and ship the deck back to me fully set-up, I am aware that it would not be advisable to do that but I have no other choice.​

The box to the right, in the photo, is a Keystrobe-pulser + Optibloc 401 for 50Hz platter.​

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.​

Cheers,​

Horacio​
