@cOAlitionS_OA Acquiescing would be a grave error for the global #scholcomm initiative. It would have the potential to unleash an existential crisis upon the #OpenAccess movement. By setting the precedent, the oligpoly would seize upon the #ADC concept -- every publisher will start introducing them, and #GreenOA — the free, low barrier way of sharing research — will be extinguished. The corporate behaviour of the #oligopoly is quite predictable.

I live in hope... #OpenResearch #OpenScience

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - Time to Use It

Now that it's properly functional, I'll swap out my current turntable and give it a bit of a run. Already I've got some minor things that need attention:

- Unusual rubbing sound from the drive mechanism as the tonearm approaches the end of the record.
- Find a dust cover.
- Find or fabricate additional headshells for the other moving-magnet cartridges I have.

But first, I have other projects on the bench. Speaker surround foam replacement is next.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Speed Controls

It's all about the speed – Quartz Lock Button and Speed Adjustment

On the left side, we've got this cluster of controls and indicators.

So, you select the record speed when you power on the unit (previous post), but here we can lock it in or tweak it. Interesting feature, but not sure what need it’s fulfilling. Based on a quick test, it looks like you can tweak the speed +/- 10%.

ADC 1700DD Turntable Restoration - The Headshell

The headshell - well, this was not the one that was originally paired with the unit when it shipped. What should have been there was this tiny-little LMH-1. I discovered the difference when I was trying to set up the cartridge with an alignment template. No way to make it align properly so that told me that something was fishy with the geometry.

And apparently this design is kinda famous in that it introduced the industry to the low-mass tonearm concept.

@emsquared It was fantastic, had so much fun. Can't wait to share my presentation with the world, just waiting on the #ADC team to upload them all. No idea when they'll do it though hahah

@darnell

As far as I know, the only Arab group that has done anything else is the ADC, which is apparently run by a guy who praises Hitler.

It's not complicated: Mainstream Arab-Americans are Democrats and have been since George W.
