Hiya Monty! I remember a company called 'Pimp My Decks' which I believe was run by an OSA member. I'm not sure I was based in Blackpool though although I could be mistaken. I just did a little search and it appears that they do repairs/servicing as well as customisation so. On a side note, could you possibly send me a link to the two that prank cold call video you did, as I really want to show my girlfriend it but can't find it on YouTube. Cheers mate. Ed

Hi Ed hope your doing well mate,

I have resolved my issue i replaced one of my tonearms just finished doing it now was tricky to do the wires from the tonearm are so thin & needed careful soldering i also fitted gold plated RCA cables i just had to cross my fingers when turning my deck on & hope it all worked & it did i am chuffed with myself i can know fit Technics tonearms & gold plated RCA cables saving money.

I am now going to take the ball bearing out of the pitch & cut the orange wire to the pitch so i can mix around the zero point but i will have to desolder the pitch to get to the ball bearing then i will have to do everything all over again on my other deck but will have to wait until the tonearm arrives.

I think it is Pimp My Decks i was asking about i thought it was located in Blackpool or he is called Sam i can't remember now thanks for letting me know Ed i panicked last night my deck was all open in my kitchen & looked at it & thought what have i done was not a good idea doing it when drinking a few Stellas haha

No worries Ed :) I know people are busy with life etc I talk a lot but I like to let people know what I do so they then can ask me any questions if they need any kind of help with anything! :)

We wouldn't have you any other way fella. You're right, it might encourage people to have a go themselves. I have on occasion toyed with the idea of upgrading the RCAs to gold plated and I made the slightly over the top move of upgrading to MK5s just to get rid of the pitch dip ha ha. Take it easy fella.
