  Can I assume your TT is properly Shun Mooked?

    If you mean whether I am using the Shun Mook clamp, the answer is no.

  How long have you owned it? Does it need regular service? Have you had trouble getting parts?

    I have had it for almost three years. It does not any service, unless it breaks down. It does not even need any lubrication, ever. Mine was manufactured in 1982. I have not had any problems with it. I did have to replace the centering stylus after I bought it. Parts are not available, generally. As far as I know, Jeff Galin of US Service Labs still stocks a few and he does work on Dragon CT's but he does not guarantee that he would be able to repair them. I heard that he could even make some circuit boards and/or microprocessors. Assume that anything that goes wrong has to be custom remade/remanufactured, and it would not be cheap.

          Jeff rebuilt my Yamaha K-1020. Restored it to better than new condition. He gets my highest recommendation!
