The owner of the record player came to collect it today.
As always there is alway a last minute dash to make sure everything is right. There were a few issues mainly due to the person who gutted it in the first place, I would have liked it to be a bit more refined, but I tried to make the pieces that I worked on be as good as I could.
The pre paint preparation from its previous owner had left the veneer very thin in places, so I was limited in how I was able to refinish it, the the customer was over the moon with it.
It was still humid, but I did what I could before the pool called to me. It was a relief for a brief period, watching the birds and insects going about their business.
Once we were out and drying, a lady from up the road knocked on the door with a gluten free banana bread, this was out of the blue, and put my faith back into people, I can’t wait to try it with my tea.
The grass in the back garden has suffered badly from the dogs piss. I bought some gummies that is supposed to reduce the richness of the nitrogen that kills the grass, it’s called “Dog rocks” I hope it works.
My daily correspondence with my friend Dave on the cassette deck continues with the conclusion that the power works for the pre amp, I need to find another 12 volt supply to drive the motor.
Now that’s another challenge.
