The 78 playing at the end with your theme tune was a touch of genius😊

I made the mistake of playing a drinking game where I drank every time Mark said “circlip”. It didn’t end well.

BSR must have had big shareholdings in a circlip business - lol. Another great video! Thanks Mark.

The first stereo record I ever heard was Dark Side of the Moon on this ITT player. A friend had brought the player and the records around. I remember lying on the floor with the speakers on either side of my head. I heard the cash registers of Money, and the chiming clocks of Time, and I was hooked. Great days.

Youre all round knowledge from mechanical, electronic and vintage stuff is staggering, not to mention how you can re-engineer broken parts, a real gem.

Remembering how it all goes back together is a skill.

I imagine 30 years from now, whatever the 2050s equivalent of YouTube will have a video by an electronics professional scraping Mark's grease off this same turntable.

In '69 or '70 a school friend lent me The Band's LP "The Band" it was the first stereo record I'd ever had my hands on but the family didn't have a stereo record player. I said to my dad that it was a shame I couldn't hear it in stereo and he went out and bought this record player just so I could get the full stereo experience. He didn't have a lot of cash so he couldn't get one of the swanky systems but I listened to a lot of records on that player in the following years. Thanks Dad!

I'm always in awe of these mechanisms. They may not be quality but they are so ingenious
