Sure is. Quite gorgeous!

Hi All. Just picked up a rather pretty black Avant 28 VHS, not a RF, but then for £150 with a fully ok Beo4 I am certainly not grumbling! It has the module for surround installed, and the STB controller. Questions then: PiP.. doesn't seem to do anything when i follow the PiP instructions in the manual. I'm guessing the module isn't

Yes, hope you're feeling better soon Martin - we're all itching for the next installment ;)

That's the kind of luck I could do with... not the sort I'm having lately :( As a friend of mine said: 'If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all..." That said, the Beomaster 900K is now finished (thanks Frede!) and the silver Beogram 1000 that arrived today has really good speed (the adjustment works fine)

Why didn't *I* think of the 6000? ;) I'd have loved a 4000, but out of my budget at the moment.... :(

Aesthetically it has to be the 4000 series turntables. No remote is no big deal, and hiding an RIAA is no problem either. I liked the aesthetic match so much I chose a 4002 over the 8002.... Just my 10 rubles worth.... ;)

As everyone else says, thanks for sharing this. It is fascinating, and of course I want one too! :)

A worthy cause indeed - best of luck with it.

Friedmett: Cdx is now playing Ben Harper Will to live Talking of Ben Harper, I'm listening to the fabulous 'Continuum" by the even more fabulous John Mayer. Apart from being a darn good singer/songwriter, his guitar playing blows me away - his phrasing is SO Clapton I thought it was him!

Hello and welcome to the site. I hope you'll stick around. I can only agree with Graham and Martin and say that the belt should certainly be the first thing to try before adjusting the speed controls. Replacing the belt will most likely bring it back up to speed ok. It is quite possible that a worn belt could cause some noises too. Hope this helps
