Scott,
I think you need to send it to me for an exorcism. Should be cured in 4-6 years.

What a generous offer, Evan! In a way, that's sort of how I came by the SP10 in the first place. A buddy had married and had either sold or stored his gear. His SP10 was sitting in a closet and he loaned it to me for around 4 years... until he got rid of the wife, at which time he set up another system. I searched around a bought another one.
I had hoped that this thread would lead to a list of dependable tech guys that we could sticky for our vinyl addicts. Apparently, the list starts and stops with Bill Thalmann.
