My receiver just final shit the bed. It has dust in the dials preventing a good signal, and creates this awful scratchy sound when turned. I got to get a new one.
I tried a while ago to shoot compressed air into it, but it didn't really help. I may try again. It is an old Toshiba SA-300. I got it in a Salvation Army for like $20 years ago.
What are other vinyl friends using for their turntables?
