Yamaha GT 1000

Playing the double 45 Rumors from 2009. Really nice records. This thing weighs so much... you don't want to work on it. But you need to. I think they wanted 580.00 for it with no weights or feet or well everything. So I complained that I'll never find the parts and got it for 515.00 shipped from Japan. I found feet for 75.00 shipped. Had the weights from a junk arm. Made the button covers at work. They are not exact but I wasn't tearing apart my 750 for exact measurements. I charged myself 100 for 3 sets of those button covers. Machined bead blasted aluminum. I'm still trying to get all the tape residue off it. I was going to refinish it but no. It's like playing with a 50lb bag of concrete.
