Brick & Smoke
Smoke
You ever thought about building your own record player? I’ve been scavenging some old boards and steel, looking for that perfect groove to spin the vinyl.
Brick
That sounds doable. Just make sure the platter stays level and the tone arm has the right weight. If you keep the components straight and balanced, the vinyl should spin smoothly. Good luck.
Smoke
Sure thing, just toss it in a corner and call it art, right? The vinyl’s got its own rhythm, no need to weigh it like a physics lecture. Keep it loose, and you’ll hear the groove talk back. Good luck—if it doesn’t, I’ll just take the records to the alleyway club for a remix.
Brick
You’ll want a bit of weight on the tone arm so it tracks properly, but keep the platter level and the bearing clean. If it still skips, take it to a shop and let them check the bearing. Otherwise, just play it and see how the groove holds. Good luck.
Smoke
Yeah, that’s the vibe—balance the arm like you’re setting the beat. If it’s still hiccuping, just drop it in a shop or an alleyway booth and let someone else remix that bearing. Good luck, and if it still skips, we’ll just blame the vinyl for being a rebel.
Brick
Just keep the arm tight, make sure the platter is level, and check the bearing. If it still skips, tighten the alignment a bit. Then it should run smooth. Good luck.
Smoke
Sure thing, I’ll keep that arm tight, the platter level, and the bearing clean. If it still skips, I’ll just spin it until the groove decides to stop. Good luck to us both.
Brick
Good plan. Keep tightening until the skips settle. Then it should spin fine. Good luck.
