    Another great video mate👏🙂 Can you explain please how you setup the millivoltmeter and how exactly you using it to tune up the decks. I bought one but I'm struggling to set it up correctly and read it 🤦

    Do you have to disassemble all the way that transport to change the belts and idle tire? I'm about to buy an LX-3.

      Yes, you will have to, idler tire is between two aluminum plates. Check my other videos - I did same disassembly multiple times.

      Use film caps from Kemet, Wima or Nichicon.
