With all this New Technology...

It would be neat to utilize our webcams to help others. Maybe even record a demonstration on some of the mechanical stuff (replacing a cartridge and needle, showing how to flip those levers up to lift a turntable from a unit, removing that C-clamp to see the idler wheels, adjusting height, set-down adjustments, removing that vertically-mounted receiver, etc.
I think it would be nice to have a "VIDEO" section here on the board. Folks could upload their clips to share. They may have to be screened by the Administrator for their content and length. I don't know how much space this board can accommodate, but it's just an idea. They don't have to be long, drawn-out presentations, just short and sweet. Alot of you folks can remove a cartridge in less than one minute...it may help a novice prevent unnecessary damage.
I realize that the Techs need to earn a living, but I don't think the main purpose of THIS Board is about money and professionals preying on those of us not knowledgeable on these units. Sure, you can post your wanted/for sale adds here (one man's trash), but I think the main purpose here is how many of we "common folk" want to learn, possibly simple repairs, to keep our units operating by having a little help from our internet friends.
No soap box here, just expressing my concerns. --BB
