New Old Stock
1 of 1 found this helpful Great when you can find them. This is a wear item as the rod rides on the cam without a bearing. Even the new one will have some play so that oil can get in between this alum. rod and the steel crankshaft. If the wear becomes too great, noise increases and the chances for a wrecked engine greatly increases.

LIttle SS phono pre-amp stage
4 of 4 found this helpful The Rolls VP29 phono stage is a great little gadget. Works very well with moving magnet (MM) type cartridges. It is not meant for the more expensive, and sensitive, moving coil (MC) type cartridges. For those of us that have pre-amps or receivers lacking a decent phono stage, this one is very good for not a lot of money. Don't get me wrong, it is not a top of the line by any means, but for around $50 it does the job, and does it well. It has a better phono stage than my Denon receiver. You can run RC audio cables directly from the Rolls to your PC sound card to rip your vinyl onto the hard drive or copy to CDs. There is also a headphone jack that allows you to audit the records without the turn table being hooked up to anything else. This has become a very handy feature for me. Too bad there is no volume adjustment on the headphone jack.
The Rolls has a well deserved reputation for causing 60Hz humm in your audio system. Folks have complained many times that the Rolls works just fine for a while, then the intermittent humm sets in and is almost impossible to get rid of no matter how much re-grounding is done between components of the sound system. Most of the time the cause is a breakdown of the little wall-wart 12V power supply that Rolls sells with the unit. Replace it with a cheap AC/DC 12-14v power supply. Just about anything you can find is going to be better than the one Rolls supplied. When mine started to cause very loud humming it was replace with another 12V wall-wart that completely stopped the irritating noise. Put a voltage tester on the old Rolls power supply and got a reading of 19.6 vDC!
Summary:
- Great value for the cost, even with getting another PS from Radio Shack, or on eBay.
- Very small footprint, can be placed just about anywhere.
- Handy headphone jack.
- Very easy to hook up to any sound card with audio in jacks.
- Lets you start spinning your old vinyl again with a minimum of hassle and $$.
