Hi guys, I just joined the forum. Lots of great projects and info here.
I recently acquired an SL-1200 and have been wondering about a couple of areas that i don't think I've seen anyone talk about.
In some industry applications I've seen motor stator coils "potted" to minimize vibrations. A thermally conductive epoxy-type resin is used, similar to what is used in transformers. Since the coils are vibrating to a small degree, it would make sense that potting them would be beneficial in a direct-drive motor.
Anyone tried this?
Also, years ago one of the tweaks that was common in CD players was to put blue-tak on the crystal oscillator clock to reduce timing errors due to vibrations. Would this have any place inside a turntable?
Thanks!
