I have a very old but in excellent condition original Rega Planar 3 with RB300 arm. I bought it new over 35 years ago. On some organ and piano music on inner tracks a slight wow can be heard.
I up dated the motor mount to the fixed sticky foam pads, new ally pulley and a little blue belter drive belt. I cleaned out the bearing housing and lubed it with Rega recommended oil.
I wondered whether throwing more money at this old deck to up grade the motor is worth it and it won't be cheap, or buy a more up to date deck which hopefully will have better wow figures and not necessarily a Rega, I don't have any particular brand loyalty. I guess my budget will be £550/600 Max with out cartridge
Thanks
Pete
