A perfect fit.

Right. Main bearing all back together and lubed. I found a thin synthetic rubber washer just the right size to seal it. Mole grip marks ground off, so it looks as it should again. Up and running, with speeds steady after a couple of minutes to settle. It hadn't been run for about twenty years. Wiil get around to checking the motor over properly later.

Next main job. Arm fitting!
well done that man
I have a feeling this is going to be a nice sounding TT, it's quite hefty. A sort of belt drive 401 :). I'll add some bracing and damping to the base and might put some decent vents in the bottom cover, so the air inside does not form a resonant 'box'. I won't leave it off, as there are mains voltages in there.
would be inclined to give wood a good stripping....and redo, perhaps altering colour slightly.:) maybe a ebony armboard too
Yes. I will refurbish the wood. I like the existing Walnut, so that'll be staying.
Already got an armboard made up, going to do that charcoal semi-metallic to match the existing paint on the TT. Already have the paint.
Next will be mounting the board before marking out for arm position.
Looks okay so far. Looks like it could be a decent deck.
I hope so. Very few of these about. Even fewer modded ones. They are very rare.Quote:
