Looking forward to following the progress Andrew!
Thanks Loz, these are great TT's to work on, quite simplistic, but excellent engineering. This resto will hopefully turn out to be something special for the client who commissioned it.
Excellent Andrew. Based on past projects I know this will be a very special build :)
Very interesting, i'm at the start of another TD160 restoration myself, perhaps we could swap notes so to speak.
Looking forward to the progress and maybe some tips :) as I have the same which I am soon to start.
I bought a new plate, one of those laser cut ones, the one I have was disfigured by the previous guardian. I have a new power board from vinyl passion and reclaimed oak for the plinth. It will be my first attempt at a refurb.
The only thing I am not sure of is how to polish up the platter or if I could get it plated somehow, I would be interested to know if you will be doing something with yours. Mine is just looking a bit dull and I want it to sparkle when its finished.
My lid is ok, but I bought a headlight polishing kit to get the best out of it.
For the platter T Cut or Duraglit or any metal polish to be honest will work, it's a messy job though and when you're done polishing give the cleaned metal a polish with a good quality silicone car polish it will help to keep it shiny for longer.
