Looks like a worthwhile project - good luck with it!
As to the arm lift, that was one of the (many!) things that was broken on mine. It needed a bit of careful gluing and a very small screw to make it work again. It easiest to get at if you remove the arm from the deck and flip it over.

Most of the Exotic Veneered Models in the GT 2000 range are the 'L' or 'X' models.
Whether these are seen to be improved Electric or Mechanics as well, I am unsure.
The GT 2000 does have a off board power supply option, again finding out how this effects the performance is not a easy find.

The GT-2000 and GT-2000L are the same technically - the only difference is the ‘L’ has a wood veneered plinth (which, IMHO, doesn’t look as nice!) and has the YAL-1 autolifter fitted to the arm as standard.
The GT-2000X is a different kettle of fish. It has a different motor with a much larger main bearing and the plinth is thicker, heavier and has a lovely gloss finish. It also came as standard with the YSA-1 straight arm as standard, which was an upgrade option on the 2000 and 2000L.
The YOP-1 external power supply can be fitted to any model.

got*a message from the service shop. The GT-2000 is now disassembled and the electronics look good*and not damaged. The underside of the plinth is a little bit rough*but when i look on pictures online they all have that. The plinth is on the way to the veneer shop for the reveneer job that will take*around 3 weeks because the lacqueer will have to dry everytime it is lacquered and that takes a lot of time. In the meantime the service shop is going to look to the armlift to fix it.
What i can not see is if the bottom*part is also veneered or only painted is there*anyone with a GT2000x that can check that?
The external piwersupplly is on my list of uograde items

If there is a aftermarket part to die for, it has to be the YGT-1.
A machined Gun Metal Platter.
The price of such a luxury is decent car territory.

I must confess, although it is truly a lovely thing to behold, I’m not really quite sure what the point of the gunmetal platter is, other than to make to motor work harder!
