    And then we finally place it upright, fit platter, counterweight, headshell and speed indicator, and fire her up!



    Spot on, on both speeds.

    So there we go - drop the lid on top and we're done and looking pretty smart.



    The only task left is drilling and fitting the hinges. I have the parts that attach to the deck, but not the bits that screw to the lid. Fortunately a bit of detective work has led me to a possible alternative and there is a set on eBay currently, so I'm going to grab them - no drilling until they arrive and a trial fitment has been completed, though.

    In which case, tomorrow's job looks like fitting a cartridge and seeing what the old girl sounds like!
