    I have never considered buying another to replace mine. It is a flawlessly engineered device that would cost many thousands if made today.
    In answer to an earlier question, it is a 'lubed for life' bearing.

    Similarly, mine was covered in nicotine stains when I got it. It had been stored for a long time since the untimely demise of its previous owner. I am so pleased I purchased it and then invested the time to clean and restore.

    Try as I might, the oil rilled mat has remained a conundrum and is a rare thing. The decades of centrifugalism have shifted the oil to the perimeter of the mat. No amount of gentle rolling, pressing or warm baths will shift it.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    well ive opened her up
    traced the 2 wires to the bulb back to a push on block connector,ive disconnected it and tested continuity to the working one which is fine and to the non working 33rpm bulb,i dont get continuity here so everything points to a blown bulb,phew!
    according to the diagram its a 6v 35ma bulb,it measures 12mm x4mm is that commonly known as a grain of wheat bulb?

    With a lot of help from Charlie, I managed to get the deck set up today. More pics and info in my gallery thread.
