What do they do and what’s the cost please Drew?

Hi Ali...It's £450 for a full refurb, shot blast and repaint in your colour of choice. Here's an example of what's included, taken from the Classic Turntable website:
All paintwork removed repainted in acid etched primer for long lasting adhesion. Two coats of top coat hammertone the top coats of deep lacquer. We prefer this for a long lasting finish.
- All linkage removed – dangerous cadmium plating acid removed. Then re-plated in gold zinc
- New nuts bolts and washers.
- Motor full strip and new oil felts fitted . new bearings if required
- new springs throughout
- New suppressor
- Spindle strip with new bushes.
- New face plates if requested.
- Re-conditioned idler wheel and new idler bushes
- Polished eddy brake.
- New mat
Great work but don't be in a hurry for completion ;-)

Thanks, have a NOS 401 tucked away that will need fettling.
