Yes will do. All these thoughts are a long way off for me anyway . My deck is brand new and I have two bearings to see me through now but it’s just nice to speak to the men on the ground that have had experiences with such things to see if there is a general consensus . Cheers Andrew . I look forward to any more updates and thanks for the replies

Another superb project completed Andy. I had a good read from start to finish this morning and I can see you have done a very thorough job again!
Well done and I am sure this deck will give you years of great analogue listening pleasure!
Could I ask how it compares to your Lenco GL75 and in terms of a restoration project was it easier to do?

Superb job Andrew and an excellent, informative and very generous thread. It has inspired me to get a 401 out of the loft and have a go at it myself. I bought it from a junk shop in the early 80's on a piece of plywood with a Neat tonearm. It hasn't been spun since apart from a half hearted attempt a few years ago to oil it in the right places more for preservation that anything else. It spins now though... after all those years!
When I can work out how to post pictures I'll start a thread. Thank you!

Hmmm... it looks from here that it doesn't. I'll keep trying!!
Sorry Andrew for trashing your most excellent thread. I'll experiment on my own thread!
