    Worked out the rocker switch mount for the 'three becomes one' switch required to work with my acrylic armboard. A bit of scrap ally on my milling machine.
    Proper enjoying myself here!!!

    Thanks for putting some great pictures up as they do tell your journey renovating this turntable very well.

    Looking forward to seeing the completed project

    Some more progress - butyl rubber deadening - 2 layers minimum, 3 in places.
    Remarkable how long this took, and I'm not 100% finished yet!!!

    That sound deadening material must have taken some time. I have had some good results with that type of material.

    You need to be VERY careful when using damping material it's very very easy to over damp and then you have a lifeless turntable. I've made this mistake before on some of my own turntable resto's.

    It's a pressed steel chassis, I figured adding a fair chunk of mass, and absorptive mass at that, wasn't a bad idea!

    Mass does not stop vibration. Something as massive as our sun vibrates, these guys (I think) know what they are talking about https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11840/ . The damping that you've applied may work extremely well, I sincerely hope it does. Your plinth may have more of a damping effect than the material you've applied to the underside of the top plate. Does your deck have mounting bolts? If so, then it might be an idea to experiment with mounting rings around the shaft of the bolt, just like in a garrard 301. TBH decoupling the motor from the top plate will probably have more of an effect than all the damping material, altough of course I can't deny/confirm this. I've found that damping key components is also really good at getting a decent sound out of these old TT's. I use Panzerholz is small amounts. I've stopped using Sorbothane as I've never been happy with it's sonic presentation. Bamboo is a nice cheap alternative and when used can give a nice sonic upgrade. Sorry if I'm waffling, some of my musings might help/hinder, you decide....
