Restoring a Roksan Xerxes (original)... Wow!

You could, in my experience, have achieved the same result and still kept the motor on the top plinth but it would have meant some considerable surgery to the deck and reinvention of the motor mount.

Mark,
how do you imagine the mounting of the motor on the top plinth -with the extensive surgery-, in order to get similar results (or even better?) results than mounting the motor on the bottom plinth? Can you perhaps share a drawing or a photo, in case you have done in reality something like that?
Thanks

I'm sorry, I'm in danger of transcribing into your situation too much of my own thoughts and position regarding turntable design. Congratulations on achieving a great improvement and enjoy your records - that's what it's all about .
