Previous owner puck some sick paint on it and cut the arm hole to fit an SME. I think I can over come that cut by cutting the hole out a bit and adding another tonearm board.There is still the part that hold the record brush arm left on the plate but I thought to leave it in case I find a replacement.
First i will strip that paint off.
We had a look and the old guy replace the belt, cleaned out the under platter, and oiled it. We turn it on and it is quiet, comes up to speed slower thatn the NAD533, and looks like it holds steady at 33.3 but i really need a good 60hrtz lamp to check. The spindle looks straigth and true. Nice little pop when you remove the platter from the bearing well. The platter has an inverted bearing but I didn't take a picture of that.
I don't know if i need to strengthen the underside where the arm is mounted but it looks like it needs some work.
Any suggestions are eagerly welcomed.
