BIC 960 Turntable

I have always felt for a modest inexpensive turntable that the BIC's where underrated. I say this as I own a Linn Sondek as well as other turntables like Pioneers and Technics. Several years ago I attempted to refurbish the BIC with new grease etc, and it worked perfectly for two years. Now it began having issues with it's auto-return. After some frustration in attempting to fix this I just started to gut out the entire auto-return system. As it turns out there was a lot of hidden areas of hardened grease I never got to originally. Since the unit is probably 40 years old I decided to make this a completely manual table and left out all the auto-return parts(but saving them if I change my mind.) Now it's like my Linn(almost.) I reckon its got a few more years left now and that the KISS principle will prolong it's life.
