So, I was helping my uncle with a plumbing project in his garage. He was going through some cupboards looking for a tool when I spotted a turntable on a top shelf. Turns out it is a 70's Sansui FR-4060 automatic table. He said he bought it new when he was stationed in Japan in the mid 70's. He said it cost almost a months salary! I guess he couldn't part with it and had kept it for sentimental reasons.
I of course, couldn't wait to bring it back to life. Which brings me to my question. Is this thing worth putting a little money into to get running? I just got it home and started to look for some info on it. It appears to have a working motor. The belt has turned into a sticky gel substance so I can't do any speed tests. From what little info I have found it takes a standard 23.6" X 3/16" belt which I can pick up locally for 15$. Anyone know if this is the correct size?
I would love to get it running again, if only to have my uncle over and see the look on his face. It would be fun to have a second table at home.
Thoughts?
