In Reply to: Rega P2 Tweaks ? posted by Ross on July 28, 2020 at 19:22:28:
Yes I'm a cheapskate and want the most for the least !
Joking aside, I can not justify paying for all of the costly upgrades that are available. So a new motor, power supply, exotic inner platter etc are off the table (no pun intended).
From a cursory web search it appears that some of the recommended tweaks are very cost effective. Use of grommets, rubber nipples, and rubber o rings etc. A new bearing (jewel or ceramic) is inexpensive. A metal inner platter can be found for a less than dear price.
My questions were directed at those that have tried some of these tweaks so I can get feedback while I decide what to do.
At a min, I will "blueprint" the deck....disassemble, clean, lube and adjust to factory specs before I do anything.
Deck dates from about 1986 based upon ser no.
Thanks
