Good advice here.

It really is a simple device so shouldn't be difficult. No need to call a plumber. ;^)

BTW, I found my 16.5 would heat up if I cleaned more than 3-4 records at a session. The spindle actually became hot. So I got a Whisper Fan and mounted that on the back, wiring it to the vacuum switch to turn on at the same time.

No noticeable difference in the noise and it has run cool ever since.
