look. How about a base with interior, adjustable-tension springs, designed to move the motor pod and idler wheel to proper contact with the platter? Or something...?
I'm sure there were marketing um, issues, on how exactly to present this new gizmo to the Teres customers. My god, Doug Deacon alone has spent countless hours perfecting his 'belt' drive system-now, 1600.00 bucks later, all that's thrown out. Which takes us to.....
"...you get a 'sweet' 301 for 16oo."
Actually, I think prices are dropping a bit. I've recently seen several 301's go for under 700.00. Granted, these are the bottom-of-the-line white or cream oil bearings, but even counting the shipping from the U.K a diy'er could be into a-yes, I'll say it, "sweet", though admittedly low budget-301 tt for a thousand bucks.
I've seen two 401's recently go for under 5 bills.
"....your commitment to the teres schtick...."
As part of the preceding paragraph, if you could do a 301 deck for 1k, you've already saved 6 (or is it 7?) hundred by not buying the 'Verus'.
Re-selling your Teres tt provides more fabulous cost savings.
BTW, this is with All Due Respect to Chris Brady, who has always appeared to be a real gentleman, even when entering threads, such as this, that aren't entirely, or even necessarily, complimentary to his designs.
