I want to give my LP12 a light refurbishment; I have a new(er) cirkus bearing, sub-platter and sub-chassis along to replace the existing white lined bearing etc.
I need some advice re the top plate; should I get a replacement for the existing as it dips on the arm board side by about 3mm as below:
I also need some suggestion with regard to refinishing the plinth where the lid bumps have worked away the top (lacquer?) as below:
Should it be sanded down or a stripper used?
The rest of the plinth is in good condition and is fluted so sanding and stripping the sides would be a bit of a chore.
Ideally I'd like to just clean up the top edge and then match it back to the sides.
The plinth is supposed to be walnut, which is what I paid Studio 99 to fit in around 1990, but I think it's more likely an afromosia plinth, although it's quite light and matches some teak I have.
Thanks in advance.
