My first idler-drive turntable. Saw it in a thrift shop, paid the princely sum of $70, and lugged it home.
It seems quite tidy and complete. I haven’t spent any time underneath it yet other than to confirm it looks equally clean. I need to order one of the overpriced little cartridge sleds from somewhere but mostly seems ok so far. It spins, speed changes, etc. Possibly running slow. Cueing lever doesn’t appear to work. Plinth looks original and salvageable.
I know there is plenty of guidance out there on refurbishing these. I would appreciate any “must do” advice from those who know. Thanks.
