I feel much better now, I really do...
the usual big flywheel behind that gives that smooth, weighty spin across the dial, as only a classic Jap tuner does.
My Tandberg 2075 does pretty well for a weighty spin....

See which way round the tt goes?
Further itch scratching has resulted in the purchase of a sr-212 turntable to go with the au-101
There's an issue however ,the power cords been cut and it's polarity is not obvious is there a way to determine its polarity?
Thanks
Yes, otherwise there would have been a lot more experimentation with playing records backwards in the two-pronged, none-polarized, plug world of yesteryear.Assuming it has a switch - it should switch the live/brown.
The motor will go the right way due to the phase advance cap irrespective of which way the mains is connected.
Don't worry, a lot of the of Europe (Spain included) has non-polarized Schuko plugs and receptacles. Hardly any turntables have ever run backwards here.Further itch scratching has resulted in the purchase of a sr-212 turntable to go with the au-101

With the Connoisseur BD1/BD2/etc. it isn't so much mains polarity as it is the lack of a phase capacitor. There is a big hint as to why none was fitted within the following picture (hence the rubber teat flick switch pictured in post #50 above).Don't worry, a lot of the of Europe (Spain included) has non-polarized Schuko plugs and receptacles.

But seriously, how could it be an issue -- it's AC! AFAICT the only reason to worry about L/N being swapped is that some equipment only switches the L/brown wire. Probably not a big concern unless you're poking around inside.
Sansui 2000 (not -X or -A). A classic and very comparable to the Kenwood KR5200.
