thats a fine example of a 124 Tony . It looks 'new' !
I suspect it is now not far off as good as a TD-124 can be. I’m happy with the last motor rebuild and new oil, there is now very little drift between cold and warmed-up, the blue belt has got rid of any belt noise, the Hanze springs help isolate the motor. I'd like to find a better idler at some point, I have two, and they are the only remaining area for noise as I suspect they are a bit hardened compared to what they’d have been like 50 years ago. The main bearing is a Schopper, the top platter a Retrotone, so it has been ‘tweaked’ a bit, but it is still very much an iron platter TD-124 at heart. I’m tempted to bung a large order in at Audio Silente at some point and try one of their idlers and grab a pair of motor coils just in case I have any reoccurrence of the ‘green goo’, but Brexit has made dealing with the EU punishing!
