Mods please place this in the correct forum, I presume D.I.Y or Classic or here.
I have dug my first turntable out of the loft. Purchased in the mid 70's new.
I know the motor will need a rewind as speed continuity was playing up in the late 80's, when I temporarily switched to cd as housing conditions not suitable for vinyl. The only missing items being the nylon tie to the anti-bias/skid and the mat, which may yet turn up. The headshell requires re-wiring, looks reasonably easy, says he
as clumsy as an ox.
I am not expecting it to outplay my main deck, but as a number 2 deck, this should suit me fine.
How do I go about this restoration, I have only worked on antique furniture bits and pieces, but nothing electrically/mechanical before, only repairs to larger, less precise household items
Advice please

PS: Motor windings look fine, perhaps I need to find the mat to see if the speed can be regulated as it is a heavy mat from memory.
