Empire 208 turntable

When we made our new plinth the difference was immediately audible. Its machined out of solid aluminum and fits all the old parts except the arm. You can treat the old plinth with damping materials, but the stiffer you can make the coupling from the platter bearing to the base of the arm the better.

Filled outer ring with plumber paste available at most hardware stores. It is easy to mold into place and doesnt dry out.Immediately took care of all platter ringing
Removing motor covermade no perceptible difference
Just otdered new belt and grommets from Esoteric.
Use rabco ST8 arm. fit is perfect this combo is not only visually stricking, it also sounds fabulous.

Are there any instructions on how to oil the bearings?
