Used Oracle - Help setting up

Brooks Berdan LTD. in Monrovia CA is the Oracle man.

Hello
If you wanted to send me the serial number of your table I could tell you what vintage it is as you can not tell by looking at the pillars as someone may have upgraded the table.
The most important thing to remember is to make sure that the table is sitting level once set up with arm and cartridge and that when you push down on the spindle that all corners of the table bounce equally.
A great place to start when tweaking an older Oracle is to purchase the Oracle Maintenance kit which supplies you with all new springs , dampners , oil , belt etc.
We have sold Oracles with SME's and Graham's but they also work very well with Rega , Origin Live mod. arms and Kuzma and depending on what you have for a system will help dictate which cartridge should be used as well as your price point.

Thanks for all the replies re: Oracle - since there are posts sitcking up form the centre of the pillars my turntable is proably a MKI or II - sticking out of the plinth is a control unit which says Oracle and lights up when you press the on/off switch - the overall finish looks matt so its probably a MK I.

regarding the arm - I was wondering if I could use a modified rega 250 - what are your thoughts on this? I haven't got a very large budget for the arm/cartridge - but a firend offererd to sell me his benz micro quite inexpensively.

Your help would be appreciated.

Hi, is there a 33/45 rpm switch or just an ON/off switch?

Oracle is alive and well and living in Canada. The suspension upgrade kit costs $150; includes new springs, dampers, belt,etc. The belt runs about $19, by itself. Set your table LEVEL. You can call Oracle at 1-819-573-5488. Pierre Beliveau is very helpful and courteous. Hope this info helps you. If you tell him your serial #, he will tell you which model you have.
