Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

I have just acquired a 32 year old JVC/Victor TT-101 DD turntable after having its lesser brother, the TT-81 for the last year.
TT-101
This is one of the great DD designs made at a time when the giant Japanese electronics companies like Technics, Denon, JVC/Victor and Pioneer could pour millions of dollars into 'flagship' models to 'enhance' their lower range models which often sold in the millions.
Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.

I see you have miss quoted me also, I did not say how in "hell"
anywhere in my post but still find your your sweeping 
assumptions of others opinions off putting.

But carry on as usual.

There is no way the TT-71 aka QL-7  in N.A. a base model is coreless
but coming from raul its simply another off the cuff 
nonsensical remark.

I have that huge service manual and to my surprise TT-101 motor does not require lubrication !


 If anyone believes that "I have a bridge" and all that.

Speaking of Victor TT-101 plinths, three armboards 
CLD construction, threaded inserts for table and armboards.

Yes it was an interesting project, all it took was time since 
I had the tools and equipment.

Wasn't it enough just to adjust the one higher or lower? 

By adjusting one direction then the other lewm was 
able to locate the "sweet spot" not to high or to low.
