Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I first created a hole in the bottom of the chassis can, directly under the bearing housing in the dead center of the chassis can, using a hole punch designed for cutting thin metal. I didn't understand the whole explanation but it seems a delicate job; didn't you fear to do some damage compromising the result? And the oil did not spill? Under the engine I know this screw cemented by the factory. https://i.postimg.cc/T2Vm0Zj8/A.jpg Wasn't it enough just to adjust the one higher or lower? |
SAEC's SS-300 mat is aluminum, anodised black and then coated with a very thin ( and very strong ) teflon coating The success of the mat is in its cut-outs in the physical design as well as the coating which stops ringing and is gentle on records as well as being anti-static and balanced Long out-of-production, I've tried dozens of mats and the SAEC is a keeper RTatts |
SAEC's SS-300 mat is aluminum, anodised black and then coated with a very thin ( and very strong ) teflon coating I have the same feelings, it's one of the best mat in my opinion. Here is the one on my Luxman PD-444, it's perfect for almost any turntable, i've been using it on Technics SP-10mkII and SP-20 too, it is also fine for SL1210mkII+ series, Victor TT-101 or Denon DP-80. When i bought NOS sample in the box (with manual) i notices red tool and a small metal piece that allow to tighten up the mat to the spindle with a tiny screw (this is why there is a very small treated hole in the mat near the spindle hole). When you're buying a used sample these parts always missed and i believe a few people seen it. |
