Hi Mosin,It was the motor itself vibrating. I tried everything to sort it out, right down to re-centring the coils, but I just could not nail it. Gave up in the end, and got myself another motor which I was able to make a LOT quieter.Philip

Just listening to Dinah Washington on my 88 with RB250 with new counterweight and Shure V15 MkIV, through T-Pre and T-Amp and Fostex 168S mounted in Norh 5.0s, with a huge smile on my face. Never heard anything quite so beautiful and satisfying.

Hi Mario and Johnnantais,Thank you for the replies. I've tried adjusting the block, and although I can make it worse, I can't make it any better... As for the wiring, I think it's correct, but where can I check it? Currently, going from left to ri...

Hi Everyone,This is my first post, and I thought I'd managed to get hooked just as the thread disappeared...I've got myself a LEAK delta version of the Lenco, metal idler wheel and all. I've made a new (very ugly!) plinth from left-over chip-board...
