Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Hi Misha,The two seconds for the display to change is normal.  If you put it in run mode you can watch it count up.  It does the same in hold mode, though only updates the display at the end of the cycle - every 1.8s IIRC.  If it's stopping as Lew...

Hi Misha, Never had my hands on an SL-10 or 15, though I certainly wouldn't mind playing with one. I’ve limited my collection, for the most part, to the absolute statement ’tables from the Japanese manufacturers, though I may sneak an EMT in the m...

I currently have in my collection a few SP-10MK3, an NOS SP-10MK2A, DP-100, L-07D, PS-X9, TX-1000, TT-101, and an SL-1200 GAE and MK4.  Oh, and a TD-224, just because I like the clockwork mechanics. Most of them are in the refurb queue, and as suc...

best-groove, Fix first, re-cap after.  You'll want to ensure the power supply voltages are correct, so you may need to re-cap the supplies.

I'd say the A505 is a near second, but it may be a wash; one has better bearings, the other an adjustable counterweight. http://fidelisanalog.com/img_0707/

Totem, The DP-100M came with their bionic arm and the controls for it, whereas the DP-100 came with an armband of some choosing (I've seen two variants, one being 12" SME), and no provisions for the 100M arm.

20 poles on the MK3.  Victor used a synthetic lubricant, though 30+ years may be pushing it.  Wear of the thrust pad will affect coil to rotor gap which could have a negative affect, being dual-rotor.

Thanks, guys!  Glad to help.  
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
To each his own, nandric. It’s a venture I certainly don’t recommend. The ones with bad suspensions exhibit some real troublesome behavior, not that any elastomer even approaching this age is what it once was. Though, I know some prefer the sound ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I'd say nearly all.  From preliminary measurement this is the only well-performing suspension I have out of a bit over a dozen examples.

Interesting. The stock screw wouldn't fit in a washer, certainly not that one.
