Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Ddriveman,The DP80 is a very nice machine especially when retrofitted into a GrooveMaster plinth, which can easily be customized to accommodate two arms, it'll be a large machine especially if you want to use 2 ea.  12" arms.  Because of the size ...

Driveman, can make any plinth you'd desire - but you will gain much more from removing the DP80 from its tin pan.This is what I do with the DP80'shttp://pbnaudio.com/audio-components/audio-turntables/groovemaster/groovemaster-vintage-direct/pbn-d....

Lyra Etna Versus Kleos
Have among others an Atlas and an Etna.  If your goal is resolution then the Atlas should be your choice it really gets every note out of the grooves.  The Etna I would clarify as extremely easy to listen to it has a great musical flow.Realize the...

Lewm,I think the two IC’s that are the hardest to find are the SC3042 and the TC5001 The rest of them are readily available today, Counters, Flip Flops, etc. I did a check on the third CMOS IC IC602 (C14046) that one is available even as a surface...

Aigenga and LewmMoving the power supply out of the TT101 should be fairly easy as its treated as a separate entity inside the TT101, the transformer and the +5VDC and the +/-12VDC regulators are on a separate board which supplies the Motor control...

In addition to the DP80, the SP10MK2 and 3 don't have any height adjustment via the bearing either.Good ListeningPeter  
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lewm, All the DD motors I've worked on, except the DP80, are made like this, the bottom cap that also holds the thrust plate for the bearing are used to adjust the rotor up / down with, which of course moves the platter up and down with it.  If yo...
