JH's comments:
".......anyway, your basic unit -- early run with the bolt in, as opposed to stamped in, bearing well. Don't know the history except it came out of the US via Audiogon with a beat up armboard and no tonearm. The latter has been reconditioned and had an SME3009 S2 Improved installed along with a Grado Sonata cartridge.
Acquired a new hard metal thrustplate from Joel ( violette on the VE) as well as a new belt and bearing oil kit. The platter mat is a combination cork and ISOPlatmat which is much better than the original (dead) rubber. Nordost Pulsar Points have been affixed with Blu-Tak to the corners of the plinth (the cheap baseboard removed for now and a heavy MDF to come) and then the table is mounted on a Lovan platform for virtually complete isolation......
