Thorens TD124 restoration
#20

Took the spindle apart. Lots of greenish oil inside, don't know if new or old, didn't bother to find out, cleaned it off.
I have German Kluber oil for sintered bronze, used in cassette decks (specifically on Naks).
Though many recommend Schopper oil, considering all the recommended oils are for cintered bronze against polished steel shafts, I think it'll do fine. Spindle feels nice.

Ordered grommets for the motor, I thought mine were not correct, they looked like usual bobbin type while I need those with the top part cone-shaped.

Took the motor off. Only had to desolder two things: resistor and a wire from the cable.
Better than all 6 colored wires, same colours times two, so photo wouldn't be enough, would have to label.

The set screws came out easy.
The pulley is not coming off.
I certainly do not want to pry it off, let alone there is nothing to pry it against: thin metal plate, already bent...
So I am administering penetraiting oil drip. Hoping it'll come off, same way the idler did.

The grommets which I thought were flat silicone, are ideed cone-shaped on top but are so soft they were mushed by motor weight into looking like the bobbin type. Let me put new ones in anyway.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
