Thanx Ron....
Those ideas about the speed control assy is pretty much the same thing I came up with. Gib is going to do the tone arm assy as well as the flocking on the platter. He also mention he *may* have the speed control knob as well. I hope so.
Now I need to figure a way to construct the rubber motor mounts. The ones on this job are flattened down to nothing and I'll have to figure the height dimensions to homebrew a set.
There was a fellow in the San Fran. area who was rebuilding the bell/idler wheel assy's but when I got in touch with him he said he stopped doing it because of his age. I'd like to get the dimensions from him and check out the degree of difficulty in making these units. To me, it looks mostly like lathe work.
