Can't get the papers in any furthar than this: The spindle points in the same direction as the bearing marker line. The damping material has come away from the spindle and attached to the top of ther bearing



underneath the clamp. will need to disassemble to clean later



Motor spindle, boltheads showing signs of rust



Ok see where the spindle points, between platter and bearing there is contact at the top on this side...



and on the bottom on the opposite side, fishy?



I'm try to show here how the armboard is not square to the corner of the TT



top surface of bronze platter, starting to score again,



but that gap is *tiny*




taken it off now



Bearing assembly and armboard removed, you can see the heads of the bolts that screw into the sorbo supports underneath, the Bearing assy spikes are supposed to locate in them.




Bearing assembly, pin on left opposite reference mark, signs of scuffing at the rim



trying to show "play" in bearing you have to switch between photos






Underneath



Where the arm is fixed and wired, the cable fixture has come away - careful



Bearing end



The cable is VDH D502 apparently



I need to lie down for a while now..
