Well, it's been a long wait but well and truly worth it. The Deck went to Australia's and probably the World's Turntable guru. He's done a magnificent job. Replaced the belt with Dental Floss which he's waxed. No more Thump. He has also Isolated the Motor, big improvement. He is going to put in a much better Motor down the Track. He has set the Deck up to Perfection. It is just sounding absolutely magnificent!
While the design is very Clever, the Deck does come with flaws, but once ironed out and set up correctly, is a Superb "Sounding" Deck. Very lively, energetic, a real Toe-Tapper.
