That’s a lot of great spares for very little money. I will certainly use this, as I like swapping cartridges from time to time. This deck is definitely one for palliative care only and is therefor a prime donor for transplant surgery on the other deck. Maybe I’ll make a repair stand, or perhaps build a nice wooden plinth like I did for my Dual 505. Even so, I’ll probably use the mounting plate at least. That would explain why it thinks all records are 7″ diameter. The circlip on the selector follower is missing and the part is floating free in the chassis. Under the bonnet I can immediately see the reason for the declared fault. It’s cosmetically a bit rough as advertised.
The arm looks to be in good condition and returns to it’s rest, unlike mine. Even though I had repaired the original, this one was in better condition. First thing I did was to swap the motors. Zero 100 donorĪs look would have it a Zero 100SB for “spares or repairs” came up on e-bay. There may be even more damage? I’ll soon find out. It’s just as well because I have since noticed that the arm was damaged in the fall.

Before setting out on that repair, just in case the damage was terminal, I decided to hedge my bets and look out for a replacement motor or maybe a full turntable for spares. Fortunately I successfully repaired the Synchro lab motor. The most obvious damage was to the motor. I had got it working and was about to re unite it with it’s plinth. My latest acquisition of a splendid vintage Garrard turntable has turned from a simple restoration to something of an epic job.
