mounted Rega RB300
overall alignment done
given the acrylic base is fixed to the plinth so the adjustment to the 3 suspension springs was really a pain
took me almost 2hour to align the chassis to level with the plinth
gosh!
tested and i would say 99.95% ready... however the VTA is not right
i need a spacer. maybe 2-4mm to raise the arm higher. that would be perfect!
the cartridge is Shure M95ED
(FYI: you will never go wrong with this cartridge for the best of 80s retro music)
another imperfection is one of the screw mounting hole. it is about 2mm away from the chassis
so i give the last screw hole a missed to test drive the unit
overall great satisfaction
tested with both speeds, sound perfect to my ears
the aesthetic is simply gorgeous and will goes well with all furniture
looks high-end too ;-)
thks for reading
with this the refurbishment of the TD125Mk1 project is finally over!!!

Finally. took me about a year to finish this project
the last post was back in April2013
i will not give the excuse of busy or no time
lazy is the word!
the acrylic armboard is ready for Rega300
the mounting hole is 25m diameter and away from spindle hole 222m
from the side view
from the "back side"
top view
just last weekend sent to Adrian to get the speed adjusted
i am lucky to get the neon strobe light replace (from Zenn, he has some parts left over from a dismantle unit) so it will shine on the strobe disc and reflect the speed light on the window
originally this unit the inner platter came without the stobe plate (ref to the pic in my earlier posting) but found one at Ah Koon and cost me $90
so retro looking
i have a Rega RB300 ready to complete the project
stay tuned!
