Bought this one mid 80s.

Another one

One of the many

There is a friction plate that engages the arm and pulls it over. Likely need cleaning or adjusting.

this is how a creased KEF t33 measures. No fixing this one.

Gasket paper from your local auto store would work and be easier to cut out.

yup. log measures are added.

KD750 counterweight stub diameter, 13.7mm KD650 .... 13.5mm, yup, it will not quite fit on. Jelco ... 12mm If you manage to get a whole KD650 arm, you can drop the whole thing in, keeping the height adjustment from the KD750. The arm from the 650 is a slightly better arm (better wiring...

the kd650 cw is a different diameter

Try it upside down.

Or converted. All the transformers should have dual primaries. Keep the cable capacitance low.

Check out a kef 103.2.

Experimenting

The answer is above. Mix some polyester resin, mekp and chalk and use that as glue. You might want to use unpromoted resin and exclude air with tape or something.

Unlike the Townsend, the Kenwood has a lid, but yes, eventually the silicone will become filled with dust. That would be many years down the track.

I had, well have, a Townsend Rock. The turntable itself, with it's wobbly upside down bearing and silly little clock motor had a few issues, but the front end damping trough was easy to use and provided superb results. I ripped the trough off the turntable and glued it onto my favourite TT, a...

I brought a brand new xv15 757s a very long time ago. Damn it was good. Replaced it with an at oc9 which was a bit better. later replaced the busted 757s stylus with a eliptical and the magic was gone. Still. In an rb300 or similar mass arm the pickering can sing with the right diamond.

there is no such thing as a true DC motor. what you think of as a DC motor is a 'mechanically commutated' AC motor. It's not a very good solution, with brushes and opposite pole pairs and the associated compromises. It has the virtue of being cheap and well developed.

the papst aussenlaufer 3 phase motor, if driven optimally does not exhibit cogging, nor speed drift. If you wish to upgrade again, reinstall the old AC motor and drive it with an adjustable 3 phase generator. If it's a 2 phase motor, well, forget what i said.

and whines too.

i have an adc vlm. it is excellent. what are you hoping to improve on?

It's not even crated up yet. That's a future job, head back to NZ, build crates and send the rest of our stuff. Shipping here is interesting. Sea freight, pallets, lighters etc, no shipping containers in this place. Hmm, what to bring out? Do i bring my record and turntable collection...

Star Wars, i've just watched. Hmmmm. Most of my cool gear is back in NZ waiting to be crated up and shipped out. I've been watching & listening on my Oppo 105 direct into a huge NAD amp then re-made KEF Carlton-3 speakers. I've a media server hooked up too, via both the HDMI input (mythtv)...
