The turntable chassis really should be restored. All components together with the motor have to be disassembled and cleaned with distinct care. The motor bearing need to be cleaned of all the outdated oil and grease then oiled once more with significant high-quality oil in particular advisable for this bearing system. At the end of the cleaning and reassembling of the sections, the motor is dramatically much less noisy and operates extra stable. The primary platter bearing really should be disassembled, cleaned and restored. Numerous factors could be replaced: the thrust bearing plate (may well be replaced by a thicker a single designed of bronze), the paper oil gasket and the bearing bottom plate. The new primary platter bearing need to be oiled with large high quality oil having a viscosity which accommodates a wide temperature band. The final result of the bearing restoration is a extra secure and sleek rotation, much less mechanical sound and a program which is completely sealed.
All parts created of rubber (idler wheel, generate belt, rubber decoupling mushrooms, motor suspension dampers) can be meticulously cleaned applying only incredibly hot water and soap avoiding the use of any solvent which would have altered the elasticity of the rubber. This mindful cleansing course of action authorized us to preserve the outdated pieces. In actuality there is no will need to substitute them as they work just as properly as new kinds would.
The swap suppressor condenser has to be replaced.
The big and significant plinth with super damping skills is in particular critical presented the electricity of the Thorens TD 124 chassis. The finest material for the plinth is a birch plywood. 5 – 6 layers of 21 – 24 mm each and every can be glued with polyurethane glue which gives extra damping homes to the plinth. I am making use of following distinctive procedure: 14 cavities ended up dug within of the wooden system and loaded with a blend of direct balls, sand and glue. This technique provides mass to the composition for this reason keeping, dampens parasitic resonances and vibration without losing the all-natural harmonic richness of analogue instrument. It also balances the pounds of the total player. The plinth can be finished applying a Rosewood, Mahogany or any other veneer. to make the plinth seems to be like a piece of artwork you can varnish it with 12 successive levels and completely polish employing top quality floor coatings.
The total structure has to be carried by spike feet. The spikes permit you to isolate the gear from exterior vibrations in the surroundings.
