Connoisseur

Bearing housing showing screw adjustment and an unusual phosphor bronze or brass spring inside.

Note machined conical tip which bears on bottom plate of bearing. Traces of grease indicate that this is a grease bearing, in any case the bearing housing does not appear to be designed to hold oil.

Underside of platter showing printed paper stroboscopic markings. These are illuminated by a neon and reflected by a mirror at the front of the top plate (a la TD124) to allow speed alignment.

Idler drive wheel, with thick rubber, runs on conical motor shaft. The speed change knob on the left of the top plate has an inner mechanical adjuster which moves the idler up and down for fine speed adjustment

Note the motor suspended on rubber bushes, the rod which connects the on switch to the microswitch, the tube (undone) which feeds oil to the motor bearing from the top plate hole and the base of the adjustable bearing
