Where's the motor? or you didn't take it that far?

Do you find the wooden drying support imparts a better tone than the standard plastic? :lol:

Cheers,

A Delrin ring may provide more linear frequency response for those late-night organ recitals

BTW, is that a roll of TP behind the fan?

Yup, Alec! That is why I had to order a new wooden frame for my P5 too.
Wooden sounds best, go figure. :D :lol:

What's the solution you use? just water?

Well, I've done something again......Not shure this was all that smart, though..

I have a plan, and I think it will be very cool once finished.

Hi RoDa,

I have the same P5 as yours, also thinking about getting the frame off. I have taken a look at the frame, and couldn't figure out how to get the frame off the plinth. Can you advise how you did it?

Thanks,

@RoDa: the DIY thread on the record cleaner is 22 pages long. Can you tell me if there's a design they finally settled on, and maybe a source for some of those parts, like the shaped plastic, the discs, motor and bath?

Sorry, I think this washer has been like that all the time, but there are many other solutions for the motor.

So there's no parts source for the shaped plastic and discs: you have to source them from a local shop which can do that work?

If you look at the underside of the plinth, you will see six rubber pads covering holes in the plinth.
(The ones near the front of the plinth are slightly covered by the feet)

Remove these, and you will see screws that you turn to loosen the frame parts.
