Hi, thank you very much for your video.. i am restoring a Thorens TD125 mk1 with Sme 3002 series 2 (non improved). I noticed that the second piece of the balance weight is missing.. i can reproduce it with my lathe, but i would need dimensions and weight .. But the user manual says that can be removed , and used only when the cartridge/shell is very "heavy" or with a tracking force over 2.5 grams.. what do you think about? thanks!

Why do people who are involved with acoustics have such a bad taste when it comes to choosing music for the background - KZbin has a nice library of free music and all you need to do is go there and just listen and then make your choice - what use is there in playback technic if all you have to offer is noise?

Hi, this is the first SME 3009 series (you can tell by the plastic /Bakelite headshell) , Then was replaced by the SME3009 series 2 improved , witch has no improvement in perfornance over this one, this is the go to vintage SME arm. It can take a regular screw in headshell as long as you align the cartridge. Hope this helps.

@askemarina35428 жыл бұрын
Look under the platter and there will be an oil well. That is how it works with my hydraulic reference. I would use something to absorb the old oil like a few rags and clean it out, then pour in the new oil. Good luck!
@MrHawkwind8 жыл бұрын
The fluid is not oil as such although any fluid with the correct viscocity will work, it probably won't smell too nice. Contact Michell Engineering for the correct silicon fluid. Spills can be cleaned up using lighter fluid but be careful of damaging the finish. If you really want to improve the decks performance consider replacing the AC motor with an Origin Live DC motor kit, it is not cheap but it only takes about an hour to swap them over and the improvements are worth every penny. Also try adding a few layers of heat shrink around the outside of the main bearing housing, a smaller difference but worthwhile.
