Excellent video. Decent turntables these.

@@ashleycox432 thank you, it really is appreciated. It’s just a shame I didn’t actually video the part, showing it randomly going in reverse 🙄.

@@retfurb I write blogs and always forget to take pictures of the important bits. It's just what happens when you get stuck into a project.

Always change the RCAs, the toothed speed adjustment belt and, preferably, the drive belt on Dual 500 series.....the RCAs are a poor-quality moulding and hum, eventually breaking down in the connection in the plug. Drive belts twist and refuse to change speed when old, and the toothed belt goes hard and disintegrates.

@@shage2595 thanks for the additional info 👍🏻

Not only do the caps fail, they are prone to shorting out & creating a large quantity of foul smelling smoke! Rifa safety caps should be replaced on sight 👍
