JVC tt-101 repair

Have you seen The TT-801 on the bay. Man! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Rare-Victor-JVC-TT-801-Direct-Drive-Turntable/323257267444?hash=item4...

I've seen several nice 801's show up, but none of them had healthy platter mats.  The vacuum doesn't work without the original mat. 

Got the cable in today & put my AT30e on. Sounds really nice. Very Happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPYYz3JHQY&feature=youtu.be

Hi, my trusted repairer today has given up and in a few days I will return the TT 101 (after 9 months) partly repaired and partly still broken ..... now I have to look for a repairer who knows the TT101 as himself.
