Thanks @bima I hope it will help our readers and users of DP-80
My unit was NOS, probably unused, i only did the correction of the spindle position by unscrewing 4 bolts from the bottom and tightening them again after checking the position of the platter by verifying the gap around the platter from the top side. My motor block with the spindle was a bit off-centered (probably in the shipping process), but it was very easy to fix.
The tape read-head is spot on and everything is just fine and rotation is nice and smooth (noise free).
I only think about the lubrication, i have the oil supplied for my ex Technis SP-10 mkII by KAB. I can definitely do that if it’s necessary. But how many drops of oil i have to add ? I remember for SP-10mkII the recommendation was just to use a few drops (maybe 6) ? @bpnaudio I wish to prevent leakage of the spindle oil all over the drive inside :))
Still not sure about the damping material inside the platter, they do not recommend (in the manual) to unscrew the platter. But if you did that yourself maybe i can do that too.
Direct link to the material we can buy for the platter would be nice.
