oldhvymec, can you give me some more detail on your idler wheel mods, not sure what you mean concerning offsets. I think I follow your line about machining a groove on the OD of the platter and using say a rubber o-ring and having that in line with the idler wheel on the inside.
I'd want to find a spare platter to make that mod to as mine is in very nice shape. Sounds like an excellent idea though. Remember turning brake drums on the brake lathe? Used a rubber strap on the OD to kill any resonances. Same idea.

pindac, I have been looking at the Lenco Heaven forum, some neat builds there although I'm not a big fan of Lenco TT they have some good ideas.
Thanks

Anyone using Sonic Barrier from Parts Express? A bit like Dynamat, want to apply t to the bottom of the aluminum chassis. After stripping the chassis, it rings like a bell if tapped.

billwojo you ever look at my page. Just click the virtual page. ONE pic then it will fold out.. I'm not into showing a bunch of stuff, just some stuff.. LOL. I'll straighten it out if I stay at AG.. We'll see.

I'll find some pics of the two different designs of the axels for the driver wheel. YES both were overseas. One in Southeast Asia, one in Eastern Europe somewhere if I remember..

Love the paint job you did on the Russco chassis, much like what I plan as well. Do you find the rubber mat an improvement over the felt mat? I was planning on going with a red felt mat and grey hammertone powder coat.
What cartridge are you running? I'm going to put a Denon DL-103 on mine. Love those old things.
