Paillard GGR 255 turntable taper.

Post by emgcr »

I recently had cause to locate a difficult-to-find turntable for an itinerant Paillard GGR 255 spring motor. Not having success, I therefore determined to seek out a quality company capable of making a High Speed Steel taper reamer. I sent the firm a loose spindle and established that the taper is completely non-standard at 0.0908”/inch---crazy measurement and clearly the reasons for such a strange gradient were known only to Paillard themselves !

I now have such a reamer and the capability of converting any turntable tapered centre to this specification should anyone else have a similar requirement---please forward a PM.

The service and quality of the firm which made the reamer was second to none and I would recommend them unreservedly for any specialist work.
