Good going, Cliff. I see you posted it one day and the VERY NEXT day it was repaired! Not bad!!! Congrats on the find and the quick repair.

I had forgotten about the difference on models with the bullet brake. That makes sense. Gold being somewhat soft that type of brake would likely quickly wear it off.

I was anxious to get it up and running. Didn't know how far I was going to get putting the motor together, wasn't sure if all the parts were there, but they were!

I flattened out the turntable so no more wobble. View a new video on YouTube here:
