Congrats! It should be good to go for another century.

A very impressive job, the machine looks great. It's amazing you had time for both the restoration and the entertainment at the same time. But I have to admit I did not watch the side video's, I couldn't get away from your avatar.

Best Regards, Larry

Thanks very much all.

Phono-Phan, The tone arm and back bracket are the same on both machines, but this machine only has two holes
drilled in the case for the back bracket while the other has 4. My understanding is the lower position
would have been for a Concert reproducer, while the top holes for the larger Exhibition.
I decided not to drill any holes in the case and raise the tonearm and instead leave it as is.

Great thread and very informative. I really enjoyed this. You must be proud of yourself for taking a less than perfect machine and restoring it to it's former glory. Great job!! :D :D
