[QUOTE="marcochezzi, post: 974566, member: 21001"] And since I am just a little OCD, and I like things to match, and I have those Studer style NAB adapter on the Technics, who am I to stand in the way of change... So the first port of call was to remove the various parts of the spindle cover, which exposed the front of the motor mechanism. there is an aluminium bracket that sits between the motor shaft and the spindle, and looking at the steel spindle nose I was a little worried that the spindle nose shaft was in fact an elongated motor shaft, with the aluminum bracket simply clamped to the shaft in order to hold the reel plate in the correct "depth" position. Thankfully I was wrong and on removing the two locking screws, the entire spindle affair came off the motor shaft..... great... 3 screws and the inner trident plate comes off, three screws and the reel plate comes off, 2 locking screws and the aluminium assembly comes off the motor shaft.. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/LIE0BGJ.jpg[/IMG] Leaving you with more or less this, no need to open the physical machine whatsoever.. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wx0QdM6.jpg[/IMG] Good, because now I can engage the brain, turn on the tooling and start making a mess of things... This is what I want, however obviously on the existing system there is no way to clamp this NAB adapter to the stock spindle shaft... [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Y7i8WJZ.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
