[QUOTE="MusicMan_ZA, post: 524613, member: 14924"] And she is up and running! :thumbs: I replaced the rubber bands from a packet of hundreds of assorted bands, R18 from Waltons. 3 little round red ones did the trick, and I have used a 4th on the outside, hooked into the cable guide screwed to the side of the motor and another cable guide screwed to the inside of the top plate (both pre-existing) to slightly tilt the motor away from the spindle. When the belt is fitted the tension counteracts this tilt and the motor hangs pretty level. My nudge-start knobby is worn away/missing, so I give the platter a hand start - I actually prefer this. My wrong-way magafter (looks like a comma) sits at the top - I can't see what it is supposed to do? But it was worth the struggle - this table sounds great for what it is!
