Apparent wiring mods look  like factory mod. I have seen this before on other decks.

Thank you Graham, made the missing excenter yesterday as I had the lathe running anyway, took measurements from a photo in another thread and came up with OD 11 Mm, I made the excenter offset 1.2 mm that gives me an adjustment of 2.4 mm, I hope that is enough.

As I wanted to attach the drive string, it turned out to be about 20 mm short, check the pic and tell me if it is original or not.

There should be a spring too which could make up for the missing 20mm.

I know the spring should be there, I calculated the spring to about 20 mm, still missing 20 mm, the string is correct attached and the loop just passes the guide gap in the right side of the carriage

Are you sure you have the path correct, also around the large black wheel ?

Exactly like in the manual

I will place it and take a pic tomorrow, getting late here🙂

The cord for the carriage turned out too short, so I found a cotton thread, thicker then the original, but useable for tests, an old belt from a Beocord was cut to length and super glued, to fit the carriage drive. Assembled, after cleaning, lubricating everything and put in a new fuse I tested all functions turning the pulley by hand, then put on the platter belt and a 45 record, I could adjust the set down point with the new eccentric, but the next one will get more offset.

I went on adjusting platter height, sensor arm height and then the tonearm height, not possible, the adjustment screw was very hard turned in to the last thread. Found out the the lower small triangle support was broken. Took the carriage apart, to get at the broken piece,

Here the cable assembly with components.

I then placed the support in my wise, drilled a 1.5 mm hole, exactly where the triangle was broken off.

Inserted a pin from a 5 pin Din plug with epoxy, left to dry. Will cut to length and try it tomorrow. I maybe will have to file the triangle form to fit, but will check as is first.

I enjoy repairs like this.
Very rewarding.
