Looks like your stylus has been sharpened? You did that with a knife??

Nah, seriously, I did first think it was crashed, but no. There was something like hard plastic, witch I have to remove mechanically. Maybe hard playing of some hot material has melted vinyl on it?

This proofs it pays to look things closely.

Has anyone ever opened these motors? This one is a bit stiff, so in need of cleaning/lubricationing.

I´m not in urgent need of motor, so dont need replacement, but if I ever need this could be seviced...

Wow - looks great, Leslie 🤒

And I have one question: Where did you buy that 'Alu/silver look' fabric for the CX 50's?

Kind regards

Yes, quite a few of them actually.

Disassembly is rather self-explanatory. Take care when lifting off the base plate (the second one - there's another casing beneath the first one) - either first lift it 5mm and disengage the brushes through the slit, or lift out the rotor together with the base plate. Clean the brushes &  commutator and lube both bearings, then it should be fine for another 20+ years.

Ah, ok. So it doesnt need any violence?
