In Reply to: Wien bridge oscillator only a partial fix. posted by Mark Kelly on December 19, 2004 at 15:59:43:
1 vibrates as the table is running. This is not something that would run silently on the top of a guitar.In fact, the speed stability of both my Garrards is as flawless as I could hope for. I can set the speed and it will still be spot on a couple of weeks later. We have very clean power here in my part of NYC. It really helped that my building was entirely rewired a few years ago. I remember that it had the effect of a big expensive tweak.
I was only interested in the wein bridge occilator for its ability to take the eddy current brake out of operation. I have heard that this dose indeed reduce motor noise when the speed is regulated by something other then a magnetic break.
BTW, a really big improvement in my 30l happened almost by accident. The main bearing gasket started to leak, so I went to the hardware store to see if I could buy paper gasket material. They only had rubber sheets and in a l/i6" thickness. I figured I would give it a try. I cut it out in the shape of the original paper gasket, but rather than cutting out the center hole, I mahined a depression which was about as deep as the original gasket was thick, so the thrust bearing now sits on a rubber pad.
This was just a temporary fix, but I will never change it. That is, until I can afford the Shindo mods.
