The 301 has found a new home. I did however get promised that the refurbishment process will be posted on the forum.

Thanks for all the advice, guys. For foreseeable future I won't have the capacity to do a proper job of the refurbishment myself, so have decided to let the TT go. I'm sure it will find a good home with one of the forum members who've already PM'ed me.

Garbage collection happens to be tomorrow morning, so just wanted to check before I threw it out. It looked kinda lonely out there on the sidewalk so I put a box of old LP's next to it to keep it company. On a more serious note, I'm not the most qualified person to attempt a refurbishment...

Cut the screw connection of the terminals leaving about 7mm to solder the mains wire onto. Threaded the mains wire through the original hole (red lines). Put on...

I've not been able to find very low profile right angle plugs, so I made my own. Bought the female kettle cord plugs from AP electronics, cut it 5mm after the insertion point, applied some soldering and heat shrink and filled the cavity with black RTV silicone. Viola! A power plug with a cord...
