I recently finished the latest turntable project, a 1966 Thorens TD124 MKII. I'll spare you the pictures of the process and show the results. 

 The custom plinth is cherry. The arm board is Jatoba, reclaimed from a floor we removed on a remodel we did a few years ago. 



 
What a masterpiece! I like the two different kinds of wood.
That turntable is as old as ME.

Doesn't take much of a wobble to mess up the tracking. And its just asking to be bumped into and possibly knocked over. Not to mention drinks getting set on it and spilled.

Yep, got an SL 1700 from 1978 or so.  The only remaining piece from my original rig as a 20 something yo.

Give it a shot in the pots now and then with contact cleaner and lube the bearing with auto tranny fluid.

Solid as a rock.  Using it now.  Tubular Bells.

The speed pots going flakey and needing cleaning is a common problem on Technics tables.

Plays in any position because the arm is held to the record with a 20lb spring and a steel stylus that turns your record into a spiral.
