New Rega Motor, glad I waited

[JohnMichael]

Whoops! In my excitement and due to lack of info I did not let the table sit upside down while the adhesive adheres. 24 hours seems like a long time to wait. This should prevent the motor from moving as it has twice.

I should have known that with mounting similar to double faced tape that it would take time. I have used something similar putting hooks on my front door for decorations and bathroom doors for robes.

The kit comes with two pads one is double thickness and the other triple. My table requires the double so I am going to remove a layer off of the triple and remount. Needle Doctor is kindly sending me another double pad.

I was like a kid with a new toy but now I know I have to wait. Just wanted to let anyone know who might try this upgrade.

I have decided that since the table has to be upside down for 24 hours I am removing the brass bearing hub and subplatter. Since I had the hub out to add the hub bushing for the proper height I know it is easy to remove. This way I do not have to worry about oil leaking.

Another benefit of the subplatter removed is I will not have anything taped down that will make centering the pulley difficult. I may change it's oil and check the bearing. I am using the ceramic bearing but I also have a ruby and SS bearing. Also with the subplatter removed and the bearing hub out of the way there will be no worry about anything striking the cartridge.

The fun continues.
