I'm guessing you probably want to sell your PL-6A?The arm on the Nivico is similar, but the bearing is quite different. I can honestly say the Nivico SRP-471E-3 is one of the best sounding tables ive ever heard. Im guessing due to the arm.

I call dibs!
That was my big concern. I could mount in some fairly standard neoprene washers or something along those lines, but I don't want to mess the alignment of anything. That whole issue makes me concerned about taking it apart and getting it back together. Thoughts are appreciated. It's a sweetheart of a deck.Please let us know if you find a source for the motor mounts. I have one of these lovely turntables, too, and the motor mounts are just puddles of goo. I cannot even tell what their original size or shape was. It would be most helpful if someone who has good mounts could post a dimensioned sketch. Note that there are two different sizes. There are 3 of one size and 4 of the other size.

Most of the idler wheels I've seen are like a hard rubber. The bigger wheel here is like, squishy. Any vibration that makes it to that thing will be dead in a hurry.
Oh, and the plastic tab on the start/stop button is busted
Would it be strange or heresy to strip the automatic functions as much as possible and run it as a manual? I've heard tale that the best turntables are manuals because all of the extra gearing just creates more rumble and rattle and resistance for the tonearm. I usually wouldn't worry about it, as I prefer the automatic functions to having to remember to lift the needle when a side runs out, but if this thing sounds as good as people seem to think it does, it might be worth the extra effort?Very nice indeed. You can get that part replaced. And the glass too. I got my glass piece replaced.

Also: Did anybody else get the original 45 adapter with theirs?
And i have the original 45 adapter with mine.
Here you go.
Much thanks for the picture.
Did not know that is from Nivico.
Have vague recollection, have seen it somewhere.
Lol. It is. Want me to take a picture with it on the Nivico?
