KD500

Yowzaaaaaaa, and a working dust cover, that alone is worth the asking price, that's going to be one nice table when spruced up.
 
Remember any glory shots of this tt all fixed up need to include one of the front of the tonearm rest that shows the BW red insignia. Folks forget that pic all the time and it is the coolest part of that tonearm. Discrete and all telling.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the tips, ideas and advice. Bidding just closed on this and I got it for 148.50. It needs a few pieces and some elbow grease but I should be up to the task.

Nice work @Larry T ,

That black widow arm is quite rare, nice find. I just recently restored a KD-550. Super easy table to work on.

I found the table on CL for $40 bucks... the arm on the other hand I'll not give numbers lol! I originally was looking for the black widow, you have yourself a killer set up man.

Lube the motor, swap the 4 caps, hit the pots/switches with some deoxit. As for feet, they are not to hard to find. But as you stated you have access to a machine shop, the table made it to a good home :)

They are really good tables, the stone material really eats up the vibration, just a solid table.

Kind Regards,
John
 
Larry T congrats great price on a great table/arm/cartridge, you wont be disappointed and as you said a little elbow grease it will be shining again.
 
Yes that's them, about $50 on Amazon for a set of four. The rubber is firm but not hard. They come with different size bolts, the M6 fits my KD750. You have to get some M6 nuts to lock the bolt in the feet, then you can just screw the whole thing into the TT, and adjust the hight to level it.
