Oracle Delphi Mark I

Here's a very cool turntable I thought I'd share with everyone.

I picked this up from a local friend a while back. It is in need of a maintenance kit as you can see a few of the springs have issues. I also need to service the Mission 774 tone arm and figure out how to mount a nice cartridge to it.

The maintenance kits run about $250 for these so this will not happen anytime soon but thought I'd share a few pictures.

I'd appreciate any thoughts and suggestions you have as I am new to Oracle TT's and Mission tonearms...

Where would be the best place to get a belt for this table? Looking for something stateside.

From best I can tell it's a Delphi Mark I

Your help will be appreciated.
 
Purchase a belt from Oracle, and see if between the power supply and the TT there is another black box called a "dynamic isolator" then it would be a Delphi MKII,also make sure there is oil in the main bearing well it can seep out after 20-30yrs.1/4oz. 5w-20 motor oil is good, the springs are just out of adjustment do not need replacement,Best wishes.

Thanks for the reply. While checking it out further I found that there is no oil in the bearing well. The belt I have may work once I clean the well and get some oil in it.

Do you mean between the power supply and the acrylic plinth? I took a look but am not sure exactly what I am looking for.
