Anybody know how to remove the SP10 motor for oiling purposes?

Sorry been away. As soon as I'm home tonight I'll look up my notes and post the process.

Sorry, Gerry, should have mentoined earlier. I managed to remove the motor rotor, there's a small plate holding it in place with two covered screws.

Removing the plate lets you lift the rotor out. Mine was clean and oiled OK so back in it went.

Slightly off-topic - Are there any pics of an SP10 being broken up and re-plinthed anywhere ?
I guess I should check on slatedeck section .
Wondering how good a DD sounds with a proper arm on it , and maybe a graphite mat .

Don't know of any pics Mark but what do you mean by 'broken up'?

The SP10 drops straight into Darren's plinth including the bottom plate.

I'm not sure what you mean here Mark?

This one that's a little different underneath is currently on it's way to us to be plinthed up. I'm not sure if this helps you though?

Never seen one of those before, what exactly is it?

All I was told by the owner is that it's a MK1 SP10.

Other than that I have no idea except Panasonic is involved.
Where they the same company?

I'll have a better look when it gets here.

Ok, sorry, my confusion, yes, its a mk1, servo controlled instead of the quartz of the mk2 and 3. I didn't realise the mk1 had variable pitch, but I guess its a lot simpiler to do that without a xtal reference.

Yes it is a MKI. Probably for the South African market as this was the name they used there. A few might have made it to the UK under the Panasonic name. Matsushita Corp was the parent company to the 2 brand names.

Thanks for the info chaps .
I've got the gist of the thing now.
I assumed it would come as a package with an arm and need bodging to fit different stuff, but it seems it was a garrard-style motor unit you had to set into a plinth and use your own arm anyway ....which is useful

OK , what's a 'BBC' psu for an SP10 ? I have seen a Mk2 for sale with this , presumeably a non-standard PSU but maybe it's good ?

big subject

I'll try with what I know, the BBC sp 10 is the 'P' model and in standard form does need a different PS, the reason I say standard is that the BBC did all manner of different sp10 installations some with their own PS,

the Technics standard sp10 mkII/P PS is a rack mounted unit,

hope this makes sense
