@alanpiga, was the belt the issue?

As @swampwalker mentioned, Doug Deacon is the king of all things Teres belts, but you can always fall back on VHS leader and splicing tape. A VHS splicing block will ensure perfect alignment. In the meantime, cotton thread or dental floss will make a good test belt (tied with a simple square knot - make sure the string is aligned so the knot doesn't make a "thump" when passing the pulley) . Although I'm pleased with my Verus motor, I really miss the ability to start the Signature belt motor with a simple push of the platter (and also stopping the motor by stopping the platter). |
Here is a link to a discussion for mylar belt construction. http://https//forum.audiogon.com/discussions/for-those-using-holographic-mylar-as-a-tt-drive |
I have a Teres from the beginning diy era. It has a thick acrylic platter with the great clamp and I run a well tempered 12" arm. When mine is running the motor speed fluctuates very easily, it almost feels like if I breath on the platter it will drop. Upon research I ran across some mentions that there was a simple mod to the motor/controller to rectify this but I couldn't find any more detail. Can anyone enlighten me further? i love the table and feel it has a ton of potential if I could get this sorted. |
