Pabst is alive and well. The problem is that the motor used in that TT is no longer made and no parts exist for repair as far as anyone (including Goldmund) knows. The JVC motor which was later used in both the Studio and Studietto is available and/or can be repaired.
One person that may have further information (like for instance, where there might be a working Pabst motor you could scavenge) is Brian Hartsell (brian4tar@aol.com) at the Analog Room in an Jose, CA. (408) 971-6158
