A friend in PR offers restoration of older Technics and Marantz tables (re-wires the arm, refreshes the motor, etc). He spruces them up aesthetically by veneering. I think the result is appealing. This is a Technics SL1500 mkii. OBG.

That is beautiful. A huge visual improvement IMHO. I'm sure it changes the resonant points as well, probably for the better.
What does one do to "refresh" a motor?

Very cool, I love the look of DIY or spruced up tables.

Did not ask what refreshing the motor entailed specifically (I was drooling at the veneer job - sorry).

Does your friend have a website? I have a buddy in California who might be interested in his services.

His name is Dennis Garcia. If your friend contacts him he can use me as a reference (Pepe in Pittsburgh).
