Vintage Connoisseur turntable project, oak plinth but plenty still to do. The motor is there but not been used for a long time so can’t say it works, and the dust cover is not bad not cracked. The plinth needs to have a cutout added for a tone arm. Will make a good project for someone. I will not post overseas

TURNTABLE MOTOR PULLEY REMOVER and ADJUSTER for CONNOISSEUR BD1 & BD2 Hand-crafted by Williams-Sonics, my Motor Puller enables easy and safe removal of pulleys from Connoisseur BD1 and BD2 turntable motors. It will remove them quickly and safely even if they are seized on through being very tight on the motor spindle or from not being moved for many years. Removing the pulleys by hand is possible but there is the real risk that you will irrevocably damage the motors performance. The slightest bend to the spindle will take the motor out of true alignment and the effect will be heard. Unfortunately, I have encountered several motors damaged in this way. It is impossible to repair such damage. I always use a removal tool as it is just not worth risking hand pulling when replacement motors are not available on these vintage turntables. Another essential use of this removal tool is in adjusting the pulley. Connoisseur pulleys have to be aligned, often by very small amounts. Pushing the pulley too low, then too high, then too low again in an attempt to find the right place for perfect running at both 33 and 45 rpm can be difficult. Using this tool it is easy to accurately move the pulley by micro amounts to precisely tune your turntables drive system.Included with the tool is a short stainless steel tube which can be placed over the motor spindle where the spindle protrudes very high above the pulley. The tool then fits into this tube making it simple to keep both aligned until the spindle is driven flush with the pulley. The puller is supplied with important advice gained from many years of experience with these motors and pulleys.The puller is discounted when purchased together with a suspension kit, please see my other listings.

EARLY MOTOR SUSPENSION FOR SUGDEN CONNOISSEUR TURNTABLES Fits: ALL EARLY BD-1, BD-2-& BD2A. Cut Band Suspension for ALL EARLY BD1, BD2, BD2A. Motors. This is a very effective suspension that will fit all early motors regardless of the anti-reverse mechanisms position in your motor. This rubber is a soft natural rubber with the perfect properties and excellent resistance to oxidisation, meaning it will last. The quality and performance of suspensions made using this rubber are excellent because of the rubbers natural elasticity. I have a very limited amount of this special natural rubber with no way of obtaining further supply. Nevertheless, I am pleased to be able to offer this kit while I can for all early motors on Connoisseur BD1 & BD2 turntables. These kits are already in use by owners not able to use my web based Conversion kit. This suspension is a Cut Band Suspension, featuring an easy mounting system. It comes as an all hand-made kit which includes the following: Three natural rubber hand cut suspension bands.Six adjustable fixings for the cut bands.One williams-sonics Gold Glass drive belt matched to the cut band suspension.Three natural rubber counter tension bands (graduated in size).One natural rubber insert for your SAU2 bias weight with alignment tool.Instructions which are easy to follow and produce perfect results.I am available for support with fitting through eBay messages.The plastic suspension plate ( hanger plate) which holds the motor to the metal plinth that have a 30mm hole in the centre need no mod. The ones with 20mm diameter hole will need a small semicircle filling inside opposite the lugs, see drawing in second photo. Please note this is a hand made Cut Band Suspension not a web suspension and is designed for early motors only and will not fit later motors. For later motors see my Service kits. If you would prefer a web suspension for your early motor and your motor has its anti-reverse mechanism at its bottom see my Conversion Suspension kit. Contact me if you have any questions, I aim to provide a prompt response. It is coincidental in this period of crisis that the barriers being employed for health reasons are ones that I already use to protect myself in my workshop and have been using for the past three years. The materials I use have always been initially cleaned with isopropanol alcohol before and at various stages of my work with them. I wear a very effective industrial rubber face mask because I do not want to ingest fine rubber particles. Also I wear eye protection against any materials and machine parts that can fly towards my face. Now I wear nitrile gloves for all the processes including packing. All reseal-able plastic bags are wiped over with isopropanol. Kind regards, williams-sonics

TENSION BANDS The kit comes with quality hand-made rubber bands of the same material to counter the pull of the belt and keep the pulley level. I include a choice of four different sized bands to make it easy to find the correct tension for your belt. BIAS WEIGHT A small natural rubber insert for the bias weight is also part of the Conversion kit. This will keep the weight tight and stable on your SAU2 tonearms bias wand. This carefully designed little rubber insert can also make a big difference to your sound quality compared to a loose vibrating bias weight on your tonearm. PLATTER SPINDLE OIL PLUS PIPETTE.A vial of platter spindle oil which has proven to maintain the spindle bearing of these decks in original condition over many years. There is enough oil for many oil changes and it comes with a pipette for administering it accurately and cleanly. The Conversion Kit comes with an easy to follow fully illustrated fitting guide, online link sent after purchase. Only Genuine williams-sonics webs and kits are available through williams-sonics. Supplying worldwide to those who demand high fidelity and audiophile performancePlease be aware the upgrade is not reversible. Contact me if you have any questions, I aim to provide a prompt response. It is coincidental in this period of crisis that the barriers being employed for health reasons are ones that I already use to protect myself in my workshop and have been using for the past two years. The materials I use have always been initially cleaned with isopropanol alcohol before and at various stages of my work with them. I wear a very effective industrial rubber face mask because I do not want to ingest fine rubber particles. Also I wear eye protection against any materials and machine parts that can fly towards my face. Now I wear nitrile gloves for all the processes including packing. All reseal-able plastic bags are wiped over with isopropanol. Kind regards,williams-sonics

MOTOR PULLEY REMOVER Hand-crafted by Williams-Sonics, my Puller enables easy and safe removal of pulleys from Connoisseur BD1 and BD2 turntable motors. It will remove them quickly and safely even if they are seized on through being very tight on the motor spindle or from not being moved for many years. Removing the pulleys by hand is possible but there is the real risk that you will irrevocably damage the motors performance. The slightest bend to the spindle will take the motor out of true alignment and the effect will be heard. Unfortunately, I have encountered several motors damaged in this way. It is impossible to repair such damage. I always use a removal tool as it is just not worth risking hand pulling when replacement motors are not available on these vintage turntables. An equally important use of this removal tool is in adjusting the refitted pulley. Connoisseur pulleys have to be aligned, often by very small amounts. Again we are risking this vintage motor and pulley by pushing the pulley too low, then too high, then too low again in an attempt to find the right place for perfect running at both 33 and 45 rpm. This adjustment is made easy and enjoyable when it is simple to move the pulley by micro amounts using the Puller to precisely tune your turntables drive system. Included with the tool is a short stainless steel tube which can be placed over the motor spindle where the spindle protrudes very high above the pulley. The tool then fits into this tube making it simple to keep both aligned until the spindle is driven flush with the pulley. The puller is supplied with important advice gained from many years of experience with these motors and pulleys. Only Genuine williams-sonics webs and kits are available through williams-sonics.
