Hey Mark, when trying to back fill ply that's peeling, dampen the wood with water or Isopropyl Alcohol. It helps the glue wick into the gap better.

Hi Mark, a lovely, interesting video as usual. I starting working for ITT/KB as a Sales Rep during the late 1970s, but I don't recall this particular model. BTW, KB stands for Kolster Brandes which was, I think, the German electronics company which bought out KB. The first model of record player I recall, was the KA1026 which probably replaced the KP036. Happy days.

In anticipation of the next segment, I once 'serviced' my parent's hi-fi turntable when the the grease turned to glue. The device dated back to the early 60s. I had all the parts laid out on newspapers in the lounge room. Cleaned it all up, added new grease, and magically put all the bits back in. It was a "don't tell Dad" experience.

Great job Mark. You have to love the good ol' BSR mechanism. Very simple, very effective, cheap to manufacture, and brought many enjoyment into peoples lives. These old timers are a delight, and while they are probably not worth a lot of money, there is something about them that to me shouts 'Genius'. While they were made to a price point, you still have to love the quality when there is so little involved. Marvelous stuff.

Little tip next time you are taking rexine off lift a corner with a knife and get a small paint brush and some ipa and run it under the rexine, it will soften the glue enough to pull it off, you just need to keep going with the ipa as you go along.
