The above paper is from a July 1967 copy of
a magazine called Component Technology,
which was the in-house
technical publication of the Plessey group.
Service Department Bulletin From Plessey-Garrard 1975
*
Interesting tips & fixes memo from the Service department.
Confirmation that lower motor bearing can be lubed in place, without
complete disassembly. Valuable motor-shaft realignment and motor
spindown-time information. Perhaps the first official siting of the
Inline Lightbulb voltage-pad trick, and (very) unusual advice regarding
the greasebearing.
Worthwhile to note that by 1975 the 301 was
long gone, and Plessey-acquisition Garrard would discontinue the 401 by
the next year. So the 301 assistance here was being offered as last
resort support. It does come across as a compilation of all the
accumulated fixes known to be simple enough for the intrepid Lp
Enthusiast to navigate.
