I recently completed the restoration of the vintage Well Tempered Classic turntable. A piece of audio equipment I lusted for (but could not afford) in my youth. This restoration included: • Structural repair and refinishing of plinth • Eliminating a hum in arm • Upgrading to Cardas Clips • Changing of Fluids • Motor disassembled, cleaned and lubricated • New feet • New belt • Calibration ![Well Tempered Classic](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/3/5/3582b784f1435b6734ff523c9377433ca48a3672.jpeg) ![Well Tempered on Platform](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/2/5/25d1a81d982aa11125b73a9627b5904e4b56f2e4.jpeg) ![Hana ML](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/0/f/0fe2b69aaa2b6bb93ef3e47a9905f14baf822d5f.jpeg) ![5a11c3c59e615661c4b007bf256d3198fc6d32f7_2_1332x1000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/9/c/9c8c8ec3d586e58fbe0d7e10ac84cef8ba4ec95d.jpeg) ---

Also use Isoacoustic feet in place of the stockers. Rega Aphelion2 cart. Rega Aura phono stage. I can honestly state this doesn’t require any upgrading. Very pleased with the sound and ease of use. ---

Since I posted my system recently I might as well give a better shot of the turntable … ![IMG_5795](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/7/4/744ad487e21cdd93f35ed7470a82286200e2b449.jpeg) It’s an original VPI Airies Extended. I got it second hand about 20 years ago. It came with the translucent platter of the Mk II, the original (desirable) platter long gone. Upgraded to the all aluminum platter recently. The arm is the 12.5. I upgraded the tonearm base to an early version for the 12.7 which VPI thought a better investment than the 12.7 arm at the time. The feet are Isoacoustics, I had the original cone feet, then got the mini TNT feet, but really like the Isoacoustics. It’s all sitting on a 3” thick butcher block, 18” x 24”. I also have a single motor flywheel but need a larger platform so not using at the moment since I need to keep the table higher than my one cat can jump, at least so far … Here’s the SDS and the Stellar phono. ![IMG_5797](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/4/e/4e9932cd74f15f92bd89a7a5ad541523d167d1f4.jpeg) ---
