Re: Hacker Centurion MK11 (GA500A)
All sorted.
Just the deck needs a bit of a service.
Looks like it hasn't seen any use in decades and probably hasn't had a lot even then, as the stylus in the Goldring G850 cartridge looks like it's probably the original and seems to be good (still got its protector on it), which isn't always the case.
Speaker interconnecting leads are missing, so replacements need to be made up - the speaker cabinets have inset din plugs, so leads need to have a female flying socket on the speaker end and obviously a standard male plug on the unit end. I've got to see if I've got any kicking around, otherwise I'll have to send off for a couple. Speakers measure expected continuity, but obviously haven't yet been tested for sound. Unit itself was tested with speakers from another unit (Ferguson) that accompanied this one, just for the sake of convenience.
Yes, the top black trim which looked like part of the motor board is just a cosmetic trim with, as you say, the motor board proper held down with the six screws below. Velcro pads on the four corners.
