i scooped this thing up on ebay quite a while back and when i got it i didnt know what to make of it so it got tossed to the back of my cabinet and forgotten about until recently i saw the newer German Evolutions and thought 'hey i got one of those!' haha
not real sure who i got it from or exactly what i paid but i remember it was next to nothing.
i have no idea what possessed someone to put this thing together as it is but behold! (may want to put on some sunglasses cause this thing is blingy)

i was hoping that someone could help ID this thing and maybe tell me what type of motor is in it and whether its worth messing with or not. it seems to run good on 2.5 to 3volts. however i am missing one of the slider pins as theres supposed to be one on either side (see fourth pic) and the plastic screw that locks the needle into the slider/sled whatever they call them these days. i was planning on trying to do away with the cheesy bling and motor can and make a flat top that would come off the top where the two flathead screws are and have an rca jack upward facing and wrapping the motor in a coil wrap ( i think someone on here was talking about doing this) but the diamond band seems to be glued on. .. any thoughts? also, is it supposed to be packed full of grease (again, fourth pic) because that hardly seems safe for the client under the needle. maybe clean all of it off and add a drop of superlube?
