MOTOR SUSPENSION WEB AND GOLD CLASS DRIVE BELT SERVICE KIT FOR SUGDEN CONNOISSEUR TURNTABLES Fits: BD1, BD2 & BD2A, WITH LATER MOTORS. This suspension web kit fits all BD1, BD2 and BD2A decks with the later motors which use the 3 leg nylon clip shown below (these clips are not included in the Kit). For early turntable motors please see my other Kits. This Service Kit includes: - One New Natural Rubber Suspension Web. - One New Gold Class Neoprene Rubber Drive Belt. - Four New Natural Rubber sized Motor Counter Tension Bands.- One New Natural Rubber Insert for the Bias Weight.- One Vial of Platter Spindle Oil with Pipette. - Comprehensive Downloadable Fitting Guide. - Contactable for advice on fitting of the Service Kit.The new motor suspension web (or spider as it is sometimes called) is made of highest quality natural new rubber which gives excellent performance. All parts of the Service kit are individually hand-made by myself on receipt of order, then fitted and rigorously tested for performance before shipping to you. This is a Hand-made MATCHED Service Kit designed to work together for Superb Performance. SUSPENSION WEBThe Suspension Web achieves: 1. Superior Performance to any other method of suspending your motor. 2. Natural New Rubber selected for its elasticity and ability to be extremely long lasting. 3. Excellent isolation of the motor, preventing its vibrations from reaching the platter and tonearm. GOLD CLASS DRIVE BELT Williams-Sonics Gold Class Neoprene drive belt is designed and matched with the web to give superb performance.MOTOR TENSION BANDS This essential replacement Service Kit comes with quality hand-made natural rubber bands of the same material to counter the pull of the belt and keep the pulley level. You might only need one but I include a choice of four different sized bands to make it easy to find the correct counter tension for the belt on your model. BIAS WEIGHT RUBBER INSERT As stated above a small natural rubber insert for the bias weight is also part of the SERVICE KIT. This will keep the weight tight and stable on your SAU2 tonearms bias wand. This carefully designed little rubber insert can also make a big difference to your sound quality compared to a loose vibrating bias weight on your tonearm.PLATTER SPINDLE OIL PLUS PIPETTE.A vial of platter spindle oil which has proven to maintain the spindle bearing of these decks in original condition over many years. There is enough oil for many oil changes and it comes with a pipette for administering it accurately and cleanly. FITTING GUIDE An easy to follow fully illustrated online fitting guide comes with each kit. I am also contactable through eBay messages as stated above for support and advice on fitting. Only Genuine williams-sonics webs and kits are available through williams-sonics. Supplying worldwide to those who demand high fidelity and audiophile performance for their vinyl listening. Contact me if you have any questions, I aim to provide a prompt response. It is coincidental in this period of crisis that the barriers being employed for health reasons are ones that I already use to protect myself in my workshop and have been using for the past two years. The materials I use have always been initially cleaned with isopropanol alcohol before and at various stages of my work with them. I wear a very effective industrial rubber face mask because I do not want to ingest fine rubber particles. Also I wear eye protection against any materials and machine parts that can fly towards my face. Now I wear nitrile gloves for all the processes including packing. All reseal-able plastic bags are wiped over with isopropanol. Kind regards,williams-sonics

Connoisseur Sugden SAU-2 Tonearm In Fair Condition. It’s a beautiful arm that I had wanted to install but I don’t have the time. Problems are: - no cable. 5 pin din cable required - the arm lift has had a small crack but it seems to have been glued back - the arm collar screw feels in tight and I can’t undo it. Someone else may have better luck From Vinylengine: The SAU2 is a bit like a classic car : you wouldnt expect it to out-perform todays models, but its great fun to use anyway! Starting at the sharp end, the plastic headshell simply isnt a good design. Its a slide-on friction-fit to the tonearm, and mine was quite loose, cured for now by wrapping a bit of scotch tape round the tonearm shaft but thats hardly a permanent solution. Within the body of the headshell theres a slide-out plug which takes the cartridge leads on pins at one end and plugs into the tonearm at the other. The space enclosing it is so constricted that normal cartridge leads are squashed together and short out. The plug looks eminently meltable so I ruled out soldering leads directly to the pins. I had to source some ultra-thin cartridge clips and make a piece of plastic shielding to fit between them. The slot-holes taking the cartridge mount bolts arent very long, hence not much room for adjustment, and I found it impossible to get a good alignment with some cartridges. At the other end, theres no counterweight calibration dial for the tracking force so it has to be set with a guage or digital scale. The distinctly odd 45-degree offset gimbal arrangement is commendably friction-free and seems to work OK : the trick to getting the headshell to stay horizontal while on the record is to point the outer gimbal at the centre of the playing surface where the needle sets down, and then set the tonearm height so as to be exactly horizontal in the playing position. It does look distinctly strange to see it tilt when you lift it off, though. The anti-skate seems to function as it should, its never an exact science anyway. The base of the tonearm shaft takes a 5-pin male plug which isnt easy to find. I eventually got a suitable Cardas model from e-bay and made up a tonearm lead. Get an SAU2 with a lead if you can! Despite its odd features the SAU2 actually works quite well. I put it through some basic tracks on test records and whilst it didnt excel, it didnt disgrace itself either. Probably a near-match for the Pioneer PL12D tonearm as a reference point. For the music I listen to on a day-to-day basis (fairly mainstream pop/rock/blues/prog/folk from the 60s and 70s) its absolutely fine : I suspect its limitations would become apparent with more demanding classical orchestral music and such-like. It has some character and a nice 50s/60s vintage vibe about it, and Im enjoying using it with an AT91 on a Connoisseur BD1 turntable.

Purchased in the 1970s Switches on ok and turntable spins but is very noisy. 2 speed, 33 & 45 rpm. Shure M75 type 2 cartridge & stylus included (stylus is separate and the protective sponge is disintegrating). SAU 2 pick up arm. Groov-Kleen cleaner. Stylus pressure gadget. The plinth cover is in good condition. Needs a 3 pin plug I would prefer collection from CM11 postcode. Will post but please bear in mind I do not have the transport screws. Any questions, please ask.
