This wheel has been reconditioned by being soaked for 7 days in DOT 3 brake fluid to reconstitute the rubber. The edges on the wheel are relatively free of pitting. The rubber is soft and pliable. I did not get to test the wheel because the motor went bad shortly after I reinstalled it after treatment.
I acquired a nice Lab 80 Mk2 with every intention of bringing it back to life through cleaning and oiling the mechanism. Unfortunately, after some tinkering the motor went up in smoke. So, I am selling some of its parts off in hopes that they will be useful to Garrard fans with more technical abilities than myself.
