did some more to it.
i noticed something was going 'off' with it, and after much headscratching found that the azimuth was off. turns out that the rubber section of the mayware counterweight wasn't gripping so the weight had slowly slipped downward overnight and cocked up the azimuth.
it wants replacing really, its a little perished so ill have to find something as a replacement to do the job.
so i took the mayware off for now and put the audiomods that was on Paul's 301 on it.

while i was at it i stripped it down and resanded and polished the plinth with teak oil, redrilled the arm board to take the audiomods mounting collar, and replaced the pads on the platter with new silicone ones. these are simply adhesive discs, and these were meant to be pump seals. but are the same size and thickness as the original blown sorbothane pads.

the left hand one is the original which is completely perished on the top. the top middle one is what the underside looks like, not perished but getting the remains of the adhesive off was not possible. couldnt just turn them over unfortunately, and the right hand one is a new silicone rubber one.
much better. the new ones actually grip the record. and look better. and it sounds better too.

now the audiomods arm is on it its blummuin lovely got keith jarrett on now doing his usual weebing and deebing, ohing ahhing and all the other noises he seems to make while playing. can hear them clear as day and its giving me a smile. highlights how bloody good ecm pressings are too.

Re: JBE Series III
Bloody phono stage cut out again..... But at least this time I got a look at it before it cut back in and the light was off. Which rather suggests the fault is in the power supply section.
Gives me a place to start from
