SPARE PART only, not the complete turntable!
HISTORY:
In our audio post production business "many moons ago" we used many different types of turntables, from the venerable Technics SP10's, Planar, LP12's, Dual's of various kinds and so many more. I had a personal interest in turntables as well and tended to collect just about any turntable that looked interesting - although in the budget category, this turntable has an interesting feature ...
Multi-play (repeat) function although I never used this, generally you listen to a piece of vinyl once and move on but if ever you wanted to, you could set this turntable to play the vinyl twice, thrice or even for all eternity over and over and over!
I was recently using this turntable, it ran fine EXCEPT I did look into a significant problem it had, it would not turn OFF when the tonearm was at rest! Feeling rested after my holiday, I took a good look at what was going on ... I discovered it had a mechanical issue with the cam and actuating lever and after thinking about it, I decided this turntable was going to go up on the workbench for "the operation" - Yes, it has become an organ donor so that another Q310 can live again!
Yes, there will be more Q310 spare parts being advertised ... look HERE to see them all
AKAI (Japan) - Record Turntable

SPARE PART THAT IS BEING OFFERED: Acoustic Isolation Base Feet (Set Of Four)
AKAI Part Number: Rubber Feet (part number is not identified in the Service Manual)
Colour: Black
All Rubber construction
Friction fit into the base panel holes, no screws needed
CLEAN
Rubber is in very good condition, no splitting, perishing nor 'sagging'
SOME DIMENSIONS: this info could be useful if adapting these feet for use with another turntable
Base of the foot measures 25.25mm diameter and is 'cup' shaped, the 4mm diameter central shaft measures 26.7mm height. Near the top of the cup, the shaft has a 'recess' and it is here that the baseboard of the turntable sits. This recess measures 4.25mm wide x 6.5mm diameter, this means the baseboard must not be more than 4.25mm thickness and the hole in the baseboard must not exceed 6.2mm diameter, otherwise this foot will not fit correctly.
These rubber feet are now packed into a sealed clear plastic packet, waiting to make another turntable less prone to acoustic feedback through the plinth/base of a turntable.
