Its not that the 64s is more bass heavy than the FX, it's just that the FX is very light weight and more nervous throughout the range; its - to me- far too 'screechy' and handles transients badly. Having said that I must say that I only ever used it on a well set-up Thorens 124 - and that with decent MC cartridges incl. an FR 701. But the V15s are far more forgiving. I am not surprised that you like the SME....within a few limitations it is a good arm with V15.
You have a couple of very good decks there!!!

First time I've had chance to look at this over the last few days, thanks everyone for the suggestions, I've put a probe on point 'S' with the probe ground on 'O' and I cannot get a waveform, I then put it on point 'T' this seems to display the correct waveform however the time isn't correct on this and will not adjust down far enough.
Yes, but I don't know what. As we have all said many times now, you need the waveform shown, until you get that there is nothing more I can do. What you are showing, is as if your scope is showing nothing at all, there is no waveform as it should be, no signal, nothing at all ? It would not be rotating if that was the case.
Right I think I've got it? Different from last night, first is point S on channel one, yellow trace, second on point T blue trace, these were with the probes on one at a time, third pic when both probes connected again yellow on S and blue on T.

tear-down starts...
Progress..(well, a little).
So the tear-down of the better looking SP10 MKII started well. Apart from looking like small animals have nested in the case (not really!) and a couple of bottom cover screws and couple of pcb screw heads giving way necessitating using a micro-screw extractor (which worked fine btw), looks very much un-touched since new.
Date of the motor is 7th Nov 1980.
Attached is some of the tear-down pics i'll later use for re-assembly/reference.
This is the less-corroded one of the two. Cosmetically, it should be pretty straightforward to sort. Not decided yet but likely to get it bead-blasted back to bare aluminium and either polished and clear-coated again or go down the powder-coat/paint route. I have some experience/contacts with classic bike parts and getting them re-painted so should stand me in good stead when it comes to it.
