Beogram 1203 motor restoration, missing piece

3 replies
hey all, I'm restoring a Beogram 1203 my dad gave me for christmas. It had a bunch of different issues, but mainly the motor was running too slow. After a re-lube and some cleaning it's now at almost perfect speed. However, during assembly i must have forgot a piece, because the motor is making a constant noise, and i found this on my table after reassembling it. Does anyone know where this rubber ring is this supposed to go?
I think is was situated on the axle  between the pulley and the engine, or inside the engine also on the axle between lower bearing and anchor. Not essential.
It's an oil stop. It prevents oil from the bearing creeping up the spindle to the pulley. Martin
