Came across this while researching the properties of Delrin.
In the mid-1960s, phonograph turntable manufacturer Garrard used Delrin in applications where its stability, low friction and resistance to commonly-encountered lubricants were of advantage. Garrard advertising of the era specifically mentioned the low-friction characteristics of Delrin.
What parts might they be referring to ?
Garrard and Delrin.

Platter thrust bearing. From memory, my 301 thrust cage was a pressed metal assembly with what looked like a phosphor disc resting on white plastic that could well have been Delrin. Certainly wasn't PTFE.

Hi Morgan, great to see you posting, hope you are well..
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Unfortunately I didn't make it morgan, my mate was late booking and was unable to get a table, I had another offer to share someone's table a couple of days before, but by that time I had committed to attending my granddaughters birthday party.
Happy retirement.. its great !
