Halcro,
My TT is a labor of love. I designed, machined, & built it myself over a couple year period.
Sorry, no current pictures on-line chakster.

- The platter is 4" thick solid 6061 aluminum (powder coated) with a 1/4 inch of delrin bolted directly on top.
- The plinth is 2" thick, also 6061 but dampened with soundcoat material from parts connexion.
- The bearing is a little complicated and I’m not going to get into specifics, but the thrust portion & the sidewall portion are separated. Both are attached to the platter with as little interface as safely possible. It is made of aluminum with a very thin hard coat material in the "wear" sections. It is absolutely smooth without noise or "vibrations".
- Tonearm tower (or pod) is made of aluminum, brass, ceramic, & delrin. I have it set up in a tripod manner for rigidity.
- Flywheel is also powder coated 6061 aluminum as is the motor cover. The motor itself is a Hurst.
- The record clamp is delrin, anodized aluminum, & acrylic stuffed with quartz powder.
- I purchased the tonearm from ViRa (12" version)
