DIY TT

Have you ever given LENCO TTs a thought?

…

Yeah - there was a fellow in SF that has an older one in 240v, but that went a bit cold. I might reach out again, as if I just do the Eclipse/roadrunner on the Sota I could run it while the Sota is belly up.
 

@holmz The link might bring a few hours of interest with a cup of coffee in hand.

Best Coffee and not whiskey, as the latter does have a habit of making big decisions very easy, on a more than wanted frequency.

PM me if you would like a further description about the link.

I decided ti just order a hot rod kit to bring the old SOTA up to spec.

Look forward to your update, following the addition of the kit.

@pindac @vinylzone et. al.,

I got the arm board drilled, and the sub chassis springs in.
Will work on the motor and controller, and wiring next.

I found that the bearing is shot in the SOTA.

But it make not obvious noise, so I’ll get the arm set up while emailing back-n-forth with SOTA.

Where does one get a DIY platter and bearing?
I am thinking I have the old motor and its power supply and the old arm.
I could just chuck it all onto a plinth of some sort (maybe a panderholz board) and then if I. had a platter/bearing assembly, I could have a second TT for use in the shed?
