Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Thank the baby Jesus!

Hey Jean, You were going to tell us about some new ways to reduce resonances in the stock chassis. What's up with that? Also, how are you doing with Peter's PTP?
Since there's no activity over here, I may as well direct you to an interesting project involving a stripped-down Lenco idler drive and platter, being coupled via an idler wheel to a second, passive platter on which records are played.

The only physical connection between the two platters are via the idler wheel, and the long-way-round via the shelves on which the mechanisms are mounted, and the wall on which the shelves are mounted.

Go over to Lenco Heaven (maybe that's where everyone has gone, anyway) and take a look:

Thanks for the link to Lenco heaven. (Humm...Gram would be in heaven!)
Interesting tables, utilizing one wheel to spin 2 platters.
