3G_ Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Not much progress. I have managed to source some SS coupling nuts soi can get rid of the horuble zinc ones in the last picture (on the VTA adjuster). With the help of a member on diyaudio i am getting a pcb made up to build the phono stage. The HPS 5.1 is thedesign, should be a challenge to build. Waiting on another piece of slate for the motor housing, and also some isolation cones to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3G_ Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Been a bit more progress. The speed control board is now made, i will be able to adjust frequency for the AC synchronous motor. The motor pod has had the centre cut out of it, what a PITA that was. It is polished but i missed the edges as it was getting dark. Need to finalised parts for speed control and phonostage, then get off by backside and order them. Edited August 5, 2010 by 3G_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3G_ Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Some more quick pics, sorry for the poor quality pics. Those edges sure look rough, another cold wet arvo polishing ahead of me! Edited August 5, 2010 by 3G_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Looking magnificent, may even be worth a trip to the city of churches for your GTG. Luv the see through platter. Dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3G_ Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 AAAAAARRRRRRR. Spent the day working of the speed control. Really happy with it. Having never set up a TT i spent a few hours checking and double checking how to set it up. I was about to turn it on for the first time to see how it tracks and then in a act of stupidity i brushed the tonearm with my handand snapped the tip off my new DL 103R.

ngquan Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Gee mate, sorry to hear that and seen it happened many times. Got a back-up cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3G_ Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 No back up cart. I still havent built the phono stage so no hurry. I wonder if retipping is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspert Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Ouch! Welcome to viny playback. Get that out of the way early and it should be on the up from here. Don't junk it as retipped Denon 103R is worthwhile. Soundsmith, Expert Stylus or Garrotts Bros. Edited September 19, 2010 by jaspert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
