Homebrew Turntable and Tonearm

Very cool design. With the resurgence of vinyl record albums, getting a good turntable is an imperative. There are a lot of cheap bad options, there are a lot of good options with stratospheric pricing. Making your own is the third option. Here is Charles Altmann with his own design. The platter bearing? An intake-valve from a Harley Davidson Shovelhead Engine with valve guide. Turntable. Tone Arm.
