I’m in to vintage audio. Part of that means vinyl records.
I’ve got a couple retail quality turntables, but I’d like to try building one myself.
It seems the tone arm is the biggest challenge as it needs to be weighted and balanced properly. “Professional” ones can run in the tens of thousands. Not sure who would pay that, but someone must or they would be out of business.
Has anyone here attempted such a project and if so, a few pointers woukd be appreciated.
