Some Sourced Parts and Planning

So, I was able to score a sweet Sherwood turntable that a smashed stylus for $4.99 at goodwill! It has nice spring loaded feet, is direct drive, has the dust cover and slip mat etc.



Also, I scored a small Ikea style nightstand that will fit everything perfectly. (It's the one Jeff is sitting on in the picture below)

We took apart the turntable and isolated the motor, synchro lights, power transformer and platter. This is all working and usable but the torque on this motor is just too low. Even with some pressure from the cleaning brush, we can stop the motor from spinning all together.



After some research it looks like we can get into a very fitting motor out of a bread machine that will have the proper RPMs as well as much more torque to spin the platter.

Another piece to source from the thrift stores!! One of my favorite things to do ever
