@mijostyn ....hardly a new habit indulged by me... ;)
If Springsteen was born to run, I must have been born to wander...*G*

Transcription table....I’ve got some old 16" dia. discs bought @ a Habitat auction, ’just because’... *S* @mijostyn , 👍, great DIY hack, but I’d treat the center hole after counter-boring as well..... ...and the ’lazy’ daemon on my shoulder *yawns* and sez "eBay....40$ + customs v. all that f’n ’round...🤨." @kingsleuy ...sharp eyes, guy....;) *G* But 1.5 mil is 'thin'...*whew* |
@mijostyn ...+33 1/3... ;) A bit less 'tool-intensive' for Plan B...since I've been over-exposed to 'tool newbies' (that claimed they weren't...😣..."Screw won't go in....*switch cordless driver to drive*....oh...."), I don't assume anything anymore.... Routers are an acquired taste 'n talent that bite and hard to those unclued....plunge cuts into curves needing to start 'n go anti-clockwise Firmly....and ready for the last angry inch....*L* It was interesting getting some back-story on broadcast/transcription discs and tables when I bid on those won....used well into the '60s', the discs themselves being very touchy to clean/restore...commercials, music and shows you've never heard of.... I assume the time period for the demise of the format gave rise to the availability of the tables, and why many were still in decent shape. Unless they got tossed into dumpsters, more likely the fate of the times. One thought, tho'....contact cement is very permanent very fast, an option from art/craft shops is 3M repositionable spray both cork and platter. Mask the spindle as well as just the edge of the platter; use scissors to cut off the bulk of the cork 'drops', leaving an inch or less to trim....*S* ....I 'do the fiddley bits' a lot, revamping the innocent driver into a Walsh mutant. "I can fix anything but broken hearts....that's because friends don't want me about them with anything sharp...." ;) 😏 |
@noromance , a whirl’d of possibilities.... Miserable pun...and the Wayfair mat would make VTA a ’perhaps’ challenge.... "I don't think I've ever seen a tonearm play 'uphill' like that....." 😟 |
@mijostyn ...*L*...and I think we’re wandering rather deep into the weeds over a project that isn’t ours.... ;) Personally, I’ve been ’blue skying’ with this little thang, just released from PE/Dayton.... Basically meant for ’sound bars’ and the like, I’m intrigued.... I’ve always been drawn to small objects that whisper ’potentials’....;) (...just ’bent’ that way....*L* ) |
