Nude Turntable Project
Halcro, sorry to disappoint you with the non-nudity. :) The Technics SL-1200mk2 motor's stator is directly soldered to the circuit board so it's almost impossible to separate the motor independent from electronics. The SL1200 is, to me, a rather ...

I guess this souped up Technics SL-1200Mk2 also qualifies as a "nude" project: http://www.inspirehifi.co.uk/inspirehifi/monarch_info_photos_price.html Hi-Fi World review of the Inspire Monarch direct drive turntable. Page 1Page 2Page 3 Some more ... 
Clearaudio Master Innovation Assembly pics
Thanks for the pictures, Rockitman. Very nice! Looks like the Master Innovation is made of two turntables stacked on top of each other, which makes it easier to manufacture from existing parts. The lower table resembles the Innovation with magnets...

Lewm: " Where the heck did you get these nice photos?"All photos came from the Amp8.com website. You'll see more pix if you click on any of the links I posted earlier that says "SP−10MKⅢ". They are all hi-rez images so it will take a long time to ...

Lewm: "When I look at the two photos, I do not see where the chassis can be separated from the stators of the motor."I don't own a Mk3 so all I can go by are the photos and judging by the pictures I don't see the motor as that much different from ...

Lewm: "I looked at a few of the URLs you provided and don't yet see how the Mk3 motor can be parted from the company of its chassis, but perhaps the info is there somewhere."Here are couple pictures showing the SP10Mk3 motor wires can be detached ...

Lewm: " I don't quite know how Steve managed to separate motor from chassis; it's not obvious from external inspection how that could be achieved without some cutting."Here are many innards pictures of the Technics SP-10MK3 from Amp8.com. Just cli...

Lewm: "Where are the electronics? Show us what is at the other end of those wires coming off the bottom of the motor. Thx."Here's a picture of the DP80 from bottom view of the gut. As shown, the motor has only three wires with a three-pin connecto...

Rauliruegas: "What do you mean with "take the motor out" when the motor is integral part of the bearing/platter?"I meant to take the bare motor out and route/extend the wires back to the electronics. It's a deconstructive or purist way of doing it... 
Nude Turntable Project
Aigenga, I think that's a better idea than the typical "nude" approach by putting footers underneath the bottom cover. Glad you got good result from that. I always maintain there's really no true "nude" turntable in a direct drive system because t... 
Clearaudio " Innovation" - What?
Chris Brady of Teres Audio responded in a forum thread about "magnetic drive" of the type by Clearaudio, EAR, or Transrotor, etc..., here's what he had to say: "Magnetic drive is a more ambiguous term. Every electric motor in existence is has magn...
