Hi. I believe that Parts Express on the web has a few kits that might be right for you.

I constructed a det of boomboxes last September for my niece who pleaded that I do one for her and getting the materials from Parts Express was one of the best decisions that I made. I highly recommend them.

I haven't heard a piece like that so far, but it sounds like something you'd encounter in mystery movies. Playing sounds backward may have you finding some hidden messages that can serve as entertainment. You could even end up getting ideas from it.
The thing is that some of them actually sounded cool. I can remember even playing some songs backwards some time ago just to have a feeling of how it felt when it was a thing many years ago. It can be quite entertaining when you pick the right songs for the experiment.

I have heard about a couple of speciality stores and online sites whose work is selling parts that can assist in restoring vintage audio equipment such as turntables.

I would have recommended stores such as Lowe's, but last I checked, they deal mainly in general hardware and electronics like wires.

Turntable Medic is one that I believe can be of help as they specialise in sourcing parts and repairing vintage turntables, changers, and console stereos.

Ebay is another online marketplace that you can check out, but you need to do a specific search for the vintage turntable part/model that you are looking for.

If you are not too confident to buy online, you should use the Google Map to search for "vintage audio repairs close by" and hopefully the map can pop up with some choices of physical stores that you should look at to see if they have the parts that you need.

The best decision for anyone who cares to listen is to visit a physical store. You are able to make choices on the material that you need to revive your vintage turntable. Also, talking with the salesperson can go a long way since they have an idea of which brand will fit into what anyone wants to do.
