Is there anyone that makes a DIY turntable? There are some beautiful turntables with wood bases and even wood platters. Are there any DIY kits for turntables? Seems like there would be some available.

If any of you know of some kits you'd like to recommend (and aren't affiliated with the kit makers), please list them here.

Brian Cherry has a killer looking TT kit that has caught the attention of Doc Bottlehead. Around $700, I think with RB-250 but not quite ready for "prime time".
Meanwhile, I scored this Marantz 6100 from "Grumpy" @ AudioKarma:

Not "high-end" but aesthetics to spare.......

A whole new hobby interest: turntable mods and scratch
builds at this site.


This info comes from over at the Vinyl Asylum at AA.
They are into this stuff.

Great link, thanks!

I especially liked the Goldman Vacuum Reference.
