Got the idea from the acoustic solid range of wood tables MPX especially

Using Michell gyrodec main bearing platter and DC motor - RB250 arm polished with AO complete silver rewire and weight upgrade

I have tried to decouple the armboard and arm with O rings and sorbathane foam stuff

Hi Ali thanks :-)

I have not fired it up yet scared to just in-case it sounds bad lol - I do need to sand and re varnish it before hand anyway - but its my first DIY build of any kind since school (I'm 39 now lol)

getting there - motor stand done - now need to build and isolation platform

So far though to my ears it sounds very nice - if anyone in the Essex area or further if they want to travel would like to cast an educated opinion that would be great
