Possibly my biggest project yet - a Yamaha GT-2000 turntable

Flip it over, drill holes and fit the motor.

Flip back over, connect everything up, solder on the mains lead and tidy it all up nicely.

Time for some refreshment...

Then the phone goes and Mrs. B is on her way home from work, so time to stop and get the dinner on.

To be continued!

Well, I am delighted to see this thread progressing - have been looking forward to this for ages! Good on you, Adam! I think you've done an amazing job. Looking forward to hearing your assessment of the Yamaha and how it stacks up against the TX-1000, PS-X9 and your 301 (and possibly many more).
All power to your elbow!

Paul.

Right, then, where were we?

OK, drop the platter on, mark and drill holes and fit the speed indicator unit

Arm goes on...

And then the arm lead clamp - the original was broken, but a work colleague very kindly scanned the remains of it and re-modelled it from pictures, then 3D printed a new one.

Flip the thing over (it's getting heavier now!) and fit base and feet.

**Beobloke** · 10-09-2018, 21:39

Then the most important bit!

All coming along well. Looks good.
