Long as I don't drunk stumble, I'll be okay.

And good luck with that.

Aye, 11.5% will do ya.

Eventually, it will DO ya.  That's why my stuff is drunk proof.

I got a funny (to me) story about a nose dive into a SOTA table of mine with Ben Folds Five playing.  Table was on four crossed cinder blocks on top of half tennis balls.  Barely flinched.  Too funny.  Friends won't let that one go.  To this day, one of my favorite records still.

Really though, you could sort that situation out with a trip to Goodwill. Your gear looks pretty congested on that table.

I am my own cleaning lady so I am at my utmost best behavior; you can invite me over to help flip records.

 

[Eee Pee]

I've got other tables. And other tables.

And records to flip. Burgers to flip too.

Interesting looking.  I wonder what I'm looking at.

Thanks.  I'd never seen a belt arrangement like that.

The theory is that two small motors generate less noise.  In practice, the patter comes up to speed relatively quickly with no assist required. The electronic controller holds the speed dead on as measured with KAB, with no variation due to stylus load.  Of course the 44lb platter helps.

 

[bbophead]

That's certainly one way to do it.  Congratulations!

I've got acres of land, I've got man at command

... ( "somewhere from Pentagle albums - LPs, of course ).
 
Well, this just about does occupy one of the biggest footprints in TT (acres of) land. A hint - do not get frugal with HEIGHT of the planned dustcover - please allow some 15 cm or so clearance above the LP level. One never knows what NEXT arm or clamp might require

...
 
Congrats. I am curious how does the Carnegie One like Morch DP-8 vs ET2 ? I am familiar with Morch DP-6, DP-8 should be a considerable upgrade.
