Teres update

OK. Heres where I'm at now:

Chris is sending the motor, bearing and platter today.

I have the arm.

I have the wood.

I bought batteries for my digital camera.

I set up a page to post pics.

I got rid of the family members whom I thought would never leave after Turkey day.

Monday is the target start day. First up is a model built out of 2x4s. I'll post the link to the picture page when I get the first ones up. I am going to try and document the process in detail.

Let the games begin!

Joe

P.S. Tom & Doug: Get ready for lots of questions!

Dear Jphii, I would like to help and maybe pick up a few tips from the rest of the members. I built my Teres turntable from my own design [ a take off of the Clearaudio Master Reference] and used a Teres platter, bearing and motor. I built the turntable into a restored 1920's RCA Victrola cabinet that I restored as well. The base is three layers , granite, acrylic and another layer of acrylic all built by local manufacturers in Buffalo. I use a Clearaudio TQ-1 tonearm and Sigma cartridge. I designed and built each part I could and tried all different materials. If you would like help let me know and if you would not mind I would like to post some photos to show as an example. I think many of the members will help both of us tweak these turntable to a level neither of us could do alone. Good Luck, it is well worth the effort. Dredster
