Right then, so, its time for - a new project And yes, its another TT, but this one is going to be a killer. A Lenco L75 platter & main bearing, but this time, HOPEFULLY belt driven from a Project 16v 300rpm motor. The sub rim on the platter (a masssive 5kg !) is just about 300mm diameter, so the pulley on the Project motor should, with luck, be close enough for the right speeds. If not I can either pad out the pulley or the sub rim.
My only concern is the torque on the motor - will it be man enough to drive it ? We'll see.
It's great having the right tools, the bandsaw, pillar drill and a decent set of heavy duty large diameter hole borers has meant I've only spent about 40 minutes so far just creating a temp plinth from 12mm MDF.
