Homemade Turntable

Homemade turntable for vinyl discs

I wanted to show them a turntable or turntable, as they want to call it, done by me in its entirety, and after much work I can say that the result exceeded my expectations.

Vinyl

Placement of the pulley that will pull the plate. I used the pulley of a washing machine, I cut the part of the center and screwed the same to the plate, previously having marked with a compass the centered circumference.
The motor was extracted from a cassette player, has 4 pins, in two of which a potentiometer is connected to regulate the speed.
The strap, not getting the measure I needed, I cut a motorcycle camera and it was more than good.

Made of wood for the cartridge
