Building a turntable...
Hi.
I rescued a Revolver turntable that someone had thrown in a bin, its got a Linn Basik LV-S arm fitted, but no cart... I'm planning a rebuild using the arm, bearing and motor. It should be straight forward as the only thing I'm doing really is building a new plinth. I'm going to have the motor external though, mounted in its own cylinder so as to try and reduce vibration. Heres the Revolver before :

BB, why rebuild it?
if the plinth is in good condition, leave it alone. One of the few plinths that actually worked. Dirt simple...but perhaps a little ugly.
The arm is nothing special, but a reasonable performer, given it's price point (often included with the purchase or the original Revolver Rebel tables). If the bearing and motor are in god or serviceable condition, a definite score.
