Can I use some industry motor to build my turntable?

Of course you can. Everything else should become i little bit difficult.

What motor speed do I need?

The platter needs to totate at 33 1/3 rpm. use a motor pulley of the right diameter to achieve that speed, or, use a motor with adjustable speed control.

Hi,

i built my tt myself (Holger posted a link to my gallery of other diy tts above), you can read about the details on www.krishu.de > hifi > turntable

i built an unipivot tonearm wich performs at least significantly better than a Rega arm. I tried several approaches of motors and controls, ended up with a (internally) PLL regulated cassette tape deck motor, supplied with a standard LM317 regulatet P/S.

My Schroederclone (which is the best design for diy i suppose) is still in progress, too many projects at once.

my future plans regarding my turntable concern only motors. I want to try expensive Maxon motors and Papst motors later on. I got some response from the motor manufacturers and they told me which turntable manufacturers buy their stuff there The main problem with most motors is that these have ball bearings which are no-go for turntables. and the voltage-regulated maxon motors are difficult get speed-stable.

Cheers
Christian.

How can I diy the arm and the cartiage?

What material do I need?

What material do I need?

Be creative! Look at commercially available arms, add your own ideas and start building.

Apart from that i think you better buy a cartridge, DIY is too difficult here.

Cheers
Christian.
