Hi. Thanks for the interest. I have to remind you that a request on this thread only is not enough to complete your inscription to this GB. You need to send me a personal email with your name, shipping address and confirmation that you can pay using PayPal. By doing so, I also insure that I get your personal email and make sure you get the price estimate, shipping cost, request for payment, etc...

Simple request without these informations cannot be accepted. I'll need to be paid first for the parts (using PayPal). Then I need to be sure I know where to send the parts before I buy them. Otherwise I can get stuck with thousand of dollar worth of parts.

Thanks for your understanding...

By the way, a good introduction to this project is to download the complete documentation. Read also the FAQ sections in this doc. See Bas Horneman website link for the doc: http://www.basenjes.de/tubes/data/sb/TT_Motor_Controller_SB_Doc_Ver_1.4.pdf

Take note that I'll close this GB with 30 PCB's, next quantity to order being 50. I must also remind you, that this is a simpler, quicker GB. Just one type of pulley will be offer. It will probably be a string pulley unless everyone want a tape pulley. A tape pulley, the Teres may be order directly from Teres Audio (it will support only 33rpm speed). The string pulley is a good compromise, been smaller, lighter, etc, and not being available commercially (custom built). As mentioned at the beginning of this thread, the last GB with the multiples options was just too time consuming and mind bugling. I may have 2-3 tape pulleys left from the previous GB pulley exchange program, that that will be all.

I'm not getting involved in anything mechanical or that need machining. It can get a real nightmare, very rapidly. If you need any other parts, you'll need to find the solution yourself. Turntable mechanic is a lot more complex that it seems at first sight. It is not something an amateur should try, and I certainly know nothing about mechanic (and I want to keep it that way 😉 )

Noted Spica. Please forward all your requests to me by email so I can keep a trace of them. Thanks.

🙂 PixelPlay thanks for bringing up the topic,I am also wondering if we can get together for a Teres platter group buy,is it possible at all?I mean will Teres give us a deal or quantity discount? Sylvain do you happen to know?Did a GB for a platter happened before?
I see the Teres new platter goes for $1425 for 2-3/4 inch thick and $1675 for a 3-3/4 thick.
Many regards
George

My email is: bergeron.syl"at"videotron.qc.ca

Teres may be your best one of your best choice. Clearaudio also has numerous upgrade parts available for their TT. It may be possible to buy an upgrade platter/bearing kit and use it as starting point for your project.

Nanook was trying to put together a platter/bearing GB. He made some progress I think. You should try to contact him. Search the forum for his post.

I'll close the GB pretty soon with 30 PCB's.

Then I'll email each of you with a first payment details. It will include the part's prices that you choose. You must send me the money using PayPal. Then I can buy the parts.

So, check your email and respond rapidly to my payment request. The faster I get the money, the faster I place the orders and that you get the parts. Rough estimate is already close to 4K$ total for me to spend on parts. Sorry guys, but I don't have this kind of money myself.

Once I get all the parts, I'll recontact all of you with shipping cost and last minutes cost adjustments (if any). Also, any money contributions to my hard work is really appreciated 😀. I use these small donations on my projects 😉. Feel free to do so or not.

Thanks...
