DIY composite platter

Hi Chris,
I have no plans for it other than it would make a nice suicide stone… You can pick it up for free but I won’t ship it. The platter has to be corrected on a big lathe which is a problem because of fiberglass content. A filler metal ring could be made to fit a bearing. The platter would have to be balanced again.
As the platter is a home made experiment, it is not good enough to replace Teres 255. Because it is not perfectly round I listened to it only very briefly. I can not comment on sound other then what I already said. It did not compliment the sound of my system
 
Hi to every bodie, i am modifyng a RX1500VG

hello to all, I am modifying micro seiki rx1500vg. Fvg would have wished one. I am gliding to make plate levitable. You could send to me or publish pics in Diyaudio because I cannot enter inmate pictures. I do not finish solving the size of the magnetos the distance and the shield. Fodder that with the information and the images of MAREKST i will have almost solved the problem. A great greeting to all

Dady,
Magnetic levitation doesn’t guaranty sound improvement - it did not work for me!
I believe it works for people with shaky setups (vibrating TT stands in urban houses) and inferior initial bearings and platters.

There are “geniuses” who claim that magnetic field doesn’t affect cartridges and use large diameter magnets, without any shield directly under thin platter.
Anyway, my shield worked well, if you want the shield and magnets come and pick it up.

The magnetos must be farway from the center?

I am trying with a two halves of 180 degre for make a ring with an 160mm of internal diametre, the with is 12mm and the tall 3mm. I have 45 mm of taller space for shield with mumetal, cuprum, and iron, making sandwiches to rear and side parts avoiding the radiating of magnetic fields special to the center and platter.
Thanks dear friends for the pics, the magnet are rings and radios, the finish is amazing and professional.
