This turntable is an educational experience.
All parts are easily accessible in DIY stores or can be printed with
low-cost 3D printers. The tonearms single-point hanging consists of a
nail. Even the counter-weight of the tonearm is realized with
washers. The cross beams are aluminum u-profiles,
which can be trimmed effortlessly with a saw. The cables are wired within the u profiles,
easily accessible from below. The code for the microcontroller
can either be downloaded via GitHub or you can learn how to
program using the online manual.
