Bought it as just a plinth with motor and bearing off eBay, adapted WTRP bearing, spindle and platter purchased off eBay to it by building a lower base. Moved the squash ball feet to the lower base, bought an AC adapter, built the arm and arm suspension, counterweight, arm rest and designed 3 parts that a friend printed 3D for me. Originally tried to adapt the 5-pin DIN plug to the plinth that WT Lab uses, ID'd by another Simplex owner, and tracked it down in China ($40 for a $10 plug...) but it was a slightly different part than used on this particular Simplex plinth, so I wired directly to the PIB box. Took some time but sounds very good.

Here's my Well Tempered Simplex rebuild. We've renamed it the WT "Complex."
