Here's my Well Tempered rebuild
Here's my Well Tempered Simplex rebuild. We've renamed it the WT "Complex."
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 is a link to a controller that works well.
It is designed by the the original designer of the Falcon and Roadrunner.
Not to difficult to build and works very well.

So in my quest of audio nirvana from from a record lathe, I came up with this design.
I have only run it with my test cartridge which is an Ortofon Blue and it sounds very nice.
Have yet to build the motor housing and controller for the BLDC motor, it sounded great even with the VPI motor.... -
Being as these forums are my home and I like to contribute with what I can I have decided to post all the info pertaining to the turntable I'm planning out and going to build.
All my friends have been getting turntables... So I decided to start planning out my DIY turntable. This is what... -
Just curious if anyone here has ever built a turntable? What kind of advice would you give someone that was considering the idea? I've sort of look around and I'm guessing I'd have to buy a decent arm and motor (type?), but I would think everything else could be built using common wood working tools?... -
Hi.
I have a Rega P3 2000 table. Is it worthwhile for me to consider the 24v motor and/or Groovetracer subplatter upgrades? I like the turntable a lot but have to wonder if the money might be better spent moving up to a different one. With the gear I have, wondering what you might...
