Technics SP-15 DIY
« on: 28 Oct 2018, 08:49 pm »
I bought this SP-15 a few years ago, it came with a ATP-12 tone arm.
Its from a broadcast booth from Alaska, and its in perfect, not a mark condition.
Built a 2pc, 5 layers of 1" pool table slate plinthe, surrounded with red stained Padauk.
I estimate about 250 lbs all in......why its 2 pcs.
Gonna need to build a table to set it on.

Im working on a linear tracking arm for it....why there is so much room on the arm board side.
For now I have a Denon 103R on the ATP, they play VERY well with each other, much better
than I ever dreamed.

Thats a heavily modded Jolida JD-9 between the plinthe and base.

Enjoy the crappy cell phone pics.....

That is a beautiful table. I wish I had the talent to do something like this.

Hey Graham,

Yes, I used strips of self adhesive sill gasket approx 2mm thick between each layer.

Thanks.....I like making stuff.
Heres a Rega P3......actually parts....that I put together with some of the
left over slate and Padauk wood.  "L" shaped slate with pin stripe.
