Acoustic Signature thread drive TT motor.

Serious heavy kit.
Dual speed switching.
Heavy 'wall wart' type 2 pin power supply.

A quality piece of kit.

€165.00

[That's not my TT. Just to show hoe the motor works.]

Just to take the bare look out of it :) That's a fantastic price Gerry....Not too gone on the finish but what the heck, especially at ridiculously low price!

Thanks Dermot.
Yes, a good price. But I'm trying to be realistic in these recessionary times.

It's a lovely motor. Quiet, stable speed.

I used it for a couple of years for some of my DIY turntables.

I think that it, along with the great Rega tonearm I have for sale here also, make the start of a fantastic TT set up.
If somebody was to pick up an old chassis and platter they would have all the bits of a mighty turntable for little money. Just a few hours of easy effort.

There's a guy on DIYaudio at the moment also selling a clone of the Teres bearing at $180 each. This is excellent value, would mate perfectly with the motor here, and would really put you on a par with th ebest TTs out there. You would still need a platter - and the bearing is made for a fairly high mass one. It would take up to 20-25kg if you wanted to go that far!

So, motor and arm here, bearing over there, you would only need a platter and chassis to make something pretty special.

Richard's Mission TT would be a solid start! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1373

Indeed, thanks - except it's sold pending payment (if the postage to UK is too extortionate then I guess purchaser may back out...will know later this week!).

If anyone is interested in going this route, I have all the Teres drawings etc to get you underway. You can even come here and measure mine and I can bring you through the various philosphies etc etc etc. Be great to have another Teres clone in the country.

Nice one.
I think it's a really satisfying venture to make something that you can enjoy listening to.
The turntable is a great way to start on the DIY route.
Particularly if electronics are daunting.
