Call him.

I like that... inherit someone else's headache for only $50!

Looks like something they'd have built on Monster Garage.
I think I read that back in the 40's Les Paul used a Cadillac flywheel to make a recording turntable.

Apparently it's a belt drive and that's a cover.

There might be a beefy bearing under the platter. Prolly not worth $50 though.

What do they use for an on/off switch, a starter motor from an Oldsmobile?

Interesting looking project.

doooooo ittttt. There's lots of questions that need to be answered. You should see if you can at least get some better pics from the seller, wonder if there's more to the story than the pic's show

What he sent:

Doesn't come with a belt, though. Wonder what size?


Ben aka MacKat

 

[gadget73]

easy enough to work out. Use a piece of string to gauge the length, then find the belt thats a smidge shorter.

 

[Westy56]

Why?


Ben aka MacKat

You know, why not. There could be some good parts on that TT. :yes:
A re wired BW might go well with it.

 

[mackat]

I was thing that myself. Is that an SME cutout I spy?


Ben aka MacKat

 

[similost]

Pretty beefy looking motor.. wonder what it came from.

 

[mackat]

Me too.

[mackat]
