One of my most ambitious projects yet, building a fully functioning DJ turntable! This was a real test of my foundry metalcasting skills, as well as my machining abilities, and of course, lackluster electrical knowledge. This was inspired partially by the Technics 1200 discontinuation scare of the early 2010's. Fearing the worst, a post-apocalyptic world where good turntables are no longer available, I set out to see if I could build my own just in case.

A great deal of the technical information has been omitted from the video for brevity, check out the blog post for more details on this build:
