Hi Ben, what do you need? Are you trading a TT or looking for one? I have a Integra CP-1057F that isn't getting any use right now. Was totl in the 80's Onkyo line. +80db S/N ratio with the gold platter and tonearm. Works great, full auto DD quartz but needs a new dustcover and hinges, lets call it a fixer upper. OTOH, what turntable are you looking to trade?

I just need a direct drive TT to make a record cleaner out of. No needle, no tone arm, no problem.

Ben, I may have one in storage out at the country house. If I make it out there this weekend I'll take a look around. Do you want the motor to work?
A fabricated 12v motor / idler wheel to the inside of the platter may be a safe option.

Kewl, I have been thinking about making one too.
Please update with your progress, as it might inspire me

If Polkersince85 can't come through for you I have all the pieces you're looking for. Onkyo CP-1027 base and DD motor unit (not working), platter and mat, and a working gear-motor drive from a electric jar lid remover with a fitted foam RC plane wheel. Spins about 6-8 rpm with mucho torque. I was gonna build an RCM with it outside of the base, build a box, but haven't bothered to get it done. Yours for the asking. PM me if you need it.

Sweet. That would work fine on both accounts.

I can even ship ups from work for free, and I believe I have the rest of the turntable guts around here someplace if you want 'em. So your outlay would be...um...zilch.

Sold! I and a few other Polkies will certainly put this device to good use:) Jerry, George, and, I are all into vinyl and close.

If you'll PM your ship info I'll get it out to you Monday Ben. Do you want the innards from the turntable? I think I know where I put them:rolleyes:

great idea to use the low speed high torque motor Jim.

I thought that was nifty also. A can opener can be had for $10!

Polkersince85

Good deal. That will save me from having to fight off the bears and coyotes to get to mine.

Thanks PS85. You know, but I'll repeat it. You are always welcome here.
