Turntable

[Cliff George]

I decided to have a go at making myself a turntable for indoor use. I've seen a few for sale but they are all far too expensive. I didn't like the look of the Pola one.

Here is what I have done so far, with MDF, Meccano and some bearings. Still a way to go.

Oh I don't know.
It is high in entertainment value.
I got a funny look from HWMBO when I fell about laughing.

Man with invisible spade makes track adjustments on new turntable. Still a way to go.

I hate to admit it, but I did laugh, if only because my failures have been equally profund, if less public. Bravo Meerkat!

Some great work there Cliff - is the turntable going to be manual and, how are you intending to maintain the power supply to the track - or am I asking these questions too soon?
