    Understood, that is what I thought

    You can fabricate a VERY nice switch box for $25 bucks or less, something with very good positive sealed switch contacts like with a DIP or Mil-spec type (check what Bourns has to offer at Mouser)

    Redco Audio also has an excellent assortment of high quality jacks, cable etc, charge ACTUAL shipping, no minimum order and their prices are the best that I have found:

    Horse poo poo Thomas, I have 50 bucks into this switch box using numero uno parts. A little too small on the box but it will work. Just now getting started on it.

    O.K., I'm done with it. Used mil spec flexible shielded cable and gold plated RCA plugs. and a high end DPDT on-on switch Now I'll get a Mogami turntable cable and I will be able to use two turntables without plugging and unplugging. I don't have much room for it but I plan on setting it on top of one of my 4345's. I'll put a black poster board down and a 3/8 in. semi hard rubber pad with a 1/4 smoked glass top on that then the turntable, that should damp any vibes, (I Hope)

    I've skimmed it so far.............probably good he didn't post it here first for a trial run, and for me to take a shot at it!

    Pretty good grasp of the situation though despite his cockiness (and ginormous pot holes of ignorance, (aka: youth/inexperience); at least he acknowledges (seems to know) the differences in table (a LOT of them don't)

    I like what certainly appears to be the SL-1300 (original servo vesion) in the glamour shot, same table I just re-capped and tweaked for my Son, good table, with the M97xE as well

    I just saw this, BEAUTIFUL!
    Where'd you buy all your parts?
    Regardless, that's $50 bucks well spent and you know what you have
    Nice

    [QUOTE=Mr. Widget;363263]My current turntable is a Micro Seiki built Luxman PD-300. It has the best suspension of any table I've ever owned. You can tap violently on the plinth and virtually no sound comes through the system. I haven't cranked the DD66000s to crazy levels, but I have never heard any type of feedback even at pretty high SPLs... from my experience suspensions matter, even if only playing at moderate levels.

    thats one beautiful table......you need to ship it east!

    Wanted to know what arm that is, a Jelco? And are you Moonlighting as "futo"?

    Not sure what you're asking, but the photo I posted was representative of the Luxman. Mine has a Lustre GST 801 arm on it.

    Thomas,

    I was going to get it at Mouser but they didn't have some of the stuff I wanted so I was picking up some wire at a local electronics store and they have a pretty good selection of components and I found them there. I could have gotten one from Redco cheaper but I knew I could do it with better parts. I should have gotten the box about 1in. larger all around but I put my glasses on and managed to get it done. I haven't checked it out yet because I haven't gotten the Mogami cable but as soon as I do AND get my networks installed in my 4345 clones I will be camping.

    I was asking what that arm was (not one commonly seen on that table) as well as searching for the answer myself, ergo the inadvertent discovery that you had used a photo already out there (well, I know that now anyway/you just confirmed)

    Your original post did not indicate you had used an "example" so I pressumed it was an image of the actual deck you owned

    Yes, nobody ever seems to have everything you need.............Redco and Mouser are just my "go to first" places when it comes to mail order parts (and as I have mentioned the two most honest about their shipping)

    For things like boxes, some switches (NON Mil-spec as a rule) 716Ps, odd value caps and tubes A.E.S. (Antique Electronic Supply) is another one I like............they are also a Hammond distributor (I noticed that's what you used) Also a fairly close to "actual cost on shipping" vendor besides being a good stuff/good service outfit
