Rek O Kut is Now Spinning

Posted by philltubes (A) on January 7, 2008 at 16:14:53

I finished my first ROK project. Well, not really finished yet but it is up and running. It's an L-34 with a 6 layer Birch ply plinth and an older Denon arm. I still need to pretty up the plinth and make a new armboard out a different material, I had to use 1/4 plywood for the armboard. It sounds good but a little brittle at times, I need to send off the wheel for some fresh rubber, hopefully this will improve the sound, I also need to add some feet to the plinth. A new arm would also improve things. Well, she's mine and I built her, I learned quite bit about about building a plinth during this project which I'll use on my next project, a B-12GH. I would also like to open up the motor for polishing and lubing but I'm afraid it's a sealed motor, no brand name listed on the tag.
