Hello, Barrie from the Netherlands. Hifi lover / analogue lover. Did make almost my entire HiFi set myself, Turntable Tonearm MC cartridge (not finished) see topic, lot of dutch speaking. but also lot of pictures. http://forum.zelfbouwaudio.nl/viewt...aaitafel&sid=c8b7bb7425a42e92d6fbb11b33b83af6 Also made my own Loudspeakers, using Philips vintage Drivers. http://forum.zelfbouwaudio.nl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22410 As a profession i am fine mechanic. CNC milling, Wire EDM, etc. Also have deep respect for the Nagra SN models but they are really too expensive for me. Just bought meself an Sony WM-d3 to play with. Way too expensive for its not working order. But would love to rebuild it and enjoy it. (or might let it be rebuild) Not especially a collector. Greetings!, B
Welcome to Stereo2go Barrie If you look through our previous topics one that comes up quite a lot is replacing broken parts in Boomboxes and Walkmans. Mihokm seems to have perfected a replacement for the infamous DD Centre Gear but there are many other types with problem gears like Old Philips boomboxes. I have sometimes wondered whether parts could be produced economically using CNC. Regarding making Hi-Fis in 1979 my college project was making a Stereo Amplifier. I only needed to use a drill, Fly Press and Punches to do the mechanics of that though.
