BillTodd:
Made from parts of a few old harddrives and broken monitors.

The deck is the poly carbonate light-pipe from a 19inch monitor turning on the motor (used only as a bearing) of an HDD  .

The drive motor is another hdd motor driven by a ebay 3ph driver board. it turns the deck using a monofilament fishing line , knotted into a belt.

The arm is 3d printed in resin with a carbon fibre tube and uses more hdd bearings.

The 10mm poly carbonate body is from another 21inch monitor.

The "soundstage enhancing constrained-layer anti-resonance clarity hooves"  (copyright nephew George) are surplus poly V pulleys.
