ITS SPINNING NOW

I was a bit frustrated when I couldn’t get the motor works at the correct speed. This was after being told about the adjustment screws on the top plate of the motor pod.

After some adjustment, the speed gets even faster as if the platter gonna fly off. This is supposed to be a turntable and not a flying saucer.

I gave up and called a friend at the Adelphi. He said I could have blown up the potentiometer for over adjusting. $$$$$$$$$$$$

Anyway, brought it to him last night and voila……………it does work. I adjusted correctly but wrongly. Got it? OK lah, it does not matter now, as long as it works. Thanks for your magic, Adrian.

Have been spinning it since last night and am still spinning as I wrote this. Very happy with my first project. The next one would be a horn speaker. Don't know when lah. Some pics to share.








On the left is a collector's item direct drive Luxman PD 121 with a Stax arm and on the right is my favourite Sota Saphire suspended turntable with a Luxman arm.

I hope these set up will keep me happy for the next three years.

After more then 2 months of designing, sourcing and testing some of the parts, finally the last component (bearing) arrived last week.
Without delaying further, I get all the parts cleaned and assembled them last Friday. After more then 2 hours, I managed to fit all parts together despite having the plinth built locally much earlier.

Last Saturday I was on it again at midnight. This time trying to get it running. However, it was a disappointment. I couldn’t get the speed right. Adjustments were made on the distance between motor and platter but to no avail. By then it was almost 3 am. Packed and go to sleep.

Problems were posted on the local hifi website for assistance, unfortunately it went down yesterday. Sigh….

This morning, I wrote to the supplier and was told that the speed can be adjusted via 2 screws on the top plate of the motor.
Hahahahahahaha felt so stuuuuuuuupeeeeeed. Anyway, I will look into it tomorrow.

Some pics to share.

Monday Blues........Just for the fun



LULU LAN SEKALANG

Lulu kita semua selupa
Main goli main bola
Masok longkang pun ala
Sama sama bolih ketawa

lulu punya celita tak bolih lupa
Pegi sekola jalan sama sama
Bolih makan satu meja
Culi buah olang punya.

Sulah busat ala lain sikit
Manyak olang pelut ala buncit
Lu olang cakap kita olang takla luit
Itu macam cakap hati lasa sakit.

Abis sekola semua olang sibuk
Mahu kelija cali luit
Tapi kelija susah mau masuk
Pasat kita olang takla masuk nasenal servit.

Gua punya hati manyak sakit
Nasenal servit pilih kulit
Gua punya kulit lu cakap cannot make it
Lapat sulat Lemsy Load, please wait.

Lulok lumah satu sen takla guna
Kelua lumah satu sen pun takla
Apa mau buat takla kelija
Kelija kuli pun tak apa la

Kelija pagi sampei petang
Naik loli pegi kilang
Cukup bulan bawak wang pulang
Takla cukup, utang olang.

Gua punya hati makin malah
Makin benci sama lu olang
Tapi Tuan Allah sayang sama gua
Kasi kawin sama lu punya olang.

Sulah kawin hati agak sinang
Lapat anak tiga olang
Anak2 baik punya olang
Takla sama lengan lia punya bapak

Sekalang gua sulah tua
Gua lasa ala ok lah
Tapi gua tak bolih lupa
Pasat lu olang lulu ala kasi gua malah.
