📀 Turntable from tins - DIY

This record player was made from cans. Due to the use of an electric motor from a cassette recorder, the turntable received a speed control of the disc.
To adjust the pressure of the needle to the plate, a paper clip is used, the position of which determines this force. As an anti-skating, a spring is used, which is also a cable connecting the headshure head to the amplifier connection socket.

The soundtrack music was so annoying, I couldn't watch the video. Use real music with a melody.

[@IurisWorkshop]

I agree with you! But, unfortunately, you have to pay for good music. And my channel does not bring in any tangible income so that I can afford it.

great vids , hard to watch with the noisy start and silly music

It is possible to buy a real vinyl needle, chearch the pinout and then connecting it to the audio out ?

[@IurisWorkshop]

It might be better to just buy a ready-made record player or repair a faulty one...

[@MoodyRiffs]

@@IurisWorkshop I mean, you built the turntable, and then if you want better quality sound, you can try putting it. I also saw that turntable needle have 4 pins, 2 for + and - for the L channel and same for the R channel. In all case I like your work !

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@MoodyRiffs Thanks for the comments and high rating! I hope you can guess that I have a decent turntable at home. I did this project not at all to listen to music, but simply for fun. And although the turntable worked, I disassembled it immediately after filming the video. This is what I do with most of my projects.

[@MoodyRiffs]

@@IurisWorkshop Yeah I understand, I also like doing DIY projets, and I always wanted to make a home-made turntable as a new project, and I saw your video that inspire me and giving me ideas. I like making things by myself so I don't really want to buy a ready-made turntable, because like you said it's fun, and I just have 1 vinyl disc 😅, an old disc I got from my grand-mother, that I never listened it. I will repost a comment when I made it !

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@MoodyRiffs If you have perfect pitch, then you can convert any inexpensive turntable, significantly increasing the mass of the platter. Making from scratch is much more difficult. To listen to music normally, you need a corrector amplifier configured for a specific cartridge.

[@Hasse.Andersson]

omg (4 years later) what did you do with those poor records... Nice DIY, but... you should have gone for a cheap pickup at least (less destructive path).

[@IurisWorkshop]

To my regret, you are also among those who think that a steel needle is harder than a diamond or corundum needle. The problem is not the wear of the disc, but the wear of the needle.

[@Hasse.Andersson]

@@IurisWorkshop Well, I have first hand experience of a "steel" needle. In my very young youth I "tried" to use one (A sewing needle) it really created some cool grooves that was heard later on when played with a real needle. So I used me own experience as a reference. I do not think it is about hardness but the shape of the needle and how smooth it shape becomes. Somehow I did not expect the method used to create it to be very accurate - my mistake?

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@Hasse.Andersson Yes, the sound quality depends on the shape of the needle. That's why I showed in the video that I changed the shape of the tip of the pin. But what you see when you play the disc is not chips, but ordinary dust. It's just that in real life we don't notice it, even if the needle is diamond.

[@picodrift]

Impressive work, but you know without dialog people tend to overlook your video. keep it up buddy, be brave, don't be afraid to let your voice out.

I was taught at the film school that if you can’t tell a story without words, then you don’t need to shoot. :)

@@amandahammond4601 I am making an entertaining video. I used to write articles and upload drawings, but now the audience’s interest in this work has faded.

I'm sorry about that.

If at the end, then this is of course Bach.

[@moar_nightsong]

I know that it might have been a while since anyone has posted a comment on this video, but i have a question. Can I use soda cans instead of tin cans for cartridge and tonearm? Does it affect sound in any way? Thx in advance. (PS. Amazing video, great editing skills)

[@IurisWorkshop]

If you want to create a unique product, then you yourself have to check the materials for suitability.

[@moar_nightsong]

@@IurisWorkshop Sorry for being a little late, but thanks for advice. I do have one small problem, the tonearm doesn't transfer any sound from the vinyl record to the speakers. It does transfer the sound of my fingers as small taps and pops, but nothing else. Do you have any suggestions? (Thanks in advance)

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@moar_nightsong I can assume that the pickup speaker is faulty or the pickup needs a larger signal gain.

[@sofiandr9]

8:38 - 8:40 , that was painful, the disc was scratched

[@IurisWorkshop]

You just see the dust. A steel needle will wipe faster than a disc. That is why corundum or diamond needles are used in factory turntables.

[@sofiandr9]

Do It Yourself , yes, i agree. Great post anyways, and great construction of a turnable, its so inspiring.

[@audioFail06]

@@IurisWorkshop It will still ruin that record

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@audioFail06 Steel needle is too soft to spoil the vinyl disk. Quickly spoil the needle, not a disk. Therefore, corundum and diamond needles are used in real players.

@@IurisWorkshop One that could be figured out with descriptions in the video and a materials list.

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@amandahammond4601 IMHO, the only material that can raise questions is a piece of silicone gasket. But I indicated it in the video. Derovo, wire, tin can, motor from a cassette player - everything seems to be clear here.
