looking for a real good stereo cutting to copy and build

Anything goes! Inventors! Artists! Cutting edge solutions to old problems. But also non-commercial usage of record cutting. Cost- effective, cost-ineffective, nutso, brilliant, terribly fabulous and sometimes fabulously terrible ideas.

its not actually a bran of any kind this just somethin i managed fashion out of wood and bits off old turntables the actual table itself is just a t120 stanton and a old table lamp ... the head shell is made from a old drinks can and copper cones + 2 old speakers its not the best by any means ... i have seen some 1st class workmenship on here .... but trial and error gets you somewhere .... problems you will come a cross as you go ... my advice is to just keep a note pad to hand and keep note as you go its good for a chain of progress .... lexan 1.5 mm is 1 of the better plastics as well .... I am hoping to construct a far better head and movement part soon and give it a bash lol
