    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.

    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.
