Can I build an Linn LP-12 piece by piece?

With all the separate parts for an LP12 available on eBay,plinth,armboard,arm etc. I was wondering if it would be feasible to build a Frankenstein version. With time and Patience and of course some cash I bet it could be done at a substantial savings. What parts do you think would be the hardest to locate? Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
