Teres update

OK. Heres where I'm at now:

Chris is sending the motor, bearing and platter today.

I have the arm.

I have the wood.

I bought batteries for my digital camera.

I set up a page to post pics.

I got rid of the family members whom I thought would never leave after Turkey day.

Monday is the target start day. First up is a model built out of 2x4s. I'll post the link to the picture page when I get the first ones up. I am going to try and document the process in detail.

Let the games begin!

Joe

P.S. Tom & Doug: Get ready for lots of questions!

Joe,

Glad to hear you're making progress! In your spare time :) you might check out www.theanalogdepot.com. It's the home page of a guy who built an acrylic Teres in 2002. Lots of details and photos.

Joe,

Glad you're okay with the Teres bits. :)

If you can get a Shelter 901 for $1100 from a safe source, I'd jump on it. Tell the wife she can have the house and the silver. You get the stereo and the records. ;)

I haven't heard a Koetsu Black, but nobody has ever put it above a 901 in any area except the midrange. The 901 can be a tiny bit thin there. I'm sure a Black is warmer/fuller in the mids.

I'll rave about my 901 if you like, tell you how astounding it is for both big classical and big rock, that you have no idea until you've heard one. But I wouldn't want to influence your decision. ;)
