Hi all,
Just thought I'd share my little project with you all. I decided to make use of some very idle powertools and handcrafted a head shell for my DC-3 chassis rather than have it in it's original combo.
I've seen the "professional" looking ones on here which are mighty impressive, and despite knowing that I'd get nowhere near it, thought I'd give it a go all the same Anyway, here's a little pic:
If anyone else is thinking of doing it, I'd say go ahead, it's great fun. Main tools used have been a jigsaw, circular saw and router, but found that I'd have probably made straighter cuts with just the jig saw! Oh, and a drill for pilot holes and stuff. The blue front is clear perspex still with the protective covering on it. Hopefully get the rest of it all sorted over the next couple of weekends if time allows.
Cheers all!
