Fully Adjustable DIY Rack

Now that's sweet looking.  A whole rack of retro goodies!  I think I just had a flashback to high school

I'm negotiating for a nice Technics direct drive unit.

I have a Technic SL-Q2 unit you can use for a while. I am not using it now. I have to fully analyze my analog situation and plan an attack from scratch. My last neighbor gave me the Technics for free. It works good and I put a new (not great) Shure cartridge in it less than 10 hours play ago. Dust cover is broken and scratched, but nothing you can't fix with your skills.

Very nicely cone Nick. Earth tones and audio go very well together.

I have built a couple racks out of thick  MDF and threaded rods for my gear and they have served me well.

Very stable, adjustable, and look decent even though I did not even paint mine.
You did a very nice job.

Beautiful work ik632!  Just a thought, for a nice top finish for the all-thread rods you could use hex acorn nuts...

I was considering some of these, but I already had the threaded rod and grade 8 nuts for it. The whole rack only cost me $15 to build (the paint). Unfortunately they don't sell 3/4" acorn nuts at any store around so I'd have to order them from McMaster and I think the shipping would end up being more than the nuts themselves. Now you've got me wondering if I can find a crafty way to do this at home.

Not sure how I like the sound of the new project, Nick.... 'DIY Nuts'...

Meh get a Music Hall MMF-5.1 or something they make some awesome turntables at a great price.

I am working on a turntable to put on the top so that does sound like a good idea.

I don't even  have an appropriate comment about DIY Nuts right now, haha.
