"New" gramophones

A funnel, a old gramophone drive, a sound box, a tone arm and a turntable -should it not be a new gramophone ?

A housing is to be built the first step: plywood and profile borders from the home market are the basis. As a model books, internet and my already existing gramophone serve. The wood are cut fitting in the home market. A drawing should be made before. Besides, also already is to be thought of the admission of the funnel in the housing. Here the Grammophon-Bastler (german web site of a man, who produce and sell gramophone-parts) has helped me very much. The funnel hanger is poured from hard lead - however, is very solid), my initial doubts are scattered.

The temporary result is in the left picture. Functioned already completely well - but I had to find out that the drive still needs some re machining. It has no constant speed. Reason is the sprocket wheel on the turntable shaft. I have to adjust it still again.
Will soon continue!
