The turntable "design" is so lacking it hurts. That is an Ariston RD-80 turntable with a Linn arm and its being absolutely denigrated by random thoughtless motorcycle parts thrown on it haphazardly. They serve no purpose. I follow DIY turntable assembly and designs online and have seen them "in the wild," people who actually build tables and arms themselves deserve the coverage, not student/industry collabs that put out stuff like this.
