oracle turntables

oracle turntable delphini 2 with the origin live dc motor upgrade

I built a bracket for oracle turntable motor. Haven't drilled or mounted it yet, but I started with a simple 1/2" wide by 1/8" thick by 12" long strip of metal, then bent it into a "u" shape with inward facing ears on the top which will mount the plate from the motor. Then all that~s needed is drilling holes on either ear for the motor mount, and 2 holes in the bottom for securing it to the base. Strips of metal like this can be bought in hardware stores.
The whole thing takes about an hour.
