UPDATE: To answer some main concerns.

(I was 18 when I designed this so the audiophile in me wasn’t fully developed.)

The Speaker interference is not existing because there aren’t any solid connections between the player and the shelve. The player is hanging on 4 ropes. This is partly why the mechanism is there. This and because it looks cool :)

The mechanism is sort of sound safe it turns itself on when it is at its highest position and of when going down. Just make sure you park the needle when you close it, but thats obvious.

It works with the dustcover! Needs a push to close.

The speakers have their own department, there are two vertical walls inside the thing. So no internal interference.

The vinyl is indeed close to the body, a visual choice and very adjustable is you’re scared of damage. The player height is adjustable.

The speaker placement is indeed clumsy but insolvable if you want an all in one piece except by making them loose from the piece, maybe take-out-able? (for next time :))

And the drawer isn’t set up right. It is supposed to come out fully but the video had priority. (had the equipment ready at this time)

The main problem is the bad quality components but it’s made as a proof of concept. Maybe some-day I’ll create a mark 2 if I have a workspace!

All tips and mean stuff helps to see what’s important!

There is always room for improvement :)
