Might re-edit this sometime as the background noise (My wife is watching TV again) is annoying me.
Scavenging again. This time I am disassembling an AIWA PXE-855 record turntable.
Not a lot of useful items found here. Just a 12 volt electric motor which has some extra terminations on it that I am not sure about, maybe to provide speeds for the turntable at 45 rpm and 33 rpm.
A few wire pushrods, a few plastic gears, a power supply transformer that I think is 240v ac/12v dc. A small circuit board with a bunch of capacitors.
I am tempted to make something with the clear/smokey plastic lid, maybe a toy car just because I like the look of it.
