This DIY Kit Lets You Make A Turntable From Cardboard And Plastic
In under 20 minutes you can have your very own on-the-go turntable.
Do you fancy yourself as the DIY type? Now you can focus your craftsmanship on constructing your very own portable record player. The SpinBox is a nifty new DIY turntable kit assembled entirely out of plastic and cardboard. Composed from a series of pre-made electronic parts and housed in the waterproof cardboard packaging that the kit comes in, the SpinBox is both an upcycle and a vinyl junkie’s dreams.
Despite the kit’s economical packaging and size, the SpinBox is equipped with all the functionality you would expect from a modern record player. It features a built-in amplifier, two speakers and a USB power bank port. The turntable can be played at 33, 45 und 78 rpm and, despite it’s size, it has a platter big enough to play 12-inch records. It’s also designed to be assembled in under 20 minutes, so in no time at all you could be packing portable analog sound on the run.
