One night when I played my beloved Eric Clapton vinyl, I found I cannot stand anymore the popcorn noise and unlimited dust….
Under the influence by few cans of beer, I pop up the idea of DIY cleaning machine……
I had no confidence to start the plan until I found DC's DIY thread in Audiokrama.com
You guys were wonderful sharing all ideas and photos. Thanks DC and all.
I have very limited tools. A Bosch 9.6v drill, a 15years old Dremel ….etc.
Both top panel and platter were 2cm thick Acrylic. Cut by the shop. Printed black color on the bottom.
Most of the parts were from my rest-in-peace RC helicopter, It helped a lot on those Hinge, bearing and shaft area. Here is the youtube link to show how it works: -

It was killing me to open such big square hole by dremel and a file. Thanks for the protection paper which helped for marking.
This Nidec DC motor with gear box costed me usd 80. It has plenty of torque to drive the heavy acrylic platter.
Very steady and compact. With the gear box, it turns about 40rpm at 12v.
Here is the motor and gear box info web page for your reference.
