Since we had some left over plywood parts for the very first version (from 2013) of our Dostoyevsky turntable model, which were laying around for almost 10 years (being rejected then due to some minor imperfections in woodwork), we decided not to trash them completely.
Thus, we modified those plywood parts in order to accommodate them to install an AC motor from some wasted Rega Planar3 record player along with small PCB containing starting capacitors, an on/off switch and a power cable.
Further, we fixed an old Alphason Delta tone arm which was laying in the closet for a long time and desperately needed some attention.
Name plate says "Dostoyevsky 001", which is not true, but knowing the facts that plywood parts are one of the first pieces manufactured when we originally designed our Dostoyevsky DCX back in the 2013 and the transparent Acrylic platter is also one of the very first platter/main bearing matched pairs we ever manufactured, than this unit can be easily marked as "Dostoyevsky 001".
We are very pleased with the final result, as the Dostoyevsky/Alphason in combination with the Benz Micro Ruby Z cartridge sounded so impressively, putting to a shame some much more expensive models from a very famous turntable brands, we had for a comparison.
