Tanya Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hello! Is anyone aware of a tutorial for making an electrified turntable? I am aware I can buy them. I would prefer to build it myself. A search of the internet has yielded nothing that is helpful to me. Has anyone built one? Is anyone willing to give me some ideas? Thanks so much!

fov Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Not quite a tutorial, but here's how I did one: http://www.emilymorganti.com/blog/?p=1867 I just drilled a hole in the base that lines up with the junction splice and poked the lead-in wire through that hole. A small piece of stiff paper is stabled over the hole to make the lead-in wire lie flat and keep it from slipping out. The hole is off to the side of the turntable. The house isn't permanently attached to the base and the junction splice is on the underside of the foundation, so as the house is placed on top of the base it needs to get plugged in before it's put all the way down. This is a half scale house made out of die-cut plywood (the Fairfield). For a bigger/heavier house it might be more difficult to do it this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
