I’ve recently got my dads old HMV 2010 With Garrard TT and realised upon dismantling it two things.
Firstly it’s a mass produced thing made of chipboard and glue, mass produced kind of thing which is fair enough.
Secondly, it’s a bit battered and affected by damp in places.

It looks “ok” , but a thought occurred , maybe I could buy another piece of nicer furniture and retro fit the TT and speakers etc into that.

Tell me this is a dumb idea please. Do others do this kind of thing ?
