The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Homemade 747 Flight Simulator
By James Grahame
Believe it or not, you're looking at a homemade Boeing 747-400 simulator. Australian Matthew Sheil started work on this beauty in 1998 and it's now mounted on a motion platform that features three McFadden 310A Motion Systems for added realism (as if duplicating every switch and panel in a 747 cockpit wasn't realistic enough).
An attached PC runs Aerowinx Precision Simulator software to provide authentic 'glass cockpit' instrumentation. Where possible, the machine is built using genuine Boeing parts, such as modified 737 control yokes and a center panel that prominently features throttles from an early 747. I wonder if Sheil and crew eat airline food during their "flights?"
